airy still in Need of Many Things,
Chickens and Cow Among Them.
The Woman's Auxiliary of the Crit
tenton Mission for fallen women met
yesterday afternoon. The meeting was
the last that will be held before the
opening of the home. The furniture
is to be sent to Wellington to-day and
as the work of putting it in place and
putting things in shape generally will
begin at once, it is more than likely
that the home will be opened for public
inspection tomorrow.
To get the furniture and other arti
cles that have been donated out to the
home the board of directors of the
mission have engaged a special car
from the Savannah Electric Company,
and this will be stationed on st. Julian
street, east of the Market, to-day from
noon until 1:15 O'Clock. Articles can
be delivered to the car by the donors
themselves, though to save trouble on
the part of these beneficiaries of the
home, arrangements have been made
with the Union Transfer Company to
collect from the homes of the donors
all gifts of which Mrs. G. w. Ander-
son has been notified.
1t is especially requested that ar
rangements for delivering these gifts
at an early hour be made, as the
Transfer Company will begin its round
of collection about o'clock, an early
start being necessary so that many
places can be visited.
Gifts From the Churches.
1t was requested that at the meet
ing yesterday full reports as to dona-
lions and intende gifts be submitted
by the various churches that have
promised to assist in the work of fur
nishing. Only one complete report was
received, from the Christian Church,
which expressed the intention of COM
pletely furnishing two rooms. This
generous gift was supplemented by the
gift of the furnishings for another
room by Mrs. i. NJ. Mathuss.
AS there are but three rooms to a
ward and as Mrs. Mathuss is a MEM
Der of the Christian Church. which
furnished the other two rooms, her gift
completes a ward. furnished entirely
by the Christian Church and its in
dividual members. These gifts so i'm
pressed the ladies at the meeting that
a rising vote of thanks was given The
Christian Church and Mrs. Mathuss.
Though a good deal of furniture has
already been given or promised the
Auxiliary has as yet received no dona-
t1ons of articles for the furnishing of
the pantry, dining room or kitchen. that
is, with the exception of the table and
chairs for the dining room, and the
range for the kitchen. No tableware
or china of any description has been
received though this is one of the class
of articles most needed in the home,
neither have any groceries or provis-
ions of any kind been given.
Furniture Collected.
These things are urgently needed, in
fact. will have to be had before the
home can be opened for the reception
of its future occupants. and so the
ladies are in hopes that such contri-
buttons will be forthcoming to-day,
when if the information is telephoned
the Union Transfer Company, a call for
the gifts will be made.
Further the members of the Auxil-
larry wish it understood that they can
utilize to advantage number of chick
ems for breeding purposes, the home
being furnished with ample grounds,
not only naturally fitted for raising
fowls, but being further fitted with ex-
ceIlent cooDs and such other arrange
ments as are necessary for taking care
of them. A milk COW, also, would be a
most appreciated present.
So soon as the home has been put to
rights a time will be set for it's formal
opening. The members of the Aux
Hilary, and other bodies and individuals
connected with the work as we'll as
such other persons, as it is desired to
have and, probably the general public
will be notified of the hour of the
opening and of the programme for the
occasion.
