THE SOLDIERS HOME.

The Raleigh Evening Visitor a y
We are glad to know that contributions
continue to come in for this noble insti-
tuition, although by no means in accord
ance with its deserts. We would like to
see ONE grand effort put forward in the
direction of making it a permanently en-
dowed charity. 1t is far from being a
credit to the state to have an asylum for
our noble ex-Confederates in a anguish
ing condition. Many schemes have oeen
devised for aiding the home, but all of
them appear to be of a local character, or
nearly SO, 1t is an institution that should
not appeal to the aid of any section of
North Carolina. 1t becomes the people
of our state of all portions to aid in it's
comfort. This should be done, and it
should not be done in a grudging man
ner. The touching and beautiful allu-
sions of Col. j. S. CARR, in his speech at
the exposition grounds. should appeal to
the sympathies of all. The old soldiers,
in the nature of things, cannot be long
with us. the scythe of "old Father Time"
will 0 cut them off, and it becomes US
to at least smooth their pathways to the
grave.
The closing festival of the year will
soon be upon US, and we hope that some
method during the time may be devised
for increasing the funds of the home.
How would it do to get up a grand fair
for its benefit? If this will not do, then
we hope that some other suggestion may
be made likely to accrue to the benefit of
the cause. We are open to suggestions.
