| Wood for the Needy Families of Soldiers |
| We find the following notice
in the Intelligencer of yesterday morning. This provision is
timely and will be a great relief to many who are suffering during
this cold snap: |
| We have been requested by
Major Rowland, the Superintendent of the State Road {Western
& Atlantic RR}, to state that on application to Mr. E. B.
Walker, at the State Road Office, the families of soldiers and of
indigent persons, will be supplied with wood. This considerate and
generous act of the Major speaks volumes for his benevolence an patriotism.
The poor soldiers' families, and the indigent of the city, have
suffered much for the want of wood for weeks past. They could not buy
it, and cannot now. Major Rowland has seen and felt this, and has come
to their relief. |
