Since December the Kings Dsugh-
tiers, aided by one Of the grandest or
CARNATIONS on record, paid the rent Of
an aged, i'll Confederate soldier and his
old Wits. The man, is dying Of con.
sumption and utterly unable 70 render
himself or wife any assistance; in fact,
starvation has long been staring them
in the face. They are q worthy compile,
too, and objects Of deepest commisera-
ton; so that when an acre Of land on
which to erect q small building was
offered them at Bristol, the Kings
Daughters, aided again by the same
noble organization, succeeded in raising
S72, with which they sent the man and
his wife to Bristol provided with q
bountiful outlay Of food TO last several
days after reaching their friends. To
this fund was added s. from Mr.. r. b.
Lutterloh and $40 from Mrs. Winthrop's
