MAKES A RECORD
Headquarters Compliments Red
Cross In Tazewell County.
$4,000 Contributed to Fund.
List of New Members Are
Added This Week.

an agricultural county, with no large
towns, the growth of the Chapter
has been unusual. From all we can
learn, it leads all of Southwest Vir-
ginia, and the harmony and energy
with which our people have gone into
Red Cross work is most gratifying.
The eight work rooms in the coun-
ty are turning out splendid garments
and knitting needles are busy in the
hands of the young as we'll as the
old.
To keep this work going (and it
must be kept going) funds must be
had. It is hoped that all who can
will contribute regularly, SO the
Chapter will have something to de-
pend on. Prices are advancing all
the time and an order should be made
now.
The call comes for bed linen and
hospital garments, as fast as they
can be sent, and shipment will be
made from Tazewell soon.

To Organize Chapter in Russell.
Some of our Red Cross workers
wen to Lebanon last Wednesday and
held a meeting. AS yet no chapter
is organized there, but Russell county
people are falling into line and you
may be sure they will do their part.
The week set apart by our Presi-
dent for the raising of the $1OO,OO0,-
600 fund for Red Cross, was half
gone and the fund was secured before
Tazewell county awoke to the fact
that our people must do their part.
A meeting was held here Thursday
night of that week and q committee
composed of B. w. Stras,. A. st.
Clair, and ]. w. Chapman was ap-
pointed to look after the matter in
this district.
Prominent citizens in each district
solicited for the fund, and $4,000 was
sent in through our Red Cross chap
ter. The report here given shows the
RESPONSE of the various districts
TaZeweli, 81, ,o21.UO
Pocahontas, ....... 100000
Graham, ......... 1,025.00
North Tazewell, 838.25
The Cove, .,...... 145.00
Burke's Garden, :. $500
Colored citizens of
Tazewell, ....... 42.00
This amount was not what it should
have been, but it is far better than
nothing and had we gone to work
when other sections did our allotment
would have been raised.
