OF the destuuon and suffering 10 that region have been
painfully confirmed We shall not speak In The Ian

shared the mothers fate Other citizens have painfully
struggled into Clinton county on foot, begging FOR food
Some of them had lived for number OF days on locks
alone, and the stencil OF their bodies almost nsucra
bio. The whole country In the new counties s stripped OF
food, and even those In best circumstances can pro.
cure nothing 10 eat but boiled pumpkins and
