RALLY At ROSWELL
RAISES ABOVE
HER QUOTA
Wins Liberty Loan Flag In
Rousing Meeting of
Patriots There.

Last Friday night will remain
memorable one to the citizens of
Roswell 1t was Liberty Bond night.
{ Our visiting party on this occasion
was composed of band from Camp
Gordon containing twenty five MEM
bers, several distinguished speakers,
and number of prominent Marietta
citizens. The Red Cross provided a
royal table for these guests And
the visitors manifestly appreciated to
the fullest this supper. The rally
was held in the town auditorium.
This six hundred capacity building
was filled to overflowihgn Perhaps
two or three hundred people were UNI
able to get into the auditorium.
Throughout the evening the camp
Gordon Band provided excellent mu-
sic.
After making few patriotic re-
marks the master of ceremonies in
troduced Judge N. A. Morris. The
Judge spoke clearly and forecfully
for fifteen minutes. Then Major
Screws, of the 319th Field Artillery
from Camp Gordon, delivered an elo-
quent, instructive and appealing adj
dress. The last speaker, DR.. Ell
wood, of the Army Y. NJ C. A, was
not the least. At the close of his
address he made an appeal for Liber-
ty Loan subscribers. In his humor-
Gus and lively way he got hold of
the people and soon extracted from
them a total loan of $1,000. Seven
ty people subscribed the $4,000, an
average subscription of 500 each.
The people of Roswell are to be con-
graduated for their enthusiastic pa
triotism. They are awake to the
needs of the government and are
saying to the German forces, you
shall not pass"
Roswell's Liberty Loan quota was
$4,000. This has been oversub-
scribed. In all two hundred and
seventy-eight people have subscribed
for $31 $50 worth of bonds. And
more subscriptions are coming in.
This means tina Roswell will receive
a handsome honor flag from the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. So, let US
Roswellites fix our eyes on Flag Day
"a da ywhen we shall raise both our
town "Honor Flag" and plain cold
Glory" Let everybody say, Three
Cheers for Roswell"
