SOUP HoU5E-The work of feeding
the poor continues, and large num-
her are supplied every day. Miss
Bette Pollard, assisted by large corps
of other young ladies, who are mem
bers of the different church societies,
is doing good work among those who
are in actual want, in every section Of
the city, as far south as Jefferson
street. A feature of the work is to see
that white people are supplied. The
contributions continue to come in from
those who are more fortunate. and, as
a consequence, substantial food is being
supplied. Sergeant Smith, with Pc
licemen Roberts, Wilkerson, Spinks al d
knight have proved of great help to
these ladies', they having located g
large number of people who are in
actual want, but are too proud to let
it be known. The distribution OF food
is done in systematic order, and OF 9
person is detailed to see that unfortu-
mates are provided with food regularly.
