Kennedy, one o f our oldest and most exempts
f j citizen., has actually suffered during his
sickness for the want o f proper attendance.
We are aware that this is not usually the
case with the people o f Dallas; but we notice
agrowing tendency among the present genera
tion (younger portion) to neglect the claims of
the aged upon their gratitude— their humanity.
Grandpa Kennedy is now over eight? years of
age, and has a long time been a member of
one of our local and m<>st influential teligious
organisations. His age and natural infirmity
precludes the possibility o f his liviug much
longer; yet he has been left during the past
week almost entirely dependent on the care of
his aged wife and one child. The only assist
ance tbe family has received has been from
some young men in town outside the pale of
any cburch organisation ! “ A la i ! f o r the ra r
ity o f Chriitian charity /”
Let US hear no more
o f such neglect— such inhumauity. The old
gentleman is fast declining, and it is tbe duty
of every man, p ro fe n o n o f religion or other
wise < particularly the former), to see that those
who have wrestled with tbe worl * for so many
years in I k half of their posterity should at
least close their eyes and pass into their last
sleep ia peace.

that tbe various standing committees appointed
