Red Cross Notes.

One thousand good people of VIII
liamsburg have already answered the
Red Cross Roll Call with a dollar,
and we have just begun calling.
When Gregory the Great was
little boy, he was taught to
answer to his name at the roll
call in school, "Adsum". After
his long and useful life had
been pronounced ended by the ply
sicians and watchers at his bedside,
the last religious rites performed and
the winding sheet had been drawn
over his face, he threw back the sheet
answered, in the same fearless tones
he used in youth, "Adsum".
When the Red Cross Roll Call shall
end at midnight, November 25th, it
is hoped that the records will answer
the name of every man and woman in
Williamsburg county.

should not find you before November
25th, you find the solicitor and join

ton in existence,
