AID FOR NOVA SCOTIA

Readers will recall the scenes of destitution amongst the fishermen in Nova Scotia recently recounted.

A meeting was held recently in Hamilton, chaired by Mayor Charlton, that resolved to canvass the city for subscriptions to provide relief for the residents of that province. The Hamilton Committee for Nova Scotia relief has further resolved itself to approach the townships in Wentworth County to commit to a similar undertaking. The campaign will run until the 4th of February.
