AMONG THE POOR.
The Home of the Fr1endless-
Charity Notes.

A DALOO reporter ID ace aQOtler call al the
home yesterda, hut found the place yet in
partial slate OIL prePara ion, and owing to
the confusion incident to such affairs, but
little information of satisfactory nature
could be CLEANED.
The building itself is a two-st1ry frame
OF substantial construction, containing ten
rooms and a number of closets aud pantries,
and is in the main we'll adapted to the pur-
poses for which it is to be occupied.
Quite large amount OF donations, con-
sistIng of groceries, dry goods, clio hing,
beds, bedding and furniture, have been re-
ceived, and the reception room has been
handsomely carpeted and furnished and
the other rooms have been cleaned and
scrubbed and are partially furnished, the
kitchen being fully supplied. The only
occupants regularly admitted at the time of
the reporters visit was
MRS. DYER
and her three children, Willie, Msude and
Eddie. Though there was several other
applicants Who had cslled by order of the
manager, and who we're anxiously waiting
hereoming. That the home will be full to
OVERLOOKING in a very short time is quite
evident. The intention so far as could be
CLEANED is TO give the occupants separate
rooms; and the home being Under the
charge of a natron and a rigid discipline.
TIE women who are able 10 do so vii be
allowed to go ont and work during the day
and their children will be cared for. In
this way il is believed the home can soon
be made self sustaining institution and
al the same time afford thu b.ss means for
comfort, culture ard refinement to those
otherwise unable to provide for themselye".
That it is move in the right direction and
one that is heartily appreci atsd is best
evi erc,d by the liberal support extended
10 il by the charitable people of Sedalis.
As tefore stated il is at present impossible
10 give q corrent list of
THE DONATIONS
msde, but smcpg them the reporter learn
ei of the following not heretofore MEL
toned:

-four and meal and a quantity of butter.

There are numerous other don atoms
without the names Of the donors, and IL IS
thought from the manner In which gifts are
flowing in, The home will soon be fully
supplied. As yet there is lack OF beds,
bedding, CHAMBER furniture and chairs and
small tables, but these will be supplied the
coming week. Mrs. Poe, the mstror, seems
TO be q very practical and even tempered
woman, and is fast putting matters into
good shape.

The Home of the Friendlsss next Tuesday
afternoon,

ously for the home of the friendless, as

CANT hanging lamI; G. c. Taylor, clock;

olent societies of the city and with those
