PRAISE FOR THE RED CROSS

All hail to the Red Cross. 1 wish all the kickers of the Red Cross could have seen what I saw Friday at the depot. A sick soldier boy, one of our own soldier boys being sent to Memphis to the U. s. Hos- pital, who had been sick here in town quite a while, with no one to even give him a cold drink of water. Mrs. J. I. Morris, president of the Red Cross of the county heard of it and soon came to his relief.
 Mrs. Morris accompanied by Mrs. R. L. Nixon had him brought to the depot. She purchased his ticket, and sent some one along to comfort him.
 ! Eve always had high regard for the Red Cross, and 1 am life time member of it, and what Mrs. Morris did for this young soldier is worth thousands of dollars to him, for 1 health is worth more than wealth, so when the Red Cross hat is passed around again don't shake your head The dollar that you give will be as bread cast upon the waters, will be seen many days hence.
 May the good Lord bless the pro.
