ity.-f Cor. 1913.
We are informed that a number of
kind hearted. benevolent ladies rc~id-
ing in town ere about to form a relief
society, for the purpose of looking af-
ter the poor and sick during the pres
ent Winter. An effort will be made to
secure cooperation among those who
can lend their aid and contribute their
mite, in o;der that the work Of charity
will be more efficient and imposition
be rendered more difficult by those
who ask for assistance, but who really
do moi need the aid Of the society. 1t
is the intention of the members to
visit u county hospital and such
families as really need aid, alleviate
their distresses and do what Is in their
power &c remedy their sufferings and
privatiOns. T.iere are many now who
are out of employment. AS yet II
bitterness of extreme cold has not
been added to the tOrtures Of hunger,
which racks many Of the victims Of
this unfortunate condition of things;
still, the suffering is ''beyond the pow.
or Of pen TO picture;" some families
are without the barest necessities OF
life, and that where sickness exists the
suffering is exaggerated till it becomes
almost insupportable. We hope such
= society will I've organized and receive
prompt assistance from all who feel
able to help in the laudable enterprise.

Mind us that the hour of extreme suf-
fering is rapidly approaching, il no al
ready at hand. The appeal does not
come 100 soon. 1t is time for the
c~haritably disposed to be up and doing.
1t Is desirable that an efficient system
should be adopted by which death and
suffering may lie averted. 'True

freezing limbs OF a helpless child.
These are the cases with which charit-
able citizens will be called upon to
grapple in the approaching season OF
frost and snow, and 10 theories, how
ever pleasant and useful, should divert
their attention from the work.
"MUSIc HATH CHARMs."-At the
midnight hour last night tho sounds
of sweet music were waited through
the still air, produced by the Eureka
Brass Band, which was nut serenading
r aumber of the citizens. The SENTI-
L office was among the others COM
plimented. The band, under excellent
management, furnishes as fine music
a. could be desired on any occasion,
and deserves well tor the comnlendable
enterprise displayed by its memhers.
