CHILDREN ARE COLD AND HUNGRY.
BY DADDY jim

We have received letter of heartfelt thanks
from R. J. Collins, Albertville, Ala for $500

say that he needs assistance, and anything you
people can do for him will be blessing If any

He is out of employment, and is not physically
able to do manual labor, but with a little
and a little money invested in the right way this
man might secure sufficient work to provide for
his family. Good people, get together and send
this man to Florida and let him recover his
health so that he provide for his three little
motherless children that standing around
a cherries fireplace with only a few sparks of
fire, and have hardly anything to eat at all. May
Gods blessings rest upon you people and cause
you to open up your hearts to one Ct Gods child

(The two dollars which sent him spent
for food. I wonder how many of those who
reading this have ever been hungry very hungry,
faint and weak from hunger when there was moth

it, and don't believe you would like your child

if it's only few pennies, dime. Don't let
the little ones go cold and hungry.-DADDY JIM

call for answer. Whenever possible, we reply
through The jeff, acknowledging receipt of all

as we can find room for. Appeals for help, where

ly this year, Mr.. Glasner going ever
each forty" of a school section and
infinitely recording its good and bad
features. thus giving the state de-
partment accurate knowledge of the
value of each piece Of school land.
In other years it was the custom to
simply drive around a school section
and make a guess at it's value. Mr..
Glasner is being assisted by the coun.

WORK ON CITY HALL.

The work Of laying the concrete
foundation OF the new city hall is in
progress this week. The basement
will only run under the east half of
tic building and the excavating is all
competed. but the contractors are
having considerable trouble with the
cistern which was under the old
building. 1t is directly under the
east wall and will have to be thor
oughly pumped out and filed in SO
that a solid foundation may be Sc
cured. The old cistern was put in
when the building was built in the
eighties and furnished water for fire
protection for several years. At the
rear end Of the building Is the old
artesian well, or rather the deep
hole that was dug with the object of
striking the artesian bed. Gray Bros,
the contractors, sunk the well 440
feet and while of course. they did not
strike the artesian bed, they secured
a good flow of water. However, the
pump failed to work and the city re-
fused to pay the contractors and the
case was in court for several years.
