The good people of Liberty township are evidently alive to the wants of our suffering soldiers in the various hospitals. Last evening, Rev. Mr. Wortz drove into town from out that way, with four large wheat sacks filled with articles for the comfort and relief of the wounded; such as shirts, sheets, quilts, pillows, and pillow-cases, towels, bandages, and lint, and some dried beef and dried grapes. He also brought in $76.45. Besides, he had a part of a load of articles for the State Sanitary commission. Liberty Township is hard to beat, when the people there set to work to accomplish any benevolent object. But the fact needn’t prevent others from trying to beat them.
