SINKING SPRING

Orbin Stallard's friends and rel
atives here were sorry to learn of his
death, which occurred in Virginia
last week We learn that his death
was from influenza.
Our road supervisor has had a
splendid approach made to the new
Little Chuckey bridge, but the dirt
or fill just at the end needs raising
as it has gone down at the end Of the
bridge. Mr. Cutshawl has made ar
rangements for this repair, and when
it is done it will add very materially
in approaching the bridge. We think
the county court could do a great
deal worse than to re-elect Mr.. Cut

RED CROSS SANTA 1C
FILL SOLDIERS SOCKS
An Old Fashioned Celebration Of
YuIetide for American
Soldiers in France,

A Christmas tree in every ward OF
every American hospital and in every
hospital recreation hut in France!
Every wounded or sick American
fighting man to receive two socks filled
to the brim with fruits, nuts, candy
and smokes!
These are the most interesting fea-
lures of tentative Christmas celebra-
ton program for the American hos
pitfalls arranged by the American Red
Cross In France in cooperation with
the commanding officers of our fighting
forces In that country. Details of the
plan to make Christmas as merry as
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutiOns have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share In the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because of the limited
amount of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don Its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients In France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense Of the word.
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will be tied with
red ribbon and in addition to the good
les mentioned above will contain
handkerchief and card, on which
will be outlined the services the Amer
lean Red Cross is prepared to render
our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive sufficient number of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to en-
able him to write to members Of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course will
be one Of the features Of the celebra-
ton. After dinner there will be
musical entertainment, motion pic
lures and general singing.
