Soldiers Aid Society appeals for funds for New Hampshire families
The State Soldiers Aid society asks NH residents to donate to care for families of volunteers who served in the Spanish American War and for supplies to sick First New Hampshire regiment soldiers at Chickamauga. With around 150 men ill, hospital stocks are insufficient, and convalescents need ice malted milk and foods as the term of service likely extends several months. Treasurer William F. Thayer at Concord is urged to receive large donations to sustain patriotic support.

KITTERY ME NEWS BRIEFS AND A FROLIC SAILING NOTES
Local items report William Ayer leasing a house and preparing to move with his horse to Mrs. Wentworth’s stable. Band concert plans, social engagements, and neighborhood humor about a Battle Hill sign follow with reflections on nomenclature.
