scnting the Salvation Army Rescue
Home for girls in Grecnville, was in
the city several days last week solicit
ing subscriptions for that worthy in
sttution. As is we'll known, the res
cue home is maintained by free-will
offerings and is under the direction of
the Salvation Army It's work is the
rescue and reformation of fallen girls,
its inmates being taken from all parts
Of the Piedmont section. Captain
Dcpew was greatly encouraged with
her reception in Laurcns at the time
she was seen by an Advertiser repre-
sentative, but she stated that she
would not get tho opportunity to sec
many whom she would ordinarily like
to call upon. She asked that any Of
those who had not been called upon
and were interested in the work, be
requested TO send their gifts Of money
or provisions TO the home on Ruthcr-
ford street in Grocnvillc. The trustees
Of the home are Messrs. Thos. F. Par
ker Fl. j. lIayncsworth, II. Oregon
!+awton, J. 4. Mccullough, Geo. r.

fact that these gentlemen allow their
names to be connected with the home
IS sufficient guarantee that the cause
Is a worthy one.
