 We have a large quantity of clo- thing that will be packed and ship ped this week to the Commission for Relief in Belgium. Everyone through out the county has responded with great bundles of clothing that will warm and make comfortable these poor weary and heart broken French and Belgians. I would like to call attention to the clothing that was donated over two months ago and was taken to the Elks Home and packed, presume. to be shipped somewhere, so that it would reach these unfortunate people. After 1t was packed it was placed on the east porch of the EIks Home and has been standing there ever since, right under the drip and has been taking all the rains. Two ladies moved the boxes containing this clo- thing from under the drip close to the walls, where they would not get so wet It is shame to allow so much good clothing to be ruined when so many of our war-torn sis ters and brothers are in such dire need of clothing If the people who have donated this clothing will turn it over to the Red Cross l will be glad to see that it reaches the use for which it was intended.

 On last Friday evening Miss Lillie Nave Wicker. teacher of the Ebe- nezer School District No. B. and her pupils, gave a box supper for the benefit of the Red Cross. There were thirteen boxes sold and the sum of $194O was realized from the sale, which amount teacher and pupils donated to the Red Cross, and we can assure the teacher and her pupils we greatly appreciate the in terest they have taken in our most worthy cause, and assure them 1t will be a great pleasure to go out and organize them at the earliest possible date.
 We hope to be able to make a very large shipment of hospital sup plies and knitted articles next week. We have now on hand over one thousand finished garments, since we began work. and if the ladies of Marianna who could give their time would do so. just every now and then. we could have had double that amount ready for shipment. We ex pect the soldier boys to give all their time for us. and not only theil time but their lives, and just some time when we really haven't any thing to do whatever, we think oi what we could have done to hell them if we had just the least care or thought of what they are suffer ing for our sake. How strange | seems, so many people are jus bubbling over with patriotism
