lows: Mr.. Cromer was going home, and when
about three miles from town, some masked

THE LADIES' FUEL SOCIETY.
A Christmas Appeal.

For years the Ladies' Fuel Society OF Char
ton has been engaged in administering to the
relief of the suffering poor of our city, during
the cold and inclemency of winter. The fur
nishing of wood at halfprice to those whose
limited means of support would otherwise
debar them from 80 necessary a comfort in
severe weather, and the bestowlng 1t as gra-
tuity upon such as are wholly without ability
to pay for it, is labor of love in which every
benevolent heart must sympathize; nor has
the society had cause to complain of any want
Of readiness on the part Of the community to
contribute to their funds, whenever special
appeal has been made to their charity. With
the growing population of the city, however,
the demand upon the society has very largely
increased, while the uncertainty and Irregular
ity OF special donations has caused huctuatlon
in the treasury, which has often been embar-
RAISING.
Therefore, although the ladies are truly
grateful for the generous aid which they have
from time TO time received In this way-with-
out which they would have been compelled to
turn q deaf ear to very many Of the applica-
tions coming to them from the abodes of
poverty aud sickness-they yet feel con-
strained to solicit from the citizens generally
more systematic and sustained effort in their
behalf. The object of the present appeal is to
ask especially for annual subscriptions.
It's to be regretted that in society en-
bracing all classes and denominations of the
community, having in view an object In which
every benevolent person can heartily unite,
and where only the small sum OF two dollars
annually Is required, there should be found
such limited number of regular subscribers
1t surely can only be from the want of atten-
tion 10 the claims of go excellent an organiza-
tion that this can arise. The ladies, therefore,
take this opportunity, earnestly and respect.
fully, to solicit, In addition to the occasional
contributions and generous donations which
have from year to year go greatly aided them,
that greater number of individuals would
enrol themselves as regular annual SUBJ
scribers. Thus shall the society obtain more
permanent income. and, as the result, will be
enabled to be more liberal with the fuel, and
to lengthen the period of Its operations In
view of o late spring.
