Milledgeville, Ga., January 17 (Special) Harrisburg,
a small village in Baldwin county, made up entirely of colored people, is the
first community of its kind on record in this state to erect a memorial to
colored soldiers of the world war.
The monument was unveiled January 1, at
which time the entire community was present and took part in an elaborate
patriotic program.
The monument was paid for by colored citizens
of Harrisburg, the idea of raising it originated with them, and the exercise
accompanying the unveiling ceremony were staged by them without any outside help
or suggestions.
