    The company of Homeless Children, of whom we wrote last week are coming into our midst under charge of Mr. Green, Thursday, April 26th, will be at the Snodgrass House after 10 o'clock a.m. and the citizens of this and the old town as well as all the county about are warmly invited to come to see them and take a little fellow, if best. The terms upon which these children are placed are fair to all and simple. The child is not allowed to remain with you if it is not best, and Mr. Green visits the houses about once a year.

    The visit of G. T. Green of the Children's Home, Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Snodgrass House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. last Thursday with a party of children was very successful. The company were met by both town and courntry people, and by 3 o'clock all but one child were placed in good homes, most of them about North Vernon; one each at Lovett, Holton and Nebraska; two at Scipio; Mr; Green's success was such that he expects to come again to fill further applications from 20 to 30th of May.
