A letter from the tennessee navy
Comforts League will be OF great in
tarest to all readers to The Herald
and all women of the town and county
are urged to join at once in the splen'
did patriotic work that these women
have engaged upon. Although the
most inland of states-look on the
man and you will find that Tennessee
touches more states than any other
state in the Union-Tennessee has al
WAYS taken a deep interest in all naval
affairs, and has given the nation some
of its best seamen. At once We think
of David Farragu; from East Tennes-
see who won distinction fighting
against his native Southern home, and
Matthew Fontaine Maury, whose name
honors our county. Then from our
own community has come such men
as Admiral Caperton, Col. John Dun
njngton, and our revered congressman
of long ago, Hon. w. C. Whitthorne,
who did so much for the navy while
in Congress. Our martyred Carmack
gave some of his best work to the
navy. 1t seems only natural that Mr..
Padgett should preside over the Nava.
committee today Need We say that
he is expecting hearty sympathy and
help from his home folks? So every
body is urged to come at once and
take full snare in our Comfort work.
1t is Just the work for your Pickup
nice to tuck into your bag when you
90 for visit, good to put in all your
stray minutes. +.l
A number of women gathered in the
Bethel House parlors Tuesday after
noon and began an organization that
is intended to gather in all the county.
Mrs. F. F. Everett was elected chair
man, Mrs. ]. E. Littlefield, secretary,
and Miss Mary Frierson, treasurer.
It was decided to get the Rosenthal
Co. to keep the materials-wool and
needles-on sale, SO that they would
be readily obtainable at all times. 1t
is hoped, too, that set of the ar
ticles can soon be put on exhibition,
that every one can see just how they
should look
We give below the full directions
for the knitting, and we beg taht these
printed directions be cut out and pre-
served for future reference, either for
you, my dear reader, or if not you, for
some friend who may not have The
Herald.
