ns-The Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society of
nbuoue. have fitted up Refreshment
/ aoon on the State Fair Grounds, which
ommences tomorrow. The net proceeds
sll, of course, be appropriated to the gen.

" of course, receive large share of the
patronage of those who feel for and wish TO
relieve the necessities of our noble volun-
