Ill
published in daily paper Friday that
dates Of the War Trophies train in
North Carolina had been cancelled, a
large crowd greeted the train at Fair
mont Friday evening, heard with un-
derstanding the messages of the
speakers, responded enthusiastically
to appeals to buy bonds, and crowded
with interest upon the train to see
the big guns and other trophies from
the far-off battle fields. The figures
have not been given out, but it is
safe to say that more than $40, 900
worth of bonds were purchased by the
crowd.

appeal County Chairman R. c. Law
renee was making to the waiting
crowd. From one of the two gun-be-

n ey at fair rate of interest, that

): has the finest soldiers ever seen on
= the face of the earth to do this with,
n whether trained 40 years or 40 days.
= Every Liberty bond, he said, is little
