! TO the people Of Red Wing! Gov.
Pillsbury has called on all good citizens
to contribute to the relief Of the Door
and suffering in the grasshopper section
Of Minnesota. The destitution among
the settlers in those regions is greater
than is generally supposed. In some
neighborhoods the crops have been. de.
stroyed for four successive years. Many
Of these people are now absolutely suf.
fering for want Of food and clothing,
and if not promptly helped, death from
cold and starvation must, in many cases,
result. Anything and everything il
wanted money, provisions, bedding and
clothing-of all sorts, new or old.

call upon each Of you to explain thi,
subject more fully, and on Monday, Jan

| tribution; please have it ready! II, fo,
