DOINGS OF UNITED CHARITIES.
THEY WILL BE CALLED ON FOR
HELP UNTIL SPRING.

The large amount of supplies which
has been sent from various sources is
quickly disappearing through the great
demand made upon it by the 800 needy
persons in this city. The new system
inaugurated by the United Charities of
having a store, with a clerk, who is
thoroughly acquainted with the people,
to distribute the supplies, is working
much better than the old way, yet, not
withstanding the care with which
everything is given out, it is now evi-
dent that the charities will find them
selves confronted with the same needs
from now until Spring. A prominent
member ofthe Associated Charities in
conversation with the Evening Journal
correspondent said: Eve will endeaVor
to supply the needy with the suIbstan-
tials of life, such as -four, meat and
beans, and make the funds on hand
go as far as possible in this direction.
1t now requires about $50 per week to
supply fuel and clothing alone, while
some families have sick members who
must have extra care"
There are many farmers who have
not yet contributed, but who are will
ing to make donations of potatoes,
pork, meat and vegetables, but on ac-
count of the almost impossible condi-
ton of the roads, have not been able to
bring them in.
Many families who have never be-
fore been known to ask aid, and who
are averse to going in the heart of the
town to the depot of supplies, are be-
ing helped by private parties from Will
mingtOn and elsewhere.
