provide good sized family for week,
and she wouldn't allow her name to be
used. But the whole TINES Office fell
in love with her for she was as beauti-
full as she was generous.
Then came oshers bearing gifts. An
other lady brought flour, buckwheat,
beans and potatoes.
Brugh & Meadows, the Jefferson
street grocers. sent delivery wagon
with load of meal, flour, bacon, tea,
oatmeal, salt, soap, rice, soda, hominy,
beans and white sugar.
Several other contributions came in
during the day in cl othes and provis-
ions.
