 Mrs, S. L. Ledbetter, city chairman of the woman's division, announces that only 5000 remains to be raised by the women of the amount they agreed to raise and is confident of going over the top in the task she has undertaken, while the Ensley women also send word that they will come to the goal they have set in this campaign.
