If You Have Any Work to Be Done Offer Employment Now.

The cold weather of the past month has been hard on people who work for a living and there has been a general lack of employment. This has resulted in making a great many industrious men with families to support very hard up for ready money and there are now a good nfany men in this city who are out of employment and who are willing to engage in any honorable occupation^ A 'man who is well known for his industry and honesty said to The Republican editor this morning; “I am in need of work, but I can’t find any to do. Since the ice packing Job there has been nothing to work at.” It is quite probable that there are a good many little Jobs about town that need attention and it would be the proper spirit of brotherhood to offer some bow to any person who asks tor a Job or to bunt up a man and put him,,to work. Even a small amount of employment might be of considerable aid. Rensselaer bas been mighty fortunate to have so little suffering during such a prolonged cold ijpsll. There were only a limited number of appeals for aid and they were all cared for. But many whd suffer would not ask for aid. They will work if given a chance and The Republican suggests that all give such employment as they can find need of without delay.
