Sanitary Military Home Aid Association is a
truly disinterested one. We have engaged the
property mentioned in the Programme, on com
mission from very honest men, not of this town,
and under liberal conditions for the benefit of
our undertaking, as stated in the Programme laid
before the General Assembly Of Ohio, to assist
destitute soldiers, and their suffering families at
home throughout the Northern States.
III. We have no idea of making LOTTERY or
anything of the kind. Our agents will accept
as many honorary members as they can possibly
get, and the property will be afterwards given
to their order in proportion as stated in the Pro-
gramme, and all those honorary members may
then dispose of it, by selling it as they may
| choose.
| III. Rev. Andrew Herbstreitt, our General
| Manageran Chief Commissioner, has no interest
in the matter, moro than we have ourselves, only
to do something for the poor. Of all the loyal
States, of the Union. We elected him as a well
known man, of strict conscience, fidelity, ability
and great energy, worthy of all trust in every
respect.
w. We beg andrcquest the honorable General
Assembly to recommend this undertaking as
general benevolent Association for all loyal
States in general.
V. Other reasons for which we appeal to the
General Assembly, are-that we look upon this
assembly as an memorable body of delegates from
the people, and we have no doubt, but that each
and every one is willing to do all in his power
for the public welfare. And we do not believe
that n mere benevolent association ever before,
under such circumstances, appealed to the As
sembly, nor that mere open-handed or kinder
offer ever has been made and further, we think
it as loyal and patriotic an undertaking as can
be got up; and it would scarcely be Il crime to
denounce men who oppose it, as enemies to the
peoples welfare, as enemies of the soldier, and
enemies of the poor at home, and to be disloyal
and unpatriotic men.
We bind ourselves tostand firm, as nm honored
body, and to fulfil faithfully, every obligation
of the above named Association.
The Sanitary Military Union Home Aid As
sociation, is now preparing for large and cx
tensive Fair, or Exhibition, to be held at Wapa-
koneta Ohio to be opened on the Sd day of Oct. |
1864, and to be continued until the Goth of said |
month. No efforts will be spared to make this
Fair, ar Exhibition, success, and all possible
will be given to the contributors and |
visitors. The proceeds of the Fair, and all that
is realized by the admission of honorary mem
blrs, will be faithfully distributed as follows:
1st To all sick and wounded soldiers in the
Northern Armies, without distinction as to the
State as far as it may be needed; which will be
attended to by commissioners appointed by the
Association
ID. To the destitute families of soldiers in the
field, and to widows and orphans of soldiers,
who are in need of aid, in every city, town or
village throughout all the Northern States. As
there is no portion of our country where there is
not more or less suffering, and sometimes almost
starving families wa trust that all our noble Aid
Societies will continue their christian efforts for
HE assistance Of such poor. We cordially invite
