Asked 10 Aid Dover In the Work.
At the recent rummage sale held by
the Kings Daughters over $50 was
realized from the two days sale. They
now have over 5000 on hand and are
anxious to make it $500 at once so that
they may be in position to ask the
same amount from General Palmer.
Are there any presons ready to help
or wholly make up that amount?
Several contributions have been re-
ceived since our last report through
the newspapers, for which we are sim
cerely grateful. We are gratified to
learn that Smyrna, too, sees the urgent
need of this home and is endeavoring
to assist in very substantial way.
We hope every town in Delaware will
feel as Smyrna does and will make
every possible effort to help build this
home as it is intended as a home for
their needy ones as well as those Of
Dover.
