Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-05-24
TENNESSEE ORPHAN AsYLuM.
To the Humane Throughout the state

The undersigned, pastors Of the
churches of GAINESVILLE, beg leave to
submit the following statement and
appeal:
There are now assembled in the
Asylum near our city, sixty orphan
children of Confederate soldiers, and
applications now on file will soon in
crease this number TO seventy or sew
enty-6ve. 1t requires no small sum
Of money to provide daily food for the
sons and daughters of our departed
braves. Unhappily, the current in
come has not been equal to the currenA
expenses, and should this state dr
things continue serious difficulty must
be experienced in conducting the in
stitution. Unless, therefore, larger
contributions be made by auxiliary
societies or by benevolent individuals
there may result no small distress
among the Observation-Disclosures in
immediate charge of the asylum. We
say ''thOse in immediate charge" for
the Asylum is really, IN a wider and
truer sense, the charge of the entire
people of the State. These orphans
are the rards Of the people. Let the
people see that they are not dishon-
Ored in this sacred trust.
The Press of Tennessee will confer a
favor by calling public attention to the
important cause.
