Show Appeal lor Aid. Mount Carmel, 8. The calamity which has befallen this city has not been overstated. Fourteen blocks of beautiful homes and buainess houses are in ruins, a hundred families houseless and helpless, a score of dead and over seventy deadly hurt in a population of 2,500 and a loss of not less than $300,000, is too heavy a load for this henrt-stricken people to carry alone, and help must come from the country at large. Any aid from cities that may be sent to R. S. Gordon, mayor, or Judge T. J. Shannon ot the banking house of Shannon A Bdal, chairman of the relief committee, will be wisely and faithfully appropriated towards those who are worthy and needy. |
