stone, and climax of the Christian
Graces as their motto, and "Doing
Good as their end and aim.
The attendance was fully as large
as anticipated, and the enthusiasm,

encouraging, and augur well for the
success of the philanthropic work the
ladies have so earnestly undertaken.

There are special and cogent rea
sons this year for organized effort to
relieve distress, for while we have the
poor always with with us, yet want
and suffering exist this year 10 a
greater degree than ever before, ow-
ing to the almost total failure of crops.
Realizing that there was field for
labor, and that general and organ
lied effort was necessary in order to
completely and Systematically do the
work that must be promptly done, the
ladies have formed an organization,
elected officers, appointed committees,
and are to-day at work gathering,
sorting and mending the bedding and
clothing that has already been do
mated.
In order that there may be placed
at the disposal of the Relief Band the
necessary to meet the wants
and demands, we would urge upon
all citizens to contribute such articles
of bedding, clothing and the like that ;
can possibly be spared. Other sup /
plies, such as food and fuel can be :
used, and we would appeal to the {
generosity and charitableness of our
citizens throughout the entire county
to do all they can to aid the good
work. Relief measures must be
prompt, and as we have never APP :.
pealed to our generous people in vain,
we look for a ready and liberal re-
5ponse.
Cast off clothing, even if worn and
torn, can be used, and will be repaired {
if sent. Boots, shoes, stockings and
bedding all are needed. Please send
your donations to Stone & Dumble's
store, and they will be cared for and
received.
The officers and members desire to :
be notified of any and all cases of i,
restitution and suffering, and that
the entire county may be under sur
veillance, as it we're, the ladies invite .
the county commissioners to become.
honorary members of the association
and assist by suggestions and their
knowledge of people and their sur
in the intelligent distribu- I
ton of aid, to the end that the great t
est good may be done by extending s
help to the worthy needy ones, and t
preventing imposition. t
The next regular meeting of the Re {
lief Band occurs on Monday afternoon {
next at the parlors of The Morris at <
3 o'clock. AS all women desiring to i
aid in the objects of the society are {
eligible to membership, it is desired s
to have those interested present on {
that day, that they may unite in the |
good and much needed work. f;
