THE BOYS ARE COMING
HOME SAFE AND SOUND.
The End of the War Shows a Light
Casualty List for Meridian Com
sidering What was Feared.

There is one consoling thought.
The time is pretty near over when we
will hear OF any more deaths Of our
boys over there. II takes about
three weeks for the word to get to
us after the casualty occurs and soon
1t will be three weeks since the fight
ing ceased. What this will mean to
the mothers of the nation words can
not describe. The suspense has been
severe on the parents Of the boys
but the worry is now over. When the
boys will he home is an undecided
matter, but the war department dis
patches this week indicate that none
Of the boys now in France will be
here for Christmas dinner.

THE new TIME.-cHANeE IN SCHEDULE.

Pursuant to Congressional order the
hands on the clocks throughout the
United States will be pushed forward
one hour at midnight Saturday,
and the wheels Of progress and pro-
grams of business and pleasure will
begin the whirl just one hour sooner
from that time forward. This "move-
up" of time will affect the local train
schedule, and the morning train that
has been leaving Natchez at 6:55 will
now leave at 4:55 by the present time,
or 5:55 by new time, and arrive at
points along the line just one hour
earlier by sun time than heretofore.
In other words, instead of reaching
st. Joseph at 8:17 as heretofore by old
time will reach here at 7:17 by old
time, or s:17 by new time-just one
hour earlier by sun time, almost too
soon to get breakfast before leaving
from any point south of Newellton.
The south bound train will likewise
leave Eudora an hour earlier than
present schedule, and consequently
will be due to arrive at st. Joseph ut
3:1s old time, or AIS new time. Just
what hours the banks and post Offices
will adopt has not yet been announced,
but the purpose of the government is
to inspire the public to rise and retire
al hour earlier than present custom in
order to utilize more day Light and
consume less artificial light, again in

owing to the very early hour she will
be compelled to dispatch mail, it will
be impossible for her to handle par
GELS post in the morning, and urges
every one mailing parcels post to send
to office the day before. She will be
required to dispatch her mail by $40

and this will necessitate the making

evening before as far as possible,
hence all letters should be mailed the
evening before in order to facilitate

Clothing and Bedding Needed for Desti.
tute French and Belgians.

New Orleans, Mar. 25, 1918.
Miss Clara Whitney, Chm,
st. Joseph, La.
Dear Miss Whitney,
The American Red Cross has come
to the assistance of the Belgian Relief
in a plan to collect clothes for the
French and Belgians, who are in most
desperate need, as you will see by the
enclosed appeal, which we beg you will
read carefully and bring to the imme-
date attention of your Chapter and
Branches.
We feel sure that the appeal will
meet with an immediate and generous
response. The time appointed for
drive for the Division is between the
1st and the 18th of April. All clothes
collected must'be sent by the 18th.
Our allotment is 300 tons, so to do
our share, it will require the devotion,
sacrifice and energy which'has never
failed the Red Cross. Clothes must be
clean, and not too much worn to be of
use. 1t would be a good plan to ap-
point committee to inspect and pack,
so that clothes too worn or soiled to
be of use may not be sent. "This does
not mean all garments need to be in
perfect repair"
Bedding is especially desirable;
French officers who nave heard from
the occupied districts say that even
those who were once rich and pros
porous have none. This is q unique
opportunity of helping the brave and
unfortunate French and Belgians.
Since the U. 8. Government has ar
ranged for transportation and safety
at the present time, on Belgian Relief
ships, which have a safe conduct, the
things will not be confiscated by the
Germans. Their action in this matter
will be supervised by Spain and other
neutral nations, and at present they
do not wish to offend them.
GIVE this appeal the greatest pub
licity in the local papers. The press
is patriotic, and sure to cooperate.
Collect all the old clothing possible,
and pack in barrels or boxes, and send
by freight prepaid, addressed to "Mrs.
George Denegre, Superintendent of
Refugee Clothing, American Red
Cross, U. s. Mint, New Orleans, La"
and mark carefully, "Second Hand
Refugee Clothing".
This drive is only to last until April
18th, and the Red Cross hopes that it
will not interfere with the regular
work.
Thanking you in advance for your
hearty cooperation, I am,
Very truly yours,
MRS. GEORGE DENEGRE,
Supt. of Refugee Clothing.
