power to supply them with such articles O
clothing as they need; and, if necessary
deny themselves some of the Injuries tx
which they have been accustomed in orde1
to accomplish this object? We feel certain
that it has only to be known that such .
society is in operation to insure the hearty
concurrence and assistance of every lady it
our District. The plan proposed is this
That we make up flannel shirts and draw
ers, and knit wooden socks and send then
on to our volunteers those whose eircum
stances allow will purchase them of Us a
the cost of the mate r.al, and those unable
to purchase, will receive them gratuitously
The money thus obtained will enable tht
society to continue its operations, so thai
when the companies now organizing reach
the scene Of conflict, it may be able to ex
tend to them tho same assistance which il
now does to those already there. There
are few who: can do nothing; and we de
most earnestly, in the name Of those who
have left their homes and 6resides for the
defence Of our liberty, solicit everybody ir
our District, old and young, rich and poor
to contribute according to their ability t.
this most important work. Money, aanne
or woolen socks, will all be equally accepta
BILE. In addition to the contributions, ths
society is desirous of purchasing severa
hundred yards of flannel, and those who
are in the habit of weaving, will find Ger
tain sale for every yard Of colored fame
they can make, by bringing it to the store

The society being DOW formed, we earn
estly solicit aid from all those, both in town
and country, who feel an interest in. the
brave men who have cheerfully )elt theil
all and gone to battle with the vile invader
.Some have given their dear ones-theil
husbands and their sons-and feel as though
they could do DO more but there is ye'
more to be done, and we, for whom all
these sacrifices have been made, must dc
it, or else our soldiers must suffer. Situa'
ted as they are, they have no facilities for
procuring such articles of clothing as they
need, and We feel that the heart of every
Southern woman will respond to the call fol
their assistance Let each one do what
she can, and God will bless US and our
loved ones, and in His own good time, re.
store peace to our beloved country.
The society acknowledges the receipt Of
