Eeiiosr Citizens Of Cedar County:
While Iowa has opened her heart
and hand to the unfortunate in other
states and countries, we come to re- |
mind you that certain portions Of Our
own fair State have also been visited
BIZ direful and distressing calamity
that in your sympathy for others the
sufferers within our own borders may
not be forgotten.
The people. Of Palo Alto county,
whom we represent, have, together
with those Of adjoining counties,
suffered the devastation of their
fields by countless millions of grass
hoppers for two years in succession
The result is as might be expected
where the country is new and many
hsd inyes ed their all in removal and
settlement. depending on the coming
harvest, which, alas. many Of them
never realized-that hundreds are
left without adequate shelter, iood
or clothing to sustain life or health
through The seventies OF a cold north
ern winter, such rs has now settled
down upon MS.
Taking an interest net only in oul
citizens, but also in the welfare o.
our Stale and feeling pride in bel
prosperity, those who were able, and
some who were scarcely 50, have
given their time, labor and money &c
aid and encourage cur people 10 cling
10 their homes, thus far With good
Success
Eut feeling the burden too heavy
to bear alone and deeming il better
10 ask aid within our own State. than
from others, as was done before, we
now come for assistance 10 our more
fortunate sister counties, feeling con.
fdent thar they viii not be deaf &c
our appeal.
Let farmers who have been blesi
with abundant harvests, and those
who have been successful in business
as they gather around their cosy fire.
sides, and look upon their little ones.
think Of those who suffer cold and
hunger in cabins that are bnt half Q
shelter. and each, in ,hankfullness fol
the blessings kind heaven has grant
ed them, render little aid for the
unfortunate. Thus will you secure
the lasting gratitude Of worthy and
industrious people, who suffer through
no fault of their own, and help them
to hold their homes in a country
which will soon with its various lines
Unprotected railroads, become socially
nearer 10 you, and contribute to the
prosperity Of their sister counties,
which now send them aid.
Committees will be appointed II
