Must Redoubie Effort.
Eppa Hunton. Jr., speaker Of the day.
said that there 10 a sentimental reason
why Richmond should build = hospital
for her colored people. The relations
between the two races, he said, hav.
always been friendly, and the city
owes a debt to her colored population
which must soon be paid. Ee was sur
prtsed. he said. that only e7s people
had given towards the fund. Cards
numbering $4,000 have been issued. but
less than 1000 had responded to the
call.
Tho effort" continued Mr.. Hunton.
requires persistent, effective and ef-
icient work. and ! appeal to you TO
redoubie your efforts that we may raise
the necessary money. We ought to I'm
fsh what we have set out to do, and we
should call upon those who have not
been made to see the necessity OF this
greater hospital"
