Rev. W. L. Dixson, Superin-
tendent of the Dixson Orphan
Home, for colored people locat-
ed in this city, inaugrated al
campaign for the benefit of the
Home, and is asking the people
of this city to contribute $1,000.
The campaign was launched
it the colored Methodist church
Sunday night and everything
darted to work to raise the
amount. The solicitation will I
lot be confined to the colored
eople alone, as the white busi-
less men will be asked to con-
ribu'e, and one or two of them
have start ed. off the subscrip-
ion with $100 each. ,
The Dixson orphanage is now
areing for 105 inmates, rang-
ng in age from six months to
ixteen years. That is a pretty
ig family to care for and Rev.
)ixson has to hustle to keep'
hem house room and in groce-

He has just had three new
uildings erected, the third one

ddition to these new improve-
nents has had new roofs put on

ition added to the office, with 1
. porch all around it and a 12 x {
6 room added to the domestic ।
