When the hour for the meeting ar
rived Mr.. F. NJ. Dickson, Chairman
Of the Bourbon County National De-
fey sc Council. arose and after stating
The object of the meeting in a brief
ara appropriate speech, introduced
Rev. ]. Grey McAllister, of Louisville,
who has for some time acted as sup
ply for the Presbyterian church, who
delivered the invocation. He was
followed by the principal speaker of
the afternoon. Rev DIR. ]. NJ. MaXon,
President of Margaret College, Yer
sa,lles. who in a patriotic speech.
stated the necessity of raising this
fund. and urged Bourbon county peo-
PIE to give literally of their means.
He pointed out what other places
were going TO do, and said that he
wanted to hear that Bourbon county
had not been Jagged in .contribut
ing to the fund that would mean
help and succor to thousands of boys
WHO would some time come out OF
battle wounded and manned. HIS
address was a scholarly one and was
listened to with the most profound
attention.
Following Rev. MaXon, DR.. A. c.
Terwilliger. of the U. S. Army, who
recently married Miss Olive Taul, o.
Paris. gave an interesting address,
in which he told his hearers of the
horrors of the battlefields, as he had
Witnessed them during his stay in
different parts of Europe, and spoke
a. length of the wonderful resources
ard the humanitarian work OF the
RedCross on those CORY fields, and
the many unselfish acts and hero
iSr, of the Red Cross nurses that hal
come under his observation. Dr.
Te-williger's address was a most con-
vircing statement of the urgent need
for preparedness in Red Cross work
for the things that always follow III
the wake of war, and met with the
h4arty approbation of the audience
Ar. Dickson then stated that the
work of making contributions toward
raising the $4,000 for BOURBON
county would be taken up. He gave
the audience to understand that l.
was not a begging game, but that all
were urged to give as freely ana VOL
UNFAIRLY toward the fund as they
felt their means would permit. He
urged that the contributions be maze
a. large as possible, as by that means
only could the required amount Dc
raised quickly, and that while all
were perfectly welcome to contribute
ANYTHING from one dollar up, IL must
be understood that the money couln
not be quickly raised by small con-
tributions. Mr.. Dickson's appeal mao
The desired effect, and when the tel
lers went to work the first contri-
button was for $500. When the
