Miss Ada Mills, Miss Maud Wynnn and Mrs. Leslie Messi- more are now life members.

She is probably Little River County's most jealous patriot. Why should she not be? She has two boys in France, John nd Burton Walker. John is helping to construct the railway system of France and Burton is in The trenches Wi General Pershing's army.

 additions. Rev C. S. Wales made an interes ing address at the Baptist church Sunday night. The women ;(nd girls are busy.
 The drive is still on. Little River county is far behind the quota that has been assigned her.

But we will win. Little River county will do her part What is especially, wanted is for every per son in the county to give $1.OO and join the Red Cross. Big donations are not sought in this drive Mail your check for $1.00 to the secretary, Seth c. Reynolds, at Ashdown at once. This is the peoples war, not the Govern ment's war.
