SEEK HOME FOR ORPHAN CHILDREN

Who has a place in their home for a little boy of six or a little girl of four, or both?

There are doubtless many in Jefferson county who have considered the though of giving a home to some little one who is homeless, and now the opportunity presents itself forcibly.

Little Mabel and Hubert Hill are left by the death of their mother with no one to care for them but the county and state. Unless a home can be found for them here they must be taken to the Orphan's Home at Des Moines.

Little saddened hearts of four and six need more sympathy and love than can possibly be theirs in any institution. Isn't there a home and happiness for them somewhere in Jefferson county?

Any one who is interested in seeing these children with a view to adoption may call on Mrs. Marshal Chilcott, overseer of the poor.
