We feel satisfied that it Is only necessary to
make the above announcement, and that nc
words Of ours are needed to induce the people Of
the county to aid literally out Of their abun-
dance in contributing to the relief of the plague
smitten people of the South.
The Kind OF supplies to send are flour. bacon
potatoes, corned-bsef, and any kind Of dslica-
cies that will keep well, but country friends
will know better than we do, what kinds Of
supplies it Is better to contribute. ara
It IL better for the sufferers to send them sup,
plies than money, for in tie dire distress to
which they are reduced even money can not
procure the requisite necessaries for their relief
It is fearful to contemplate the sufferings to
which they are reduced In many places. The
groans of the dying and the cries for assistance
from the sick filling the air, the dead bodies Of
the victims lying for hours and days without
burial, the nurses and physicians either dead
or disabled by the fearful disease, and whole
towns deserted by all but few devoted souls,
call in the most powerful tones to tho people
Of more healthful regions for assistance. Let
all heed the cry as they would the suffering
voices of their own friends and relatives.
