made possible for the Board to reach
this class of children, by the monthly
subscriptions of the people of the town.
The County has generously helped
us to pay our rent for two wears, but
it lea res part to be provided for,
together with matron's saleries wood
and coal and numerous incidental
expenses necessary to the maintaining
oil this Home. So while the Board
fully appreciates all that the Co. has
done and is doing, it looks to the
monthly subscriptions ofthe churches
and societies to help it do a work the
County can not at present provide
for.
We beg you not only give US of
your means, but help us try to per-
suade these young girls who beg from
house to house day after day, that
there is dignity in being able to do
house work properly and that it is
degrading to depend upon charity
when the opportunity is offered them
to fit themselves for life oil
usefulness.

for The past year will show an average
of less than SIC per month. The
QUESTION naturally arises, how has the
Home been maintained? Had it not
been for the sympathy and hearty CO.
operation Of our Co Court, Blount
Co. Industrial Home mustlong since
have closed its doors. On April I.
1894 petition was presented asking
ths Court to transfer all children then
in the Asylum for the Poor, to our
care, making US the same allowance
the Supt. received viz 81. per week
for beard for each child and the
county clothes. This was granted,
the children transferred, and ever
since all children who would be other
wise be sent there are sent to the
Home. When we say the County
clothes its children, and then tell you

lISo7 showed an average expense of
"a cents per month fore each child
fer clothes or, $a.64 for one year,
yea syho have seen them at Sunday
School with their nice dresses, warm
cloths, pretty hats and good shoes,
will wonder how we made the average
so small. If you would come with
US to the Home and look over oul
list Of donations" you would un
derstand it is made possible only b,
the noble generosity Of the women o
Maryville and vicinity. Scarcely ;
woek passes but sosae bundle comes
in perhaps marked "carpet rags" ant
many donors would be surprised tc
know how many neat little garment
are made from these same "carpe
rags" Shoes, stockings, dresses
hats-in fact every thing in the wa,
of clothing has been donated
until the children have bee
sent out looking neat and comfortabl
and not penny pasd out for thei
AtSunday clothes. " The every day col
ton aprons and dresses and heave

The Board would like to than
each women personlly, but the list
too long, and we must content ou
selves with saying, every act of klnc
ness has been noted and appreciate
and every donation made the yer
best possible use of.
