Sheriff, John M. Spurlock,
made a trip to the 7th district

arrested Tom Halfacre in wild

Halfacre's residence. in the mid
Gle of a large field. From all in
dications the still had been run

have taken any pains to inform
themselves as to whether these sug-

that sanitary conditions are being

welcome. Home.

The biggest thing ever gotten up
! by the Mount Zion people was the
splendid reception or Home Conf
ing" to the boys returned from over
seas, at the splendid country home
of Mr. G. Henly McCutchen on last
Friday evening.
The beautiful lawn and yard as well
as the home was brillinatly lit up by
two Delco plants and the red, white
! and blue decorations were in cvi-
dence, all around. Stretched across
the front veranda were the words,
Welcome Home, artistically draWn
! on canvas that was readable from
the public road. The entire neigh
borhood with their invited guests
turned out in full force to do honor
to our soldier boys and to enjoy the
biggest feast Imaginable. There were
SO soldier boys. II from the lmne-
diate section with about 800 other III
vited guests.
After all had partaken Of this
magnificent spread of chickens and
ham and all the other nice things
that go to make up such a dinner,
there was enough left on the four
long tables to have fed as many
more.
Quite an elaborate program was
arranged and after the invocation
by Rev. H c. Hammond, Mr.. George
McCutchen, in a few we'll chosen and
patriotic remarks welcomed the
boys. In behalf of the boys, Mr.. Ce-
Gil D. Brearlx feelingly and eloquently
responded for the boys to this man

of unalloyed pleasure from start to

not only by the soldier boys, but Dy

Red Cross Home Service.

Atlanta, Aug. 30.-That the work
Of the Home Service Section of the
American Red Cross is ever on the
increase is shown by the report Of
the Bureau Of After Care in the
Southern Division for the month of
July. During the imonth 731 dis
abled soldiers were referred by the
Bureau to the Home Service head
quarters for attention Of this num-
Der 121 were tuberculosis cases bring
ing the total in that class of disability
to 1883 to date. The other 614
cases were for other types of dis
ability; fAom wounds, she'll tshock,
and various other types of breaking
health. In all the number referred
through the Bureau to date is 4,854.
The work Of the Home Section in
cludes not only looking after the dis
abled soldier himself-seeing that his
medical treatment is continued, II
need be: that his financial compen-
sation is properly adjusted. and that
he is afforded vocational training If
desired. 1t also includes looking af-
ter the families of those men where
such care is needed
Lists of men discharged because OF
disability from any camp or hospital
in the Southern Division are now
sent directly to the Bureau Of After
Care at the Division Headquarters in
Atlanta, instead of coming through
national headquarters, and much
time thus is saved H. reaching the
men and the families. All the Red

this work preferred attention, and
