Those dollar contributions for Houston's
public square are still rolling In.
They are being obtained Just as fast as the
ladies can go for them. Nearly every per-
son in Houston knows the need Of one or
ere public squares in this city, and very
few are refusing to give the dollar con-
tributions that the laeies ask,
The majority OF the people so far APP
preached have esteemed it great prlvi-
lege to give towards such commendable
movement, and they are Offering the
Daughters of the Confederacy every pos
sble encouragement
This canvass for dollars Is unlike any
thing ever before attempted in Houston.
1t isn't ali appeal in behalf of some char
ity, but is plan to secure an ornament
for the city and necessity for the people.
1t will be paid for by the people and
every man or woman who gives can feel
an equal interest therein.
The subscriptions are all alike and
every name printed means a dollar con-
trlbution. The printing OF the names is
the receipt that each lady gives, and 1t
shows exactly what has been collected each
day, and by whom and from whom.
There are several thousand people who
have not yet been seen The committees
request that those who have not been
visited be prepared for their coming any
day. Get your dollar ready, place it In an
envelope. writing your name thereon, and
lay II aside until some authorized repre-
sentative calls for II. II you desire to
still further facilitate matters however.
