The Poor of the City

1860s newsprint

 Albany [GA] Patriot , August 23, 1860

Few persons perhaps are aware that there are many families in our midst who do not get  half enough to eat. While it has ever been characteristic of our citizens to give with a liberal  hand, yet there are many charitable objects who seem at present to be overlooked. Can nothing  be done in their behalf? If the ladies, who never fail in their efforts to promote every laudable  undertaking, would take the initiatory step, we feel sure that it would end in royal [?] blessings to  the poor and our community.
