to the recent call of the Salvation
Army for contributions to their Home
Relief Fund campaign throughout the
United States to raise money with
which to continue their great work OF
relieving the weak, the poor, the sick
and the distressed.
Greenwood, Schlater, Money, Min
ter City, Shellmound and Morgan

spective quotas-sweiling the total to
$I,101 .50-40 per cent. more than the
$1500.O00 requested from the good
people of Leflore county. But we re-
gret exceedingly the failure of the
