The case of Mrs. Roach is still at
tracing the attention of the generous
people of Hattiesburg, although there
has been little actual cash contribut-
ed, save that already acknowledged
through the Daily News.
1t seems that the husband has not
made any arrangements for her care
or comfort, so far as can be learned,
and as little If any help can be expect
ed from others connected with her,
it remains for those who took up the
matter of aiding her in her extreme
ly unfortunate condition, to bear the
burden, as it was at first intended
should be done.
So far, one gentleman has had all
the actual burden on his shoulders
and it is hardly right that one man
should be allowed to shoulder the ex-
pense alone, for which reason those
who can spare anything. financially,
are invited to send whatever they
choose to the Daily News.
Although the poor woman has been
placed in the hospital, where she is
receiving proper attention, that at.
tention costs money, for one does not
receive treatment gratis anywhere
and the hospital fees remain to be
looked to. All donations for the care
of Mrs. Roach, while she is in the
hospital, can be sent to the Daily
News office with the assurance thai
1t will be applied solely to the care
of herself and the children.
There remains hospital fee ant
all contributions will be used for thai
purpose, the remainder, if any, to be
applied to the needs. 81 the children

The council held two sessions yes
terday.
A letter was read to the council
from the postoffice department in re-
gard to the sidewalks around the gov
eminent property where the Audito-
rum now stands and which is the site
of the public building. This letter was
to advise the council that the govern
ment would not consider the putting
down of cement walks at this time
but no objection would be made to
the city having it done.
The assessment rolls were then
taken up and work proceeded until adj
journment was taken until the night
session.
At the session last night the coun
Gil acted on several important mat
tiers before beginning their nightly toll
on the assessment rolls.
One of the matters acted on last
night was the estimating of the dam
ages suffered by Mr.. Howell, whose
place on Fourth street was set bach
when the street was widened some
months ago. At that time the citizens
who wished the street widened agreed
that If Mr.. Howell would agree to the
widening of the street, they would pay
him whatever the council would es
