the orphans have a thirty-acre
orchard of finest known fruits.
The bursting buds and fragrant
blossoms cheer 400 young hearts
with hope of a harvest of deli-
cious fruits. This orchard will
long remain a source of joyous
health and strength to the home.
To complete this blessing and
insure the fruit to the children,
one thing yet remains to !>e done.
This garden, in which "all man-
ner of fruit is grown.'" needs
dressing and keeping. The keep-
er needs a cottage in its midst.
A public road lies on two sides of
the orchard and trespassing will
be serious if not hindered. The
resources of the home are i eing
exhausted in an effort to rebuild
i he recently burned domicile,
whose flames charred the bodies
anil winged the spirits of nineteen
previous young lives To aid
this institution is a clear privilege,
noble charity and solemn duty.
The intrepid manager and his
heroic corps of assistants are
greatly distressed by gloom and
sorrow for those who were lost,
and this appeal is made to the
friends of the home to make all
donations for the "orchard cot-
tagp fund" direct to Rev. R. C.
Buckner, Orphan Monte, Dallas

of three rooms will be sufficient.
The work should he done at the
earlist possible day. Manager
Buckner will promptly publish
all donations. "Let every one
