Soldiers Aid Sociely.-The next NEE ting of
the Ladies' Aid Society will be held tomorrow
evening at the residence off. V. Quarles. A full
attendance is requested.
We understand the receipts Of this Society are
considerable, and that the ladies connected with
it are making up quite large quantity of cloth

and hope there are few of our citizens who will
fail to add their mite to the fund of the Ladies' Aid
Society. 1t is wonderful how much may be &C.
complished by concert of action, without any one
hardly feeling it

will be produced by the assurance that by thous-
and fresides, busy fingers are engaged in working
for their comfort, and sending to them whatever
is necessary to alleviate their sufferings, when
sick and wounded, is almost incalculable
There should be a society of this kind in every
School District in this State, and as fast as mate
rial is gathered up by them it should be forward

they will certainly reach their destination. Very

trys defenders, anl not one single woman but
what can add at least roll of lint pillow a towel
or something of that kind. Let it be done and
done speedily.
We append the plan of organization, direction
of packages, and list of articles called for.
In this connection we may mention that we re
