A LETTER OF THfIJfKS, From Dr. Crumley, an Old Rome Boy. Atlanta, GA.,Oct. 22. Editor Rome Hustler-Com mercial: —Many want to know the results of the “Work Day” for the tender sufferers. If any one doubts of the sympathy of Georgians, he ought to read a few of the letters which brought gifts, varying from $60.00 down to five cents. They show love and sacrifice. What did they do? Many had cotton picking, the bales rolled high. They picked peas and pea nuts, pulled hay, and did all kinds of farm work. They run engines, kept store, “picked” type, drove the saw. The ladies sewed, taught, made cake, ice cream, dresses and above all made sacrifices. An old Moravian saint of 74 years made a pair of fleecy slippers to warm the feet of some heart hungry sick orphan. Boxes with deeply need ed winter garments are coming in. Only a part of the money has reached the agent, but enough to make him thank God and hu manity. Already over $1,000.00 has reached him, and many friends and Sunday schoolshave not acted yet or sent their gifts. In addition to the money are the boxes. The Orphan’s home at Deca tur, like other such institutions, feels the injury to crops and de pression of trade more than the public appreciates, for pove ’y throws many little dependents on others at our doors. Twenty pinched faces have begged a helping hand this week. What can be done for such needy ones? All the Orphan’s Homes in Georgia are crowded, and the public ought to put each of these where they can do all that is needed, for the Homes save the public much in taxes by making those who would probably be criminals into upright valuable citizens.
