Kate Power's review., 1894-12-08

mas box. for the little ones Of the Protes-
tant Asylum, at Natchez, and solicits
most earnestly. the aid Of our people par
ticularly the happy children.
She wishes 10 send them warm clothing,
good food. and some of the luxuries that
are ~ much 10 them
There is no reason why these children
should not b. made bclive that the dear
old santa does, indeed, keep head quarters
here And we believe that our people
will give reason for this faith. More gen
crous people do not live anywhere, than
the people of this town. The editor of the
REVIEW has Just within this week seen
this demonstrated. and has noted the over
nowing sympathy and generous impulses,
not only Of the women and children, but
Of men who do not wear their hearts on
+ their sleeves 4 barrel of potatoes, "A
bushel of peanuts, u firkin OF butter, does
not mean very much to those who send
them, but II means life, Derhaps-certain-
+ ly, pleasure, 10 these children. 4 few
yards Of flannel bolt Of cotton, shoes,
+ hose aud gloves take little from the mer-
chants stock. but save from winters cold,
/ these tender bodies. 4 barrel Of flour, n
kcg of sugar Il sack of grits is not missed
+ from the heavy stock Of groceries, but
will save from hunger many days, the
orphan children.
+ And the extra doll baby that little
=
only one or two dishes are broken, but of
which your little ones have tired, will be
as richest Jewels In the eyes that rarely
/ see such things
But better than all these things from
/ the fathers and mothers, and infinitely
I better than the cast of toys, would ii be,
+ If each little child In the State were
/ taught the beautiful lesson Of self-denial
/ this Christmas, and should send, Of its
own free will, Il little Of its Christina
money to buy needed things the for child
rcn.
