CHARITY CONCERT CHIMES.
s.Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread"

TIE charity concert half way promised
in last Sundays EAGLE is an assured
thing, as will be seen from the brief note
below A number of the sweet singers
and expert musicians. together with spt-
cialists along lines that can be happily
utilized in rendering such an entertain
ment profitable and delightful, have IN the
most cordial spirit offered their services,
among them Professor Shaw's full orches-
ira. The tickets are being printed and
will be on sale at the Main street drug
store of Or ane g. Dyer. Mr.. Kramer has
consented to act as treasurer and Mr..
Ozane as secretary, and the gentlemen
ramed in the note below will constitute
managing and consulting COMMITTEES TO
designate where and TO whom the money
shall go.
Neither Mrs. Walden nor any OF her
assistants will accept cent for their time
and talents. There is no reason why such
broad and unselfish tribute should not
prove the grandest charity Offering ever
witnessed in the state This band of un.
selfish coadjutors, and she who is working
almost night and day that something
may be done to alleviate the woe OF pinch
ing penuery that is coming to the innocent
and helpless, should be met in like
spirit of sacrifice by the public. Bat it
can hardly be called a sacrifice. More
than the moneys worth will be given, not
only in the delig hts of the entertainment
itself, but in beholding the sea of faces OF

fortunes, packing pit, balcony and gallery

presence will mean just so much for the
destitute and deserving poor. The pelting
and pitiless storm may beat and rave with

Want is bitter and hateful
but charity is sweet and heavenlike. The
price of one single ticket will buy not a
few loaves of bread and fuel for her who
tremblingly lights her scanty stock OF
brushwood to cook the last morsel. There

this offer. There are more comfortably
Fl xed people in a community the size OF
this who have themselves felt the lashings
of penury than one dreams OF, and all
such will help with voice and work and
with their presence to roll up huge pile
of golden dollars for food where meals are
scanty and faces pale. Such cause is
wider than sect or circle, it is rs broad as
humanity itself and akin to God. The
following is Mrs. Walden's note referred
to above:
