FRIDAY. NOVEMBER l6, 1917
FOR OUR BOYS

90 last Sunday there began
throughout the United States q
campaign for the purpose of rails
ing $35, 00o, 900 to provide com
forts for the boys inthe service of
Uncle Sam,
The CAMPAIGN is in charge of
the national Y. NJ. Q. A. The
governor Of Tennessee designated
November Il to 49, as army aud
navy Y. M @. N. week in Ten.
nessee.
The campaign in Carroll county
is in charge of J. Sam johnson as
chairman and Dr.. B. G. Dodds as
secretary, and was launched last
Sunday by a splendid address de-
igered at the Methodist church BY
Hon. H. >. Spraggins OF Jackson.
The campaign is being waged
all over the county, the allotment
for this county being 81, 800.
The money secured by this cam
paign is going to be devoted to a
work which the army itself is not
prepared to carry on and fight at
the same time. 1t will be spent in
looking after the moral, social and
physical welfare Of the boys who
are fighting or preparing to fight
our battles on foreign soil that we
may be secure 10 our native land.
The army gives the soldier boys
the best medical attention at the
field and base hospitals. The Red
Cross furnishes bandages, nurses
and the best professional attention,
but the Y. NJ. 9. A. money is to
De used for other purposes still.
1t is to furnish men to aid along
moral lines, to protect the boys
from the temptations incident to
army life, to comfort them in their
illness and to give them all the
encouragement and attention pos
sible while recovering from wounds
or illness.
It is truly u worthy cause and
should be given liberal encourage
ments
