March 22. ’ To the Sheriffs of the several CouuHe?^ of North Carolina: | IT is deemed not only desirable but an imperative du ty, that early measures be taken to accumulate a supply of winter clothing for tlie North Carolina troop>i now in the field. The sc;ircity of material for sale in the State, and the uncertainly of procuring supplies | from abroad, force tis to rely on our domestic resources It is thought that every fatnily can spare one or more • Blankets without personal inconvenience, or a pair of . Woolen Socks, and it is 'elieved that for such a pur j pose a call would le responded to wit^ alacrity. ; It has therefore been concluded that an appeal for j this purpose be mude to the great body of the people, , and witli that view I Imve to request the Sheriffs of the j several Counties to act as agents of tlie State, to solicit a contribution of this kinil. To this end they are requested to circulate this no tice, and employ agents in every district of their county to further the matter. All contributions of this kind may be boyed and for- ’ warded to the nearest Railroad Depot, and due informa tion thereof sent to the Governor. The Sheritts are further requested to furnish to ihe Governor a list of the donors. The transportation of these donations will be at the expense of tlie State—and the bill for such service should be duly forwarded for payment. HKNRV T. CLARK, Governor of N. C. In cheerful compliance with the several requests con- taine'.i in the above Circular of His Excellency (Jovernor Clark, the umlersigned. Sheriff of t'umberland, has made provision within the several Districts of the Coun ty for the rt'ception of contributions for the provision and comfort of our gallant soldiers. As it is our pride to know that tlie gooI old county of Cumberland has sent f>rth h*T best and bravest sons to the battle-field, so will it be to us gratifying to feel that we have ministered to their necessities and cheer fully contributed to (heir w.ints It is therefore un necessary to make any appeal to the charities of a peo ple whose generous jind warm hearts ever beat respon sive to the calls of patriotic dtity. Contributions will be received in the several Dis'ricts by the persons named, ('oniributors will please mark their names upon articles '^enf. F.tveftn'illf District—Hy K. W, TIardie, P F. .Alderman.
