the poor during the bad weather Many
families were found in destitute circum-
stances, the severe weather having kept
them housed and prevented them from
work. The city council issued circular
appealing to our citizens for contributions
to be left with Aldermen T. W. Read and
j. W. Hardeman. Mayor holland and
Alderman Read, also waited on our citi-
zens in person and secured donations.
Many citizens bestowed in person chari-
ties to some who appealed to them for
help. All ia all the suffering poor were
helped to tide over the cold spell. Mar
shat Moon says the fund raised was nearly
$1,000 in money, wood and provisions
and distributed to needy women and chill,
dren, the aged and the sick. He estl-
mates from the record he kept of those
receiving help that 700 mouths were ted
by the fund raised and other contributions.
He gave orders to Mr.. j. W. Hardeman
and he sold the provisions at actual cost
Mr. I. W. Glover also made up fund of
SCI 70 and distributed provisions and
wood to 70 families. There were other
assistance extended to needy persons by
some of our citizens who did not say any~
thing about it.

Mr. John I. Pace, OF Smyrna recently
in getting out some cord wood, near Con-
cord in this county, came across a minnie
ball that had been shot into q tree dur,
ing the war, thirty years ago. The ball
was imbedded in the tree to the depth of
nine inches, a new growth of the tree hav>
ing completely covered it. The most re-
markable thing about it is that piece of
the paper of the cartridge. was still wrapped
around the ball, perfectly sound and with.
out the least touch of decay. The preser>
walton of this piece of paper from the
corroding tooth Of time, is doubtless due
to the fact that it was not exposed to the
weather, but was sufficiently embedded to
protect it. The battered ball and paper
have been left at this office.
