Sociation yesterday was greater
than on any day this winter.
Over 200 persons applied for re-
lief and not one was undeSe rv
ing. They needed food, fuel
and clothing. There is Il scare
ity of wearing apparel of every
description at the store rooms
of the Provident Association,
and Manager Flnney says that
unless the supply is replenished
there will be great suffering
during the cold snap. He re-
quests that generous citizens
contribute clothing. especially
overco cats and warm underwear,
as speedily as possible. The
donations should b. sent to the
new home Of the Provident As

This will be an exceedingly
hard winter" said Manager
Fiuuey yesterday. AS many
people are out of work as there
were last year. Skilled me-
chanics and artisans of every
description apply here every
day for work, that they may
earn the necessities of life. EX-

clerks come here in great num-
bers and offer TO do manual
labor for simply their clothes

these men personally and know
that they are honest and efficient
in their lines. It is distressing
to contemplate SO much need
and suffering. We are doing
our best to relieve the distress

Manager Finney has received
word from w. j. Rouse and Il.
F. Hixson of the Monroe City |
Democrat that the citizens of
Monroe aud the farmers of the |
adjacent country will conduct
a grand rabbit hunt on Decem. |
Der %. for the purpose of pre-
seuting a big lot of game to |
the poor of st. Louis as a Christ
mas present. The association
has gratefully accepted the
offer.
The hunt conducted by the !
farmers in the vicinity of Mon
roe 4 year ago resulted in a
catch Of over 1000 rabbits.
They were delivered at the
Monroe City depot on December
% and shipped to the st. Louis
Provident Association.
The hunt last year was an eX-
pertinent, but its results were
so beneficial, in the direction
intended, that it will be repeat
ed this year, and the great rab-
bit hunt for the st. Louis poor
is the talk not only of Monroe
County, but Of several counties
adjoining.
| 1t is safe to predict that the
catch this year will far exceed
the former one.
Mr.. Hixson of Monroe City
announces that the hunt will
begin bright and early on the
morning of December 81. and
the rabbits will be shipped to
st. Louis SO as to arrive in the
city on Christmas eve, in time
for distribution for Christmas.
1t no doubt will be interest
ing to the kind hearted and
charitable citizens of Monroe
and other counties, who have
thought of the poor far away in
the overcrowded city, to learn
of the method employed by the
: Provident Association to dis
tribute them to the poor. A
list of dependent families is
kept by the association. Each
family is notified by postal to
) be present on Christmas and
{ receive 4 certain number of
: rabbits, the number to be de-
termined by the size of the fam
lily.
From all sources there were
5000 rabbits received by the
association for distribution on
last Christmas. This year
Pettis and Carroll counties al,
ready are making preparations
| for the big hunt, which the
; managers promise will exceed
t that of last year in results.
"The Provident Association
highly appreciates the game
which the kindly farmers and
citizens of towns out in the
state send to us for distribution
among the poor, said Manager
: Finney yesterday.
1--WE wish those who have
interested themselves in the

weekly Market Revie,r.

There was pretty bullish feeling In the
cotton market nearly all the week, due to
buying of the summer months with furth-
er talk of manipulation. High point was
reached on Friday morning, but later
prices broke 10 points leading some to
think the advance had eliminated On
Saturday, however, the market was again
6rmer and recovered nearly all the reac-
ton. August closed u points higher at
6.5Sc; October 5 points higher at e.35c The
weather has been too dry in most sections
and there Is danger in the not at all I'M
likely chance of excessive moisture In
June succeeding the long drought. In that
case the short interest in the fall deliv-
cries, probably now quite extensive, would
be apt to become alarmed and cover, with
the result of further advance.
Wheat ruled weak and lower. although
the manipulators kept a firm grip most
of the time on the near options. July clos
ed TIC lower at about $1H; September
lost about as much, closing S3Lc. Crop
accounts are very favorable and an album
dant and early harvest seems imminent
With the May corner bugaboo out Of the
way, natural influences will become more
prominent, and prices may be expected to
settle back to something like a normal
level.
Corn lost nearly &c in sympathy with
wheat July closed 33c. Stocks are rapidly
diminishing, and before long some of the
recent strength in wheat may develop in
the corn market.

impending calamity in several clear and

or initials. To the lovers of Georgia lore.
the preservation of these interesting pa
pers, the work of love of their distinguish
ed and pains-taking author will be a
source Of much pleasure, and they viii
doubtless secure a copy of the Memoirs
to place beside other similar works Sa-
vannah and the region around it come in
for full share of the stories told about
people more or less known to the present
generation. The story of Homer Virgil
Morel of the family of Morels of Ossab aw
Island, is worthy of the pen of Brete Hart,
in its sympathetic simplicity. But Homer
Virgil Morel was not myth like the old
Californians but living hero with local
habitation and a name. He was a hero
of the Texas revolution, and one of the
survivors of the treacherous massacres by
the Mexicans, and afterwards private in
the Irish Jasper Greens of Savannah, IN
campaigns when the United States army
in after years avenged the murders of the
Texans. Private Morel escaped all the
dangers Of two wars to return to his home
to die by the accidental discharge Of his
gun while hunting, Fifty Years Ago in
Savannah" The Old Cemetery" 'grhe
Stage Forty Years Ago" and a number OF
other sketches. Will interest every Savan-
nathan. The Memoirs" are replete with
stories Of the men of greater or less prom
inence in state affairs who played their
