The National tribune., 1885-10-08

has placed a new CARPET on G. AR Hall, with red,
white, and blue bunting curtains at the windows,
and also acknowledges 500 for relief fund Now.
the impression one would get from the reading of
the article is that the Corps had purchased and
paid for the carpet besides the 500. The 500 re-
lief fund he speaks of was given to us from the
Relief Corps last January, but not relief fund.
The carpet was purchased and paid for out of this
$780, This money has been acknowledged several
times through the press SO the impression IS that
we have received more than the 500, which is n
mistake. We have received great deal of money
from our patriotic citizens TO help us in our work
of charity, it is best to give correct statement
of our moneyed affairs.
