GRATEFUL FOR
CLINIC SUPPORT

! wish to express my sincere graf
itude to the Columbus and Lowndes
County Chamber of Commerce, the
Board of Supervisors of Lowndes
County, and to the citizens of Colum-
bus and Lowndes county generally, for
their splendid assistance and CO.
operation towards making possible the
continuance Of the Lowndes County
Clinic in Columbus.
No county could do a greater SER
vice, nor spend its money more ju-
Idicioasly thaiI 10 spend 1t in the inter-
est of the public health; and Colum-
bus has responded nobly to the move
ment-not only in establishing a free
venereal clinic, but in general sanitary
work, and as the center of splendid
support of schools.
The Lowndes County Clinic, under
the able guidance of DR.. J. w. Cox,
hopes to carry ON the work toward
the eradication of venereal diseases in
the most effective manner during the
next six months, and every effort will
be exerted in the interest of the gen.
eral public.
The Lowndes County Clinic is in
corporated and conducted not fol
profit. We are not here to make
money. We desire to make it clear
that our supreme interest lies with
welfare of the patients who come tC
the clinic. We desire only that they
receive the best possible care, and that
the general public may be benefited
by the eradication of venereal dis
eases. The only persons who are ac
cepted for treatment at the clinic are
those who are unable to pay the fees
of competent physicians. Patients
are also accepted who are sent to thu
clinic by physicians, by hospitals, o.
by charitable institutions.

dren of Columbus and the Column
bus territory have sent to Santa
Claus through The Dispatch will
be published Sunday.
They have been forwarded to
Santa Claus, and he is now busy
filling the orders of the little tots
of this section.
The letters are full Of human
interest, and the tender innocence
of children. They are the ideas
that come out of the brain of the
little fellows, and their letters
will be interesting reading.
: 1t will do the grown-ups good
to read the Santa Claus letters in
Sundays Dispatch. 1t will take
them back to the good old days
when the Spirit of Christmas and
the Myth of Santa Claus was
abroad in the land for them.
Read the Santa Claus letters
Sunday.
And above all-see that no
child's heart is crushed with bitter
disappointment on Christmas
morning.
The failure of Old Santa to
come to a little child expecting
him is tragedy.
In the name of God, the good
people of Columbus should see
that no child is disappointed on
Christmas morning.

MERIDIAN FORMS
BASEBALL CLUB
Movement Started For Organize
ton OF League In Mississippi
And Alabama.

A movement was launched N South
Mississippi recently looking to the
organization Of baseball league and
as result Of the move the Meridian
baseball assertion was formed the
past week.
1t is proposed to organize a circuit
in this section and Columbus is in
clude in the list of prospective cities
which makeup the league.
Following is a Meridian special
telling of the organization Of the as
ISOLATION there:
Another step has been taken for or
ganized baseball in this city for the
coming season by the partial organi-
cation of the Meridian Baseball as
ISOLATION with Jack Daily as president
and w. A. Anderson as secretary
treasurer. Organization will be per-
fected probably this week by the cleo
ton Of a board of directors and other
officers deemed necessary for the
success of the venture, according to
B. M. Feibelman, member of the
committee appointed by the Board
of Trade and Cotton Exchange at
the get-together meeting and ban
quet held at the Scottish Rite eathed-
raj last Thursday evening.
The next step will be that of the
formation of a league and to this end
meeting is scheduled to be held in
Meridian next Saturday afternoon,
Dec. Is, when it is expected that a
number of baseball representatives
from different cities that may enter
the circuit will be present and the
matter gone into in all of its many
details.
The mon behind the movement in
Meridian are firmly of the opinion
that the time is ripe for the organlza-
tion of tight little league" such as
was the Cotton States League in its
early days when is introduced to the
baseball world some Of the men who
have become famous in the game
since that time and when it afforded
some Of the best baseball spirit In
the country.
1t is believed there is sufficient in
terest already awakened to make the
league go from the start. The
question first to be decided is as L
what cities shall comprise the league
Those suggested up to the present
time are Mobile Gulfport, Hatties
burg, Laurel, Vicksburg, Jackson, Me
ridian, Selma, Columbus, and posi-
bly, Demopols. Whether it shall b.
a six, eight or ten town league, ha'
also to be decided with each of thr
above named places as prospects
Population and patronage must b
considered, of course, as the league i
formed should be one that will sticl
and grow better each season. In thi
way only can there be renewal o
interest in organized baseball in thi
section.

He Immediately went about the work
Of cleaning up the city, and as re-

good has been accomplished.
I One outstanding feature Of the work
of the sanitary officer is the removal
of sixteen persons infected with a
dangerous and dreaded communicable
venereal disease, from hotels, cafes
and restaurants in this city.
/ The sanitary officer has been very
considerate in his work, and everyone
has been given ample time to comply
with the regulations and the laws.
Despite this liberal policy, number
of arrests have been made, and others
will be brought into court promptly if
violations are persisted in.
Following are some Of the things
that have been accomplished since the
creation Of the department Of sanitary
several weeks ago:
