Elizabeth Burns and Louise Scheffe, of Buffalo township, have collected articles to fill a box for the soldiers. The box contains 12 feather pillows, 24 pillow cases, 100 yards cotton bandages, 26 yds. linen bandages, and other articles. This box has been left with Mr. Wm. [Van Tuyl], at Floral Hall, near corner of Fourth and Brady streets and will be delivered to the Scott County Ladies’ Relief Society, or to any other organization which will have the articles applied to their proper use, upon application at the above named place.
