AN APPEAL FOR THE POOR OF THE CITY


The Relief Committee Of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association is i'll need of funds to carry On the
philanthropic labors through which it has been en-
abled to contribute 50 much 10 the support OF SOL
diers families and other needy persons during the
existence of long and desolating war. We hope
the appeal to the lberality Of our citizens will not
be made Ill vain 1t is true, the spirit of benevo-
lenee has been widely diffused, and many, of their
abundance, have given generously, even avishly to
sustain the noble purposes Of the Association but
more remains to be done and i'll the present euer-
gency none must tighten their purse strings. The
rigors Of winter close upon us, and articles of
subsistence are already advancing in price. The
poor must be supplied with fuel and provisions and
especially the families of those who are in the field
battling for their country. An appeal is also
made to the farmers i'll the neghboring counties to
contribute provisions all expenses on which will he
paid by the committee. If they will second the
HberahtN displayed by the citizens of Richmond
there will be no danger OF starvation serious suf
feTing. Any farmer might contribute few bushels
Of corn weekly monthly without greatly en-
croaching upon his supplies, and We trust some pa
trlotic citizens iii every agricultural community will
take the work in hand and inaugurate a system
through which the desired object may be attained.
Indeed, we have every confidence that the appeal
will meet with generous response, and that men
will be found in every county ready to share their
abundance with those who have none, and who
have through the necessities Of the country, been
deprived Of their natural protectors and guardians
