Tho examination subjects will embrace the following subjects: Spelling, arithmetic, letter- writing, penmanship, copying from plain copy, and reading addresses, MRS. GILL SLIGHTLY BETTER, BUT STILL SUFFERING Mrs. Gill's condition still remains serious, but the nurse, Mrs, Sikes, stated this morning that she thought she was improving, and that they hold out a hope ot her recovery, Her burns are still very paintul, but with arciul nursing it is hoped that these will soon begin to heal. Mrs, Gill's body is kept encased in ointment, which has to be put on several times daily. This calls for clean cloths in large quantities, and the trained nurse states that she has hardly enough to last through today, and that any ladies who have any old worn sheets, pillow cases, or white cloths of any kind that can b torn up, that they would be grate- fully received and would add much to the lady's comfort. A good man: sheets have been donated, in fact, they have about enough bed linen but old cloths are needed now; also night gowns. We feel sure that these necessities will be forthcominy as soon as it is learned they are needed. DPonations are still being made, but more money i3 still needed. One man, who is only making $1.50 per day gave $5, saying, “I went in and saw the poor woman, and although my family need that money, 1 would rather go without a meal or two in order to help that much.” Such help as that is what is appreciated, and we feel sure that many who have already subscribed, as well as thos: who have not, will be glad to assist further, as it is certainly greatl) needed. The amount that has been receiv- ed has been placed in the bank and is being expended by the United Charities Society. The full list of subscribers will be published in these columns when it is complete. 1 | | R S S~ S IS R = S o Wy e
