CITIZENS SHOULD HELP
There is an opportunity for everyone in our fair city to do a kind and noble act.
You all no doubt have read of the terrible accident which happened to Mr. John Brannon - his head was crushed by the wheels of a heavy wood wagon. Mr. Brannon was killed instantly, hence he suffered no pain; but think of the poor widow and five fatherless children being left homeless and penniless, alone in a little cabin on a wood ranch, where they have been living while the husband was working hard to support his wife and little children. The oldest child is a girl 13 years of age; the other four are quite small, they are strangers, but not left in a strange land but in a loyal Christian land.
Fathers, they need money; mothers, little girls and boys need clothes, have you got something you would like to give them? If so leave them at the home of Mrs. M. P. Dennis, 1790 State street.
