UNCLE JOHN DEAN EXPLAINS.
DEAR C. G. FRIENDS All of you who so nobiy
aided me year ago in getting the invalid chair
will want TO know what disposition made of the
amount left. After buying the chair had s25. %
left. With $3.50 of this had a group taken of the
Michigan Guards. which for sale at 80 cents
each for the benefit of the fund The pictures
sx10 and contain the photographs Of Julius w.
Gogarn Alice Hilliker Nellie Kinds, and my wife
and SELF That left me SlS.68. i had the Oscar
G. Pierson hand. reported it fayorably,
but, alas. the letter mscarried and never reached
the Editor for publication. SO when in September
last received another call. decided to investi-
gate the case, and if worthy to apply the money,
the G. c.. in writing told me to use the money
rs s,w fit. This was the case of Dr. II. w. Browne,
Surgeon of the 3lst Mass, cripple and sufferer,
and in great need of u wheel chair The man
ceived II pension of SIT per month and with that
supported family of six, besides his medical at
tention, which he had to mortgage his little home
to pay, and which re will lose. Mrs. Browne wrote
that they would try to pay for the chair little
at time but wrote her not to distress herself
about it. There is still a balance due the chair
which pray may be made up. Cripple Mother,
grand woman. sent me 81. She has very little her.
self and is a foreigner by BIRTH but she always is
the first to help others. God bless her!
ANOTHER WORTHY CASE.
Oscar C. Pierson, of Haeyville, N. j.. is a great
sufferer from rheumatism. He has lain on his back
for four years. and cannot move, as his limbs are
ali drawn up and the joints ossified except one
hand and arm. Now he wants a water-bed the
cost of which is $50. He has succeeded in raising
SIS. and can get discount Of 20 per cent on it.
This case requires immediate attention. Open
your hearts and your purses and help this worthy
soul. have af1davits to his character
and condition. Dear &. G. friends, help me you
did before and receive the that it is
blessed 10 give than receive.
Another needy case is that of Comrade Edward
Il. Adams. of Troy, n. H. n paralyzed invalid. He
has whatever of one side and cannot get
out. 1 want him to have q chair. so that when the
Spring buds blossom he can get out and breathe
Gods pure air
All OF these cases are submitted to your thought
full consideration, with prayer that you will not
say no. The reports will be printed from time to
time in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. Loyaliy-Uncle
