THE WORK OF RELIEF,
For the Flood Sufferers Ceasing as
the Necessities are Disappearing.

1t is with feeling of satisfaction tha
we are enabled to announce that the NJ
; cesSities for relief, at least in our neigh
boring towns, are growing less. and thu
the committees generally are annOun
cling that they have enough. at least sc
far as present needs are concerned. Al
thous h the demand was very great, this
announcement is not strange, consider
ing with what general prOmptness the
call for help was answered oy Govern
ment. State and individual donations.
At Beilaire. besides about $4,000 of d
local cOntrihut on. the Government au-
thOrized the expending of $500 for
supplies, and they got $500 in cash from
| the State appropriation; Bridgeport got
$1,000 of the Government and $500 Of
the State appropriation. Martins Ferry
got $1,000 of the Government and $500
of the state; and to these sums must be
| added the large donations so generously
contributed by the com mittees in almost
every town and village of this State and
other States, in provisions, clothing and
money.
As early as Monday morning, when
the agent Cf the Government visited
Wheeling. the committee at that place
sent forth the word that with their al
lOTance from that fund, they could get
along without further outside relief
Word was also sent out from Bridge
port that the work of relief at that point
was practically ended, so far as needs at
present were concerned, and on rueSdav
morning word was sent ont the c., l.. &
w. road, to withhold goods and provis-
ions at least for the present,as there was
a superabundance-t amount now in
the hands of the committee there being
S4.l5O.
From Martins Ferry comes the word
that they are now, with what has already
been so generously provided, ab to take
care of themselves. AT Bellaire. the
situation was somewhat worse tnan dt
the other places mentioned, yet the |
work of the relief committees has been
so systematiZed. that all have been prop
erly cared for, and many are getting
back into their homes andigoing To work,
which makes the demands daily less
Besides, Belaire has been more spoken
of abroad. and has been the recipient of
a larger proportion OF supplies; from
which they have also assisted both
West Wheeling and Benwood.
10 sum up, 1t seems that for the pres
ent all our unfortunate neighbors are as
well provided for as is possible under
the circumstances, and it is probable
that by The time the supplies and money
now in the hands of the committees
are used, that the manufactures will be
in full blast, the houses repaired and
replaced, and the usual even tenor of
way resumed in the different villages,
and all necessities removed. If there
should be a further need, there will be
as generous response when present
supplies are gone, as there was in the
start. From the hearts of liberal peo-
pie, there can be but one answer to the
cry of hunger from fellow man, and
hat will be, as it has been, relief in any
shape and form that is needed, only
limited by our own capabilities
