The Finance Committee was unable . . .

. . . on Wednesday, to call upon all of our citizens for their aid to the relief of the wounded soldiers.  In order that all may have an opportunity to contribute their mite, the finance committee have left the subscription paper with C. H. Eldridge, at the Post office, there all of our citizens, who have not contributed and wish to do so, can have an opportunity.

By order of the finance committee.
