TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

1t has been the custom for years
with the Kings Daughters of Car
son to provide the needy of this city
with a good substantial box of pro-
visions and a few dairties at Christ
mas time. These boxes have always
been greatly appreciated by those re-
c%eiving them and a great help through
the winter. While the recipients
might struggle along they are looked
for by so1ne and counted on.
The Kings Daughters have been
called on to such an extent this fall
that they feel that if there is any one
in our midst who would like to help
one less fortunate than themselves,
their help, however small or great,
would be greatly appreciated by this
order. There are sent in these boxes
groceries of all kinds, canned fruit,
homemade jelly and preserves, Or
anges, chicken, duck or turkey, cauli-
flower and celery. Almost any thing
will be acceptable. This call will re-
main open till next Tuesday, Decem-
der 10Th, and any one wishing to
donate will kindly send same to Mrs.
Fred Cushing's home, where the
boxes will be packed and sent out.
