TO HEAR MISS JACKSON.
Mrs. S. G. Pryor president of
the Woman's Club called spec
lal meeting of the members Tues
day afternoon at three-thirty for
the privilege of hearing Miss
Cloe Jackson, of Atlanta, Execu-
tive Nurse for Raoul Foundation.
Miss Jackson is working with DIR.
Faulkner, Executive Secretary of
the Raoul Foundation. She was
IN the city in the interest of the
anti-tuberculosis cause and gave
a very helpful and interesting talk
explaining the use of the selling
OF the Red Cross Seals and where
and what the funds were used for,
and encouraging the Club to take
up the selling of these seals.
From the statistics given it is GER
talnly worth while to buy these
seals for this cause. Ten per cent
OF the proceeds goes to the nation
al headquarters at Washington,
ninety per cent is used here in
Georgia and half of the proceeds
made here in our city will go to
the helping of this cause in our
city.
The Health Committee of the
Woman's Club have ordered 500
worth of seals sent here for sale
and urge that the public buy these
Red Cross seals to place on their
Christmas packages and all let
tiers, because by helping this cause
it helps themselves to protect
their homes from this dreadful
disease. This is not a charity
cause and the funds will not be
used as charity but to help any
home in our city where this kind
is needed.
This is also an educational fea-
ture and the committee is expect
ing to have the schools take up
the selling, too, and each child
will learn what every stamp
means and what its use and cause
IS. Miss Jackson has just COM
pleted a survey of Albany in the
interest of this Anti Tuberculo-
sis cause and it is hoped that
Fitzgerald can have this survey
done some day.
Previous to the talk by Miss
Jackson, Mrs. Pryor called on
Mrs. George Brown who gave a
few minutes talk on current
events. At the close of the meet
ing Mrs. c. c. Persons, Mrs. E.
A. Russell and Mrs. T. M. Griffin
served hot tea and waters.
Only small number of the
members were present at this
meeting and it is regretted that
more could not have heard this
instructive talk as it is something
everyone should be interested in
and know about.

NOVEL DECORATIONS.

The street decorations during the
progress Of the fair attracted many
favorable comments, being some
thing different from the usual order.
The fve towers along Sixth street,
at intersections, were novel, and we're
representative of the varied indus
tries. The most elaborate and beau
'tiful Of the five was the one at the
Front street intersection, dedicated
to the horticultural industry. This
tower was designed and decorated by
the ladies of the Auxiliary. and from
Q giant horn of plenty apples, peaches,
pears. and other fruit products were
pouring, while festoons OF apples
swung from the tower standards.
Another novel exhibit was the tower
dedicated to the mining industry
Others represented phases OF agri-
culture. one being given to the hop
industry. which is Of considerable
magnitude in the valley. The great
pile Of copper and chronic iron ores
exhibited on Sixth street was a pro-
gressive idea. and showed the visitors
the character Of mineral that Is
bringing a great deal Of wealth into
the district at the present time. This
display was In charge Of a TYPICAL

ing all inquirers about the ores that
were displayed.
