Kentucky:
The town of Parkland, a suburb of Louisville
but an independent corporation, suffered as
much in the recent tornado, IN proportion tc
population and relative value of property. a.
that city. The town consists of suburban resi-
dences not millionaires or retired capitalists
but OF men in moderate circumstances, many o.
whom are wholly unable to bear the loss thai
has fallen upon them. Their pleasant little
homes were the savings of years, and are now
swept away, leaving them homeless nearly
naked in some instances, and without means Il
repair the damages. Louisville has suffered tot
severely herself TO render assistance to any out
side of her own corporation. Her loss will ex
tend into millions ours, with about a thou
sand Inhabitants, will aggregate at least 500,
900. We cannot bear it without aid. Any con
tributions sent to the undersigned committee, o
which the Mayor of Parkland is Chairman. will
be most thankfully received and judiciousll
distributed. We must have assistance or suffe
severely in many instances and the sooner W,
get it the better il will be for our homeless citi
zens and the sooner we can provide for them
The only thing we need is money TO repair ou
homes and replace the clothing and furnitur
of those not able to bear their losses.
