THE CRY OF THE POOR
Former MarshaIltown Men Hear It In
Chicago and Minneapolis and Send
Comfortable Checks for the Destitute
in Their "old Home Town."

Two very substantial contributions
from former Marshalltown men
reached the office of the Times Re-
publican today from former citizens
who read the story of the destitute in
last Thursdays T.-R. and whose gen.
erous impulses responded to the APP
peal. Mr.. f. C. Let's, head of the
great Western Grocer company wires
to the editor of the T.-R his check for
$50 The telegram reads:
Chicago, H., Dec. Gid. w. Norris.
Jr., Editor Times Republican, Marshall
town, Iowa: You show that there are
needy. Let's give them happy Christ
mas. Call on citizens thru your paper
to help with donations. Appoint COM
mittee to carry out the work. Sending
my check for $50. Writing.
F. c. LETTS.
Another former citizen and business
man, now located in Minneapolis.
sends his check for s25, with the in
junction that his name Is to be held
cOllIiQpnJl3l. 1Nle l.-IS. siSSulllc9 tiidN
this means that his name is not to be
published and so withholds 1t. But any
citizen interested may learn his name
by calling the T.-R.. over the phone
and it will be one well, known and
highly respected in this city for many
years. His letter reads:
Minneapolis, Mimi. Dec 10. 1908.
Editor Times Republican. Marshall
town, Iowa. Dear Sir: In your issue
of Semi Weekly T.-R, under date OF
Dec. II, you publish an account of five
families in Marshalltown that are des-
titute l enclose you my check for $25
on Marshalltown State bank, which
you will kindly cash and divide the
proceeds among these families accord
ing, in your Judgment, to their needs
and you will kindly regard this as
strictly confidential.
Yours very truly,

It may be properly suggested here
that those of us who are still residents
of Marshalltown in fact as we'll as at
heart and in remembrance may well
emulate the generosity OF these citf-
zens who while not with us are and
will always be of us. 1t may be fur
ther suggested that our opportunities
to know for ourselveS are plain and
present and that the people Who need
help. perhaps In our own block, are
easier for us to find and assist than
If were in Chicago and Minneapolis.
The T.-R's investigation is of neces-
sity carried on slowly and at odd times
by men who are busy at this season
as all men are busy There are others
to find and relieve. The T.-R. can not
find them all but the mass of kindly
disposed and charitable citizens can if
they look for them. The T.-R. does not
call to act as disbursing agent for
these charities, but is attempting to
point out some of the cases of desti
tuition in the hope that the general
citizenship will see its opportunity and
it's duty.
