MISS HOWELL RETURNS
FROM CALIFORNIA

Miss Julia Howell has returned from
Long Beach, near Los Angeles, where
she spent the winter. During the time
she was there the weather was ideal
with six weeks of sunshine without a
shower but the warm moist sea-breeze
kept vegetation green and growing.
Among the delightful experiences of
her sojourn was seeing the annual pa
geant Of roses at Pasadena on New
Years day. While this tropical city
was sweet with the fragrance of roses
and oranges the snow-capped mountains
were in sight and the contrast heighten-
ed the beauty of the scenes. Miss
Howell visited San Francisco, Denver,
Salt Lake and other places of interest.
After seeing immense palms and other
tropical trees for several months and
breathing sunshine while Marietta
shivered in storms of sleet and snow,
she is glad to be at home under the
oaks of Georgia

MRS. WILL FLEMING'S
HORSE RUNS AWAY

Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Will Elem
ing was driving her beautiful horse,
Dolly, on Whitlock Avenue when a dis
arrangement of the harness frightened
her add she dashed through the crowded
square injuring Miss Era Johnson and
Mr.. W. t. Rainey. Mrs. Fleming held
the lines and guided the horse until she
slackened her speed on the hill near the
federal cemetery. She fastened the
lines to the whip handle and stepped
from the buggy slightly spraining her
ankle as she did so.
The escape of so many people from
serious injury is remarkable and due to
the bravery and strength of Mrs. Elem
ing.

Push Sale Of Red Cross Seals.

The American Red Cross has al
ready printed over S5,000,0O0 Red
Cross Christmas seals and probably
the edition will number 100000 600
before the end of the campaign. If
the anticipations of the anti.tubercu-
losis workers are realized, no less
than 100000 will be obtained from
the sale Of Red Cross seals. Practic-
ally all of the money remains in the
state or city where the seals are sold,
only very small percentage of it is
going to pay for the cost Of the print
ing and distributing the seals and for
the expense of running the campaign.
In case any persons cannot obtain
seals in the community where they
live, they can secure them by writing
to Red Cross Seal Headquarters, It's
Union Trust Building, Washington, d.
c. Red Cross seals cost one cent
each and every seal sold is bullet in
