MEssRs. EDITORS The Fair just held IL this
CITY, " for the benefit of the sufferers of the South
has been splendid success.
More than one hundred thousand dollars have
been realized and this sum is daily being in
creased by contributions from other cities and
counties.
The managers desire to distribute this fund
among such persons, in the different States, as
have been rendered positively destitute by the
war giving the preference to disabled soldiers,
and to widows and orphans.
With the hope of rendering some service to the
afflicted citizens of my native State, take this
method of stating to the public that it will afford
me pleasure to present to the proper authorities all
applications for assistance which may be forward
ed to me at this place.
Numerous applications have already been re-
ceived from other States, and it is earnestly to be
hoped that the people of North Carolina will not
be backward in accepting a bounty which is so
generously offered, and SO justly merited.
Please call attention to this proposition.
Your ob't. serv't.,
