Red Cross Notes.

The largest meeting of ladies
of the Red Cross was held last
Monday afternoon, when a goodly
representation was present from
all the churches and the W. c..
t. u. The purpose of the meet
ing was to arrange for each
society to have charge of the
Red Cross headquarters for one
day a week, which would furnish
a nucleus for a working force
every day. The days have not
yet been all assigned, but by the
first of the month.the plan adopt
ed will be in full force. The Of
fcers do not want the impression
to get out that on the day a GER
tain church is in charge of the
work only such ladies as are
members of that church are ex-
pected to be there. The church
simply has charge of the work
for their particular day, and all
the ladies of any denomination,
or of no denomination, will be
welcomed to the sewing tables
on any of the days when they
feel they can give an hour or
two to the work.
The regular annual meeting of
the Winslow Red Cross Chapter
will be held at headquarters
Tuesday evening, Oct. I'd, and it
is hoped and expected all the
membership will be present. It
is the time for the annual cleo
tion of all the officers for the en-
suing year. Don't forget the
date, and arrange your plans so
you can be present.

LAST CUT FOR
SEWER SYSTEM

This afternoon the McCrary
force is planning to cut through
Main street with their big ma
chine, which will be, we under
stand, the last excavation neces-
sary to be made before the work
is considered finished.
This will be good news to the
people Of this town who have
waited patiently for some sign of
completion of this work, so that
there might be some attempt
made to get the streets in shape,
and those who have expressed
themselves lately that it would be
next winter before the sewerage
work was completed will be the
best pleased Of all.
With a people so alive to the
good things of life to have
streets Of their town in the shape
they are at present, is, to say the
least, exasperating, and still they
know full we'll the absurdity Of
| any Improvement while there
was more cutting to be done.
No then that we begin to see
the light there will be plans afoot
in plenty for the needed street
Improvement that this town sc
sadly needs, and which she SC
richly deserves.
