other way, with the choicest household |
treasures in their arms and on their backs |
It is sstinsted tGat at least one hundred |
thousand people are homeless and in a
suffering condition. The streets in the |
districts unburned are lined for miles |
With such household goods as have been
saved from destruction.
The most generous offers of assistance |
in money, food, or snything wanted, are |
coming from every city snd town pOssi- |

BROWNSVILLE, TENN, Oct. Z, 1871.
A very interesting baby show took place
on Friday. The APPEAL was honored by
being selected as one of a committee to
decide upon the merits of the little ones.
You ask how. answer, by me to repre-
sent you on that occasion. Being one OF
six widowers selected, l could not but sp-
prsciate the honor Conferred. Thirteen
babies, all under nine months old, were
exhibited, and, after much deliberation,
the premium, q fine cook-stove, was
awarded 70 the fortunate youngster. The
fair closes this evening. The two first
days the attendance wss rather small, but
since that time the crowd has been very
considerable. Cotton Is coming in freely
and commanding good prices-lSH 70
1SZ cents. Business has revived cOnsid-
eraDly and large trade Is anticipated by
the merchants.
