Friday Messrs. L. T. Heritage and J..
III. Griffith went out in the country and
notified the parties on the relief commit

for aid, and all responded. The clothing
and other goods at the relief depot were

who had not received any, and the res
pectIVe yards donated her 80 worth each.
The precautions taken to ascertain who
most needed aid, enabled the distribution
to be made so that we believe it is abso-
lutely certain that none received aid who
were not entitled to and did not absolute
ly need all and much more than they re-
ceived. Some 81 families in all were
placed on the list. Some drew only lum-
Der, some had no lumber, most had cloth
ing, bedding, provisions, and other
household goods. The city did very well.

As q matter Of course, there is no occa-
sion Of publishing the names OF those
who received aid, but all who desire to
ascertain exactly what became of the
contributions, can ascertain by calling at
this office, where the list of contributions
and disbursements has been left for in
spection. The accounts are perfectly
clear, and show that the committee did
its work with all possible prOmptness.
and in a spirit of perfect fairness to the
best of its ability and judgment.
