CARRIED TO THE INDUSTRIAL HOME
Four Little Olrls of this County Find
■ Comfortable Home In this
Worthy Institution.
Four little girls—sisters—were
toduy received into the Georgia
Industrial Home. They came from
Riclnvood, in pooly county, and
are Ihe cildren of destitute and
invalid father—their mother dead.
At Richwood they were absolutely
dependent upon the charities of
the people. A pitiful story is be
hind these little helpless girls.They
are all bright and promising but in
hopeless poverty until rescued and
sent to that beneficient institution
—the Georgia Industrial Home for
unfortunate children. Their en
trance into the. Home was made
necessary by their utter destitution,
though the institution is already
crowded. Mr. Mumford and one
of the boys from the Home met the
little ones at the Georgia Southern
train this morning and they were
sent out to the Home at once,
\Y list a blessing to these other
wise hopeless little girls this Home
ot Faith will be. Surely such an
institution should not suffer a finan
cial struggle for existence. With
n lavish hand the; help should
come to sustuin und keep it ulive.
Tnese little girls were sent to the
Home through Mr. B. P. O’Neal,
of the Parrott Lumber Company ut.
Richwood, who wrote of their
hopeless and helpless con
dition. More -than one hundred
such children have found a heaven
of rescue from want and misery in
the Georgia Industrial Home.—Ma
