LAFAYETTE RESPONDS
With Characteristic Gene :
rosity to the Appeal for
The Relief of the Calves
ton Sufferers.

The prompt and generous re-
Spouse of Lafayette to the appeal
for the relief of the Galveston suf-
ferers should be forever held as one
of the towns most praiseworthy
deeds. In less than twelve hours
after the appeal was made known
the good people of the town had
contributed over four hundred dol
lars for the victims of the storm.
1t IS a notable fact that this hand
some sum is made up principally of
small contributions, indie ating that
this substantial expression of SYM
patty sprang from the popular
heart. This readiness to 60 to the
assistance of the afflicted speaks
we'll for our people. The members
of the subscription committee IN
formed The Gazette that they met
with but very few refusals and those
who gave did so promptly and
cheerfully.
Pursuant to call issued in the
forenoon a meeting was called to
order at the courthouse Tuesday
evening bv Judge Debaillon who
stated the object of the assembly
and requested Mayor Caffery to act
as chairman Mr. Edward G.
VOORHEES, was called upon to serve
as secretary. After a short and
appropriate talk by Mayor Caffery
the gentlemen present started a sub
scription list with liberal contri-
buttons.
Revs. w. J. Sechrest and c. C..
Wier and DR.. N. p. Moss were ap-
pointed to receive subscriptions
from citizens who had not yet had
an opportunity to make donations.
The members of the committee
worked hard throughout the follow
ing day, but were compensated by
the generous cooperation Of the
people who came up very willingly
with their contributions.
At the concert held Tuesday night
Mr.. VIM. Campbell availed himself
of the crowd and called upon the
charitably-inclined persons to add
their share to the relief fund. This
met with spontaneous response
and nearly hundred dollars were
subscribed.
The following is a complete list
