To THE CITIZENS OF KEoKuk There was
call made to those interested in the cause Of
the suffering soldiers and their families, at
Library Hall yesterday Tuesday, afternoon,
ard it was coucladed that the best mean, for
raising funds would be BY subscription.
1t was 6rst thought that festival would be
a good plan, but after fully discussing the
subject, and taking into consideration the fact
that there wcnld be two entertainments given
the coming week, they we're convinced that
our citizens would have enough Of "festivals, !"
and would give generously for the pleasure OF
remaining at home (for if the festival had
been the m cans adonted for raising the money
required, they would have considered ii their
duty to at,end).
Committees were appointed in each Ward,
who will call upon our citizens to help in the
cause.
Gentlemen, whose places Of business are
beyond the reach of canvassing parties, will +,
please remember that their wives, who re.
main at hem-, can hand over the sum they |
desire to contribute 10 the committee.
Those who fear they may not be called |
upon in this good cause, may leave their con
tributions at Ed. S. Carter l. Co.'S book :
store, where they will find general list I. |
10 unnecessary 10 urge our citizens 10 be l;b.
era in their donations. The past speaks for
the future.
Never has an appeal been made for our
soldiers in vain, and surely the soldiers, or
phans will not be forgo tenl Several nov
are waiting to be clad and for money to he |
raised to send them to the Orphans Home.
Open your purse strings, and b. thankful
that you are able to DO this much for the d;s.
abled defenders Of our country, their wives
and their little ones. The soldiers ornhans
are egaeies left you; you will care for them
10 remembrance of their fathers sacrifice.
