''We the Officers of the Southern Orphans
Association, for the maintenance and education
of the destitute orphans of deceased Southern
soldiers and Sailors earnestly solicit the sympathy
and cooperation in our
GRAND PRESENTATION CONCERT,
of all who desire to see the

Thanking our friends for their past cOntribu-

help us in more extensive enterprise 1t is the
design of this Association to erect a
"HOME A Nd SCH TOOL"
for the orphans of the South, both male and fe-
male, on an extensive scale, in the city of Rich
mond, Virginia. AS an inducement to have the
building located there, the Common Council OF
that city have guaranteed a sufficient lot of land,
in an elevated and healthful location, and will
increase the quantity of land if needed.
1t is with confident hope in favorable res

yet failed to sustain charitable intuition, that
we have entered into an arrangement with Messrs.

1t may seem unnecessary to add a single word
to the above address, but calls upon the Institu-
ton have been so numerous and pressing, and the
struggle through which it is now passing to wi
den the circle of its charities is of such an ardu-
Gus nature that the management cannot too
strongly urge upon the
Humane and sympathetic
everywhere, an active participation in this addi-
great numbers of helpless children, rendered
thus by the terrible war through which we have
passed. And assuredly, whatever may have been
the relative political views of ladies and gentle
men heretofore, all must agree that the children
referred to. could not, by any possibility, have
had any agency in bringing about their present
Deplorabte and Destitute Condition,
and are suitable objects for the charity of all per-
sons of whatever shade of political opinion. The
"HOME AND SCH 1901"
lish and endow, will be of incalcuabe benefit by
providing not only food and raiment for these
helpless ones, but likewise solid and thorough ed
ucation, thus qualifying them for
Future Usefulness to Society at Large.

enllstlng the active interest and cooperation OF
all classes of persons everywhere, we have con-
Guided to issue for the
