The mans plea touched the kind

others gave several dollars to the
man, in order that he could buy food.
The matter has now been taken UP
by several organizations and indi-
v:duals and Rigsby, his wife and
child, will be cared for.
Returning from the army, Rigsby
and his wife were happy with their
child in the small house at 1901
Rome street, until he lost his job on
January Is. Three months house
rent accumulated and the owner
sought relief from the law to have
the former doughboy vacs.te the
house, it being parc of his support.
The law took its course and those
who heard Rigsby's story in court
were surprised o knew that any fam
i,y in Petersburg was in such desti-
tutc circumstances.
