 For several years 1t has been the cus- ! tom of this department of the Age-Herald , to assist in raising fund for the Creche. 1 The good that the organization has done 1 in this community Is so well known that | it will not be necessary to urge the peo- l pie to give. It is just the time of the 1 year when the 60 little ones at the Mercy 1 home who are clothed by the Creche are needing winter clothing and their school i books have had to be bought and the ;, treasury is low.
 ] Any contribution sent to Miss Myrtle Miles or to the Age-Herald for this pur- !, pose will be gratefully received The i subscriptions will be acknowledged from ] day to day in these columns and 1t Is i earnestly hoped that every person in Bir- l mingham will contribute something to- i ward the Creche, one of the most de- ! perving institutions in the city. The edu- 1 cation, clothing and feeding of helpless l little children is the cause and every ] cent every dime, every dollar, will be 1 gratefully received by the members of the Creche and by Miss Myrtle Miles. 1 MT and Mrs. Zach Lee Nabers an- nounce the engagement of their daughter, l Nellie Lee. to MT.
