weather OF the past two weeks, there
is unusual restitution and suffering
among the poor people of the town,
Derkleys only benevolent institu
ton, the Kings Daughters, have
labored hard and INCREASINGLY. and,
with the limited means at their com
mand, have releayed many cases of
absolute distress. They have now
reached the end of their resources,
ana make an appeal to the Town
Council for help. The Council is
unable to assist them, there being
~ moneJ III the Town treasury, and
the only way they can procure
funds for the purchase OF suppnes. is
by individual contributions from the
people OF the town.
The ladies' of the society report
That they find number OF families
who have neither food nor fuel. and
that the need for relief in many
worthy cases which they have inves
gated ls SO urgent that there is no
time to make house to house can.
Vass for contributions. Under these
circumstances it has therefore been
deemed advisable TO call q mass
meeting OF the people of the town
IN order that the necessary finds
may be raised at once. The Market
Hall has been rendered for that
purpose and the meeting will be
Aeld this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
