stock has been sold by the sheriff. The wo-
men and children bear pinched and meagre
faces. In many instances they are unpro-
vided with clothing with which to Withstand
the rigors of the winter.
''The railroads have done much to alleviate
the sufferings of the people from the extreme
cold by the gratuitous distribution of coal
where it has been needed. In many instances
the banks also have forborne to foreclose
mortgages out of sheer pity.

with a very liberal hand this winter in South
