They are living in a sort of tumble down house with many panes of glass out of the windows and their only means of obtaining fuel is by gathering up scat tered brush and breaking it up tc burn. This will soon be gone and unless some helping hand will give aid in some way the mother and children will be separated. This mother does sewing and nice em- broidery when she has opportunities, but the chances to do this seem to be so far apart that she gets discouraged trying to find work. The family. lives six miles from a store and postoffice, and just now this mother walks the distance with poor shoes on her feet and obtains what food she can for existence. The home is with out comforts. 1 trust this case may in- terest the readers of the Corner and that some helping hands may bring help to these unfortunates. A. G. H. This is not the time of year in which we care to think of anyone as cold and lacking comforts and I am sure the hearts and hands of our Cornerites will be ready with a prompt response to this appeal. The address of the friend who writes of this needy household will be supplied upon application.
