from. Mr.. Smith in his unique
manner and striking stories

The part of the centennial
highway that goes through beat
one, lacks only about four miles
of completing the road. Mr.. jill.
Lewis, the superintend-
ent of the road working has had
quite a job of it clearing out the
right of way and widening the
old road during the shot drouthy
spell of several weeks past. The
high hill on the south side of
Stems Creek on the top of
which the road to Star runs in
a near semi-circle for over one
fourth mile. is now Stunned en-
tirely by fourth mile cut off,
nearly on a low level, and that
too through timber all the way.

Florence, then is to be some
Strengthening of the road be-
tween the Laird and Ben
Therrell property, for a short
distance. 1t is too dry and too
hard job for even the persist

to accomplish during this very
dry spell. But the job will be
done as soon as sufficient mois-
ture softens the hard dirt.
Since the above was written,
there has come at A p. M, a

Appeal for the Red Cross.

Some time ago | was appointed
by the National League for Wo-
mans Service as chairman for
Rankin county. We at once or
ganized a class for study, the
Red Cross First Aid, and have
had it in mind when we got this
we'll started to take up other
work. Some members of the
class thought it would be better
to try one tn ng at a time. But
during the past week my heart
ha3 been stirred by the accounts
of things being done in other
places for the Red Cross, and |
have felt that we are very re-
miss in not doing something,
and doing it now to help our
government, especially our boys
who go so soon to the bloody
trenches of France to undergo
untold hardships, to even give
their lives for home, ard God,
and native land while we sit at
home in ease and plenty to only
read of their heroic sac rifice!
Yesterday received the letter
below which speaks for itself,
and I resolved that this letter
from one of our loyal boys in a
far western state should be
beginning of financial aid for
he Red Cross, and that | would
do my best at once to see that
every man. woman and child in
Rankin county has opportunity
to do his bit" for the comfort
and help of the brave lads who
are SO gladly giving their all.
Ninety-five cents of every dol
lar contributed gets to the field
to do relief work, and is spent
directly for the comfort of the
sick, and wounded and dying. |
hope that every community in
the county will take up this mat
ter at once, and either organize a
Red Cross Auxiliary, or collect
all the money possible and send
it to me, and | will forward it to
the Red Cross at Washington.
Make all CHI cks payable to the
American Red Cross. Let Ran
kin county not be a laggard
in this work, but do its part
handsomely, for no drawer, more
chivalrous soldiers than ours will
be on the battle front to fight in
this great war for humanity. In
less than two hours yesterday
afternoon the following names
were secured by CANVASS by one
person for the organization of a
Red Cross Auxiliary in Brandon,
and we hope to secure many
more:
