Mrs. B. A. Lincoln Issues Card
Thanking The People For
Donations.

Mrs. b. A.. Lincoln, who is direct
IN the drive being made in Lowndes
county to secure funds for work to
be carried on at various cantonments
throughout the country under the
direction of the Young Women's
Christian Association, has issued O
card thanking the people here fol
their generous support. The total
contributions in the county so far
amount to $355.91. Mrs. Lincoln's
card follows:
Dear Public:
want to thank each one of you
that helped me SO generously in my
report as chairman of the drive made
at the earnest plea of the govern
ment to the Young Women's Chris
tlan Association for. $500 from this
county, to help safeguard the thou
sands of women, morally as well as
physically, that have to work around
the cantonments, and to build Hos
tess Houses, SO that relatives and
friends will have some place of Dig
nifty to meet their soldier relatives.
have until January 1st to COM
plete this work here and in the coun-
tya but SO fer have been short of
teams, due to the busy season, but
will try to finish our canvas after
Xmas.
In this day Of war, we find out
that protection is no longer mans
strong right arm, sheltering his wife
and ch Id, but is an affair of the gov
ernment, upon whom women and
men depend, with discrimination cf
sex, for l'fe and liberty; so, when
our government issues call for
funds for any one thing, it is up to
us to cooperate and not to question.
Those familiar with Bible history
will remember the story of Nehemiah
who upon hearing that Jerusalem,
his beloved city, was in ruins went
to King +Artaxerxes and asked per4
mission to rebuild the walls. He
completed this stupendous task in
fifty-two days, and explained it by
saying: "For the people had a mind
to work"
This is my explanation for the fol
lowing good reports from my teams
in the short time allotted to them:
Mesdames B. A. Lincoln and J.
c. Meadows, St71.26; G. R. Neuman

VISITS MANY RURAL COM.
MUNITlES IN LOwNDEs
COUNTY.
Is Assisted in Work by Super
intendent Stanley and Field
Agent kirlen.

Mr.. 2. l.. Wells, who was recentl,
named by the federal government to
serve as farm demonstration agent
for Clay and Lowndes counties, has
entered actively upon the discharge
of his local duties and has already
organized clubs for farm activities
among the boys and girls in a num-
Der of different rural communities
throughout the county.
Mr. Wells is being assisted in the
work by Prof. E. A. Stanley, super
ntendent of education for Lowndes
county, and Mr.. |. B. Kirlen, who
is state field agent in charge of the
boys corn club movement in this sec-
t on. During the early part of the
week the trio visited the rural
schools at Mount Vernon, Lone Oak,
Woodlawn, Rural Hill, Border
Springs, Stanley, New Salem, Black
Greek and Crawford, and organized
clubs at all these schools. The mem
bers of these clubs have agreed to
devote part of their time during
the coming year to the raising Of
corn, pigs and baby beef. The
adolescents displayed a great deal
Of enthusiasm, and Mr.. Wells and
his associates were fignly pleased
with the cordial reception and assur-
ances of support given them in the
var GUS communities visited.
On Friday Mr.. Wells and his fell
low workers visited Union Academy,
the local public school for negroes,
and made talks to the students in
VIII ch they urged them to cultivate
home gardens and do every thing in
their power to increase the produc-
ton of foodstuffs.
While Mr.. Wells is not advising
local farmers to altogether abandon
the cultivation of cotton, he is urg-
ing them to devote only limited
acreage to the staple and to devote
their activities largely to the culti-
walton Of food crops. A policy of
diversifcation was successfully pur
sued in Lowndes county during the
season which is now nearing its end
but the present high prices of cotton
has induced many farmers to seri-
ously consider the planting of the
staple on a larger scale next spring.
Mr.. Wells will, however, seek to-
discourage this movement and will
urge all citizens engaged
in agricultural pursuits not to aban-
don the policy of diversifration
which has proved such potent fac
tor n bringing prosperity to them.

UNIQUE AMATEUR
SHOW Is ENJOYED
PLAY WRITTEN nv MRS w. D.
LEIGH pREsENTEp THURS.
DAY EVENING.

One Of the most uhqus amgte Il
performances ever given in Colum.
bus was presented at the Columbus
Theatre Thursday evening The
play was written by Mrs. W. +.
Leigh especially for the Patron
Teachers Association Of Barrow
school to raise funds to purchase
supplemental Readers for the grades.
Mrs. Leigh's reputation as an
authoress is known TO her most init
mate friends, but in her modest way.
she scorns publicity. She has been
successful as photo-play writer and
also in arranging amateur perform
ance in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and
in other cities in which she has lived.
This fact assured the success of the
play from the start.
The plot of the show, Opening
Uncle Sans Xmas Stocking" was
cleverly conceived, combining patri-
otir' and Christmas ideas. Christmas
in presenting her gifts to Uncle Sam
calls forth Loyalty, who in turn 8
followed by local bands, pledging al
legience to Uncle Sans. Soldiers
troops of boys with guns, girls with
ags and sailors come trooping from
the stocking. The martial spirit is
relieved Nv the introduction of Mr..
Hoover with farmers and cooks and
Grandmas knitting, Res Cross nurses
pledging physical aid, the Y. M. C.
A. with its moral support, and lit
tie bit of cheer from Xmas fairies
Uncle Sans protectionof the Belgian
girls was not forgotten. The hit of the
play was the introduction of the
slacker, profitier, pascifst and pro-
German. who crept INTO the stocking
in disguise, but whn were promtly
caught by the secret service man.
The devil does his bit in canning all
such kind. The play closes with the
presentation of Victory and Peace
by Father Time as Uncle Sans best
Xmas gift.
The cast of characters was chosen
from pupils and frtnler pulais of
Barrow school. Each did his part 50
well that space forhids the mention
OF each one.
The children taking part In the
play caught the Christmas spirit of
giving others and offered their SER
vices to the Red Cross for i repiti-
ton Of the play early in January.

To sit and sew
all day

"Women's work is never done"
they say, and too often this is true.
To sit and sew all day is firing work,
and often results in headache, back
ache and sometimes kills ambition
and takes away the appetite. The
stomach, liver and bowels need exer-
else, but they don't get it when you
bend all day over needle. When
this sort of work tells on you, you can
find great relief by taking IL. F."
