work they secured about six
hundred dollars which amount
has been increased by liberal
contributions from the friends OF
oar soldier boys. After collect
ing a large amount of canned
goods, jellies, &C., which were
sent to the Base Hospital al
Richmond, they have undertaken
to supply every soldier from
Shenandoah county, with Com
fort Kits, containing number
of articles which the sol
diers will find useful. They ART
now engaged in knitting sweat

They gave SIS 90 to the Y. Nj

PUBLIC SPIRIT AND GENEROSI.
TY OF THE POITEVENT Z
FAVRE COMPANY.

The big companies Of st. Tam
many parish do aD immense amount
of good work that never comes to
knowledge of the people generally.
Big business that Is probably man
aged pays strict attention to details
and overhead expenses. If 1t did not
it would not long be "big business"
This very strictness Of accounting
leads some to believe that these COM
panies are close and selfish and only
consider money making, but II the
public knew of the many calls that
were made upon the generosity OF
large concerns, including banking in
situations, and the amounts that are
yearly contributed to benefcent
causes and for. the public good, this
feeling would change considerably.
The women's societies of COving-
ton are interested in building an
educational building at the fair
grounds. It is an important under
taking and one that requires the ex-
penditure Of considerable money
and while the benefits of such q
building will extend to the parish
generally. It Is doubtless If, taking
into consideration the money that
must be raised for other purposes
the undertaking could have been &C

something that deserves special men

appreciate things done through pure

his company would donate $4,000
