One of the busiest weeks ever
spent by the people of Dillsboro was
the one that has just passed, begin
ming May 10th and ending May 9th.
Every man woman and child
has been glad to do his part and
Dillsboro has gone "Over the Top
The Red Cross War Fund Drive has
met with success everywhere but
in no city. town or village has more
interest been shown or more en-
thusiasm been aroused.
Thursday night an ice cream
supper was given and the proceeds
were one hundred and twenty sew
en- dollars. A cake which brought
$7O.60, was given to the prettiest
girl.
All day Saturday the ladies serv-
ed lunches on the streets. Attrac-
tive young women. dressed in the
Red Cross costume, met the trains
with trays of good things to eat.
Lunch was not served in the homes
that day but everybody had a cup
of coffee, a sandwich and piece of
pie at the Red Cross counter. At
the end of the day one hundred and
ten dollars were in the hands of our
treasurer.
Monday morning at ten o'clock,
every car in town, beautifully dec
GRATED, left the depot, drove through
Sylvia, Beta, Addie and Webster
distributing circulars which adver-
tised rally to be held that night.
Hon Felix E. Alley, of Waynes-
vile, delivered a patriotic address
and told of the wonderful work be.
ling done by the Red Cross every.
where and especially for our boys

Miss Dorothy Moore and Ralph
Jarrett were the soloists of the even
ing. One of the most attractive
features was the music furnished by
our colored band, They have beer
organized just a short time, bu
their music would have done credi
to veteran band. Several selec
tons were given by Mr.. Biddix ant
Mrs. C. A. Bumgarner on the violil
and banjo.
The school house lawn was bril-
liantly lighted and ice-cream. cake
lemonade. candy and watermelon
were sold. Everybody took chanc

and the pig, donated by Mr.. Fran
II. Watson. The Rerrymaking Taste
until everything was disposed
and our treasury was one hundre
:. dollars greater.
Dillsboro was assessed four hui
! dred dollars, but through the unit
, ing efforts of her people and tt
3 generosity of her citizens, who'
=, subscriptions varied from ten cen
to one hundred dollars, she has goI
"over the top" at least three hu
dred and twenty-five dollars mo
than her quot.

GIVES HER LAST DOL
Lar TO RED CROSS.

That was a pathetic scene when
Mrs. Lefty Shook, gray haired old
lady, walked into Red Cross head
quarters Monday morning and told
A. j. Dills, Chm, that she only had
one dollar, but she wanted to do
something for the Red Cross because
she had son in France who was
wounded and she wanted to do all
she could for the great organization
that is caring for her boy while in
foreign land.
