Clouds of sorrow, scenes of desolation, hearts burdened with grief, are every where about us. As though sor rowful for the destruction they have wrought, the elements seem to weep with us. Scarcely a ray of sunshine has pierced the leaden skies since that fateful Monday, June 1, and our beautiful city is constantly drenched with “tears from the skies. ” Out of the clouds of gloom and sadness with which we are surrounded, however, a voice has come, bidding us be of good cheer. Georgia’s great heart has responded nobly to our call for aid and from city and hamlet letters of sympathy, bearing evi dences of the brotherhood of man, in the shape of checks and drafts have come to feed the hungry, re lieve the suffering and bury the dead. To every one who has con tributed of money, stores or pro visions, sympathy or words of en couragement, Gainesville returns her heartfelt thanks and prays God’s richest blessings upon the giver thereof. To Citizens of Barnesville we hereby acknowledge the receipt of $138.00. Gratefully yours, Z. T. Castle bury, Treasurer Relief Fund.
