our last years calamity to rebuild and retit
their little homes for habitation, aud had
enjoyed the poor privilege of l;v IN them

Then the storm, with all its terrors, came
to add untold misery. We arc doing all in
our power to relieve immediate wants in
the way Of food, but wha, these people will
most need when tue food subsidies IS mon.
