The crying want for food in some
parts of this State, calls for help
Though times are dull here, yet our
people are in want of nothing, and
we know they willnot let men, women
and children die in our State without
an effort to relieve them. The citizens
should have a public meeting, and
see what can be done, and do itquickly.
Since writing the above the
Wheeling Inteuigesscer has made care
full inquiry in the afflicted counties,
and finds that there is no need of out
side assistance for the present
Spring has opened which in itself is a
relief to the suffering. Another great
want felt is for something to plant
and many have not cent In the
world and no way of getting seed for
garden or farm. Farmers should
learn by the experience in those coun-
ties, to save up every scrap of fodder
and provisions possible in the fall, for
long and hard winter towards spring
soon consumes everything in the barn
and cellar, and want comes at a time
of year when it is hard to get feed OF
provisions, even at high prices, and
nothing for the poorer classes to turn
into money to get anything. Better
to haye q lot over than not to have
quite enough for man or beast until
the earth produces again.
