REQ CROSS NOTES,

AT the drawing for the Red Cross
horse last Thursday afternoon, tick
ct number 653 was the lucky one
and was held by Miss May Joyce
of Clifton, a sister of Mrs. John l..
Hare, of Alberton. The Auxiliary
realized $624.00 from the donations
and the members wish again to
thank Mr.. John S. Fielder for max.
ing it possible for them to realize
this nice sum as a nucleus for their
war fund activities. not only in the
generous donation of the mare, but
his untiring efforts in soliciting con-
tributions, he having placed fully
one half the tickets. Miss Eva Ed
wards was custodian of the fund,
while Mrs. Terry Ray and several
other ladies were earnestly working
to enlarge this fund, knowing that
every penny would add some com.
fort for our soldier boys.
A number of useful articles have
left at the Red Cross Rooms which
are being hurried across the seas to
give relief as quickly as possible.
We need and can use any other
things that will be sent to us; just
now cotton for quilting purposes is
badly needed and donations in any
quantity will be appreciated.
Those who have recently joined
the Auxiliary will find their men,
bership certificates with Mrs. F. A,
Brown.
One of the incest donations of
last week was quilt sent by Mrs.
Ollie Mcdaniel, K. F. D. No. 2.

the presence of Hon. P. H. Thrasher,

W. Curry Barry came over from
Nashville last Saturday night and
remained until Monday morning
with his mother. This, by the
way, reminds US that mention was
not made in our last issue Of a visit
to the old home by V. D. Barry, of
Nashville, and Chas. L. Barry and
little daughter, Mary Elizabeth, of
Memphis. There is a real pleasure
in having ones children come back
on visits to the home in which they
were born and reared.

cape of Mrs. Jack Tennessee from

where she is staying with her hus-

but fortunately in the end, Mrs.
Tennessee received no hurt nor
lost any of her clothing. The hotel
was large one, but the report did
not state how much of it was
burned.
