AN APPEAL FOR AID
	
Distress and Suffering Said to Exist 
in Kimball County

The following communication has been received by 
Elder Howe:
Dix, Kimball County, Neb., Dec 7-- Rev. Brother Howe,
city missionary, Lincoln:
   "It is cold as winter out here, and I am solicity
for supplies for some poor families; I have concluded
to write you for aid. The hail last July utterly
destroyed crops of all kinds for miles wide and
many long, causing much need of all family supplies
for food and clothing. What some families will do I
can't see or say. Suffering is now upon them. I 
preach in a belt of that destitution and know what
I say. Can you send me some supplies for such needy
families, such as you may have to distribute. I would
be glad to aid some families a little. Some farmers
who can go ten to fifteen and twenty miles for fodder
for stock. If a hard winter much suffering for man
and many beasts must of necessity be endured.
   Boxes or sacks sent to Dix will be gratefully
received and distributed. The state can do nothing,
as it has no funds donated to such purposes--so says
the governor. Charity, charity, much of need. If
possible I know you will aid in this endeavor.
   I have a circuit this year, also "Kimball and Potter."
                   Fraternally yours,
                       A. R. Cooley
