A plna for tho DentItute.

A gentleman remarked to us the other
dav that Anderson should contribute some
thing to Gid the sufferers from the floods III
the West. We agree with him. These
moor. drowned. out people had not recover
ed from the effects of the floods of lastyear
and their condition is indeed deplorably
pitiablo one. The cry Of distress, desutu-
ton and suffering comes from every quarter
Of the inundated country. Philanthropis's
from eyery section are sending in their con-
tributions, but the supply of charit'es 10
mot eoual to the demands. Our section OF
country has never had such calamity 70
befall it, and az a consequences our people
cannot really realize the Impoverished con-
dition of these people, not to say anyth'ps
Of their sufferings. We have always Deeh
b,essed with comparative happiness, pros
perity and health, free from oil plaques
nestilence and floods, and it behooVes US
IN return for these blessings. to contribute
,;hara,lv to tho wants of these destitute
noonle It ia duty We owe to our ieliow-
man as we'll as to the Giver OF all Gooo.
I.t us not display selfish spirit. we ttus'
that aome one will take the matter IN manu.
call nnon our citizens and forward a iloera,
ann to these sufferers. Lot it not % sa,u
that Anderson did not contribute sins'e
dollar to relieve these poor people. Vint. ha;t
towna and cities have cnhtt'ou'eu
,,;ta. why not Anderson
