Relief for Charleston Suggested.

EDS. RECORD UNION Sacramento has in
the past few weeks won the proud title of
the "Hospitable City," and at no time have
the citizens of the city been last or least in
offering aid and comfort to those in need,
even to those of distant lands. Charleston
lies PROSTATE, her houses are in ruins; her
people hunger for food, and their cry for
help has reached our ears. Shall we leave
their cry unheeded? Or shall we do as we
have done in the past, and do whatever we
can to relieve the distressed? Now is the
time for the Hospitality Committee to go
to work again and supplement the good
work of few weeks ago. CITIZEN.
