of the ladies OF members of Congress and others
sojourning in the District The ara,ls of the ball
are TO Be appropriated for the benefit of the fori-
lies Of ne soldiers Of the District Of Columbia noac
ifs the held.
Between thirty and forty thousand dollars,
contributed by our generous citizens, has been
paid ont during the past two winters for this
noble purpose, and NO way is seen by the COM
mittee charged with the disbursement of this
fund, by which it can be made sufficient to
meet the future demands upon it so readily as
oy the patronage OF our good people, whose
homes and flresides are now being defended by
their brave fellow citizens in the field, whose
suffering families are left ut home The price
OF a ticket is fire dollars. Is there man OF any
means amongst us, with soul in his bosom
and spark OF patriotism in his organizations
who Will not contribute this trife foF the pur.
pose of carrying com fort into the starving and
freezing family OF soma poor soldier who is
away lighting for the salvation OF our common
country! 1t is to be hoped not.
We implCre all our fellow citizens who can
possibly afford it, not to let this opportunity
pass OF making this small contribution for so
good Il purpose. Five dollars paid nolc, will
probably save 10 many a wealthy citizen the
contribution OF ten times that sum hereafter,
Tor we take 1t to be foregone conclusion that
the families of or brave soldiers are not to be
suffSr Let ha1 hp a
grand success!
