The indies of this section of the town have a Soldier’s Aid 1 — oo iefcy in successful operation. They Taeet weekly and ply the needle for the benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers.Last Sabbath after service, the appeals of the Sanitary Commission for vegetables waa read to the congregation,' and it was ar. once decided to obtain vrhat we could.Accordingly a committee ; was appointed lor each of the strc-err centering 'here* toriHEiwoo:nans100.uv;:S*.505-lI’LClstate:■WHSCQVJixr*3WZOATSpomGO.QOLIITVine pallata St., Ciicollect and bring in such vegetables aaihe people were willing to contribute.
