People in every walk Of life, from
the~poorest to the richest, have re-
ceived aid at critical times from the
Travellers Aid. That this help is APP
preciated is shown in various ways,
by cards, sent from different points
Of the United States, by an apple or
banana left on the desk Of the

There was an old man with three
motherless little sons who came to
Grcenville from North Carolina
town to secure work here. lie was
unable to find work and the trip
ended with hungry old man sitting
in the railway station surrounded by
three cold and hungry little boys
with no funds. There the Travellers
Aid found him. She supplied him
with a little money and helped him
as best she could and, co-operating
with the Salvation Army, furnished
him and his children lodging and
food for the night. However, next
day the old man, with his hungry
brood. appealed to her again. As he
stood in the station telling her Of
his apprecia, ion OF her kindness to
him in the past and attempting to
devise plans for the future, he and
his family attracted the attention of
crowd OF sailor boys. These sons Of
sailors, had stopped for few min
utes in Greenville on their way from
Boston to Pensacola, Fla. After
they had discovered the old mans
plight they dug their hands into the
pockets of their blue trousers and
soon the old father was happy in
the possession Of money to carry
him back to his North Carolina
home. And Mrs. Ellison was thank
ing the goodhatured sailors for their
assistance in her work.
Bridc-to-Be Aided.
Mrs. Ellison, the other day, re-
ceived a telegram from Greensboro,
\. G., announcing that little BRIDE
to-be was on her way to Greenville
to marry her soldier sweetheart and
asking that Mrs. Ellison chaperone
the young couple. The Travellers ;
Aid met the dainty bride-to-be, who
was exceedingly pretty in rose-col-
ored coat suit and a dear little gray
hat. The girl evidently was relieved
to find a motherly parsonage to lean
upon. There was a happy young
soldier on the scene-he was to be
the bridegroom. The three proceed
ed to the Office of Probate Judge
Scott, secured the marriage license,
and, still under the wing Of Mrs.
Ellison, the young folks went to the
home Of Rev. S. TI Matthews and
were married. AS long as the two
