DESERVING OF SUPPORT.

h Children's Home in G~reenvilie, es-
tablished 50 years ago is one of the most
deserving Institutions in the State of its

up its good work in caring for all the
children who came to it for shelter,
without running into debt, but, in that
year, when the hard times came upon
the country, subscriptions n dona-
items to the place began to fall off, until
they decreased to such an extent that it
vas necessary to run into debt to secure
Inc necessary articles to properly take
care OF the some forty ode orphans who
were IN the home at that time.
Since the home has increased It's en-
rciinent to about fifty orphans and its
debt to 1850. To increase the enrolment
Or children, and to reduce the debt the
Board of Directors and Board of Domes-
nc Control have issued the following cir
