Clothing for the Rangers.

Many persons have been seeking opportunities of sending clothing to the Rangers. We are at last able to assure them of a chance to do so.

Mr. William Nance, a reliable and energetic man of Brazoria county, is a discharged soldier of that regiment, and has offered to take clothing through to the boys, provided the expenses of the trip shall be paid.

A careful estimate of the expenses shows that they will reach nearly or quite $2 per pound of the clothing sent. At any rate, it is thought best that $2 per pound be paid into the fund, and if there is anything over, it can go into the hospital fund of the regiment. Each package should be put up compactly, about three feet in length, and plainly marked with the name of the sender and the person to whom sent, and sent to Mr. Nance at Brazoria, or at this office. He will leave about the 20th inst. Let the packages be promptly forwarded. The boys are deserving an outfit; let us send them enough to keep them comfortable.
