GIFTS THAT ARE KEPT.

So many of the things people give
for Christmas are of so little inter-
est and value that they are put away
out of sight before New Years Day
They become junk in week.
1t is never so with photographs of
friends. The photograph is welcomed
with delight and preserved indefinite
ly.
What thing do you value most,
coming from friend or relative you
have not seen for years? Isn't it n
photograph? That is the thing that
brings you and the absent friend
closest together and renews the ac-
quaintance most effectually.
You have time to make an appoint
ment with us and have the pictures
made, and what easier way is there
of remembering dozen or a score
of friends?
The price, you know, can be made
to suit you.

WHYINDIFFERENT
TO RED CROSS?
People Taking Little or No In.
terest in Campaign Now in
Progress-Money Will Be
Spent in the County.

1t is exceedingly regrettable that
some people of Tazewell County are
taking so little interest in the Red
Cross Campaign now going on. They
try to excuse threir indifference in
the matter by saying that the war
Is over and that no Red Cross work
is needed. 1t has been explained
through the papers and many other
ways that the object of the member
ship campaign was primarily for
raising funds to meet the expenses
of our Red Cross nurse who is doing
such splendid work in the county.
The committee who is in charge
of this campaign believes that Ig-
norance and not Indifference is re-
sponsible for some of the old men,
bers not paying their dues and others
refusing. to become members of the
Tazewell County Chapter.
There has never been q call made
on the people of the county, when
they understood and believed it was
a worthy one that they did not re-
spond willingly and literally. Do you
not think that any effort, no matter
from what source, that is being put
forth to improve the health and de-
velopment of your children is a most
worthy cause and worthy of your
moral and financial support? You
approve and indorse the work of
your Demonstration who is doing in
valuable work in the county, are your
lands and cattle of more Importance
than your children?
Let us look ut the matter in prac-
tical, common, humanitarian sense
and ask ourselves this question. Am
I not willing to give my children as
fair chance to make good as 1 am
my lands and cattle? If you are
willing to support an organization
whose chief aim is to aid in every
possible way the proper development
of your children, improve the living
and sanitary conditions of your COM
munity, relieve the suffering of the
poor, the aged and infrm; if you are
interested in these things, you will
prove it by paying your membership
dues of $1.00 at once.
Unfortunately for the world and
mankind, unfortunately for. them
pie are so selfish, SO self centered,
so Indifferent, they turn deaf ear
to every appeal no matter how
worthy the cause.
Fortunately for the world and hu-
manity, fortunately for Tazewell
county and her children there are a
fine lot of useful, unselfish public
spirited men and women. who are
giving willingly and literally of their
time and money to every cause that
has for its aim and object the better
ment of the world, the improvement
of this county and the proper de-
velopment of their children.
Don't wait, send your dollar at
once to your local chairman and lets
do the thing up right.

Roll Call Chairman.

SALVATION ARMY AIDS IN SALE
OF CHRISTMAS SEALS.

Richmond, Nov. 25.-The Virginia
tuberculosis Association has receiv-
ed letter from Commander Evan
geline Booth ofg the Salvation Army
stating that her army numbering be-
tween 10000 and 10000 men and
women will take an active part in
the sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals. She writes that she has of
late been giving much thought to
this disease which takes toll of so
many lives each year, and states
that of the 100000 active and sus-
pected cases of tuberculosis in this
country by far the larger number
are among the poor, the very classes
to which the Salvation Army has
been administering for 40 years. We
Salvationists we'll know of the terri
ible ravages caused by tuberculosis
amongst the poor. For their sakes
we want to help stamp out this ma
tional menace, Moreover, remember
that no one is really safe so long as
our slums and poor districts remain
vcritable breeding places of tubercu:-
osis."
Commander Booth has sent out in
structions to the officers of the Sal
vation Army all over the country to
give the evening service OH Wednes-
day, December 9Th, and all of the
following day to the sale of the lit
tie seals which play so big part in
furthering the anti-tuberculosis fight.
Miss Booth will herself man a seal
station in New York. 1t will be
known as "The Booth Booth"
Besides requesting this co-opera-
ton, Commander Booth has written
Commissioned Estill and others of
the Salvation Army as follows: "Be-
cause our contributions cannot be
very great is no reason why we
should not do all we can-and. DO
that everywhere. 1 have thought,
too, that every one of our officers
might set n fine exampel by Just
buying personally twenty-five seals
each week. This would cost but a
quarter n week and the officer would
be poor indeed who could not give
that trine out of his own pocket
for two, three or even four weeks"
In concluding her letter to the Army
officials Msis Booth writes: "Then
too, it is so much akin to our work
of mercy and help that we shall feel
fully at home when giving helpful
lift like this"

WITHOUT WATER
ELEVEN DAYS
Thousands of Refugees Hoarded
on Ships Like Cattle Without
Bread or Medical Attend
ance-Many Lose Minds.

Constantinople, Nov. 22.-The con-
dition of the refugees aboard the 90
or more ships strung along the Bos-
phorus is appalling and II terrible
catastrophe is feared unless the
promptest measures are taken to
land the thousands who are writhing
in misery and pain. The correspond
ent visited several of these "ioat.
ing hospitals and mad houses" today
and returned to shore with forebod-
ings of impending calamity. None of
the refugees has rs yet been taken
ashore, excepting the sick and dis
eased and the insane, the latter of
whom have been extremely numerous.
AS the correspondent rode across
the Bosphorus an unpleasant smell
from the ships was apparent, not
withstanding Il strong, cold sea
breeze. An American relief officer ne
companicd him. AS soon as the pair
boarded the ships the clothing of
both was virtually torn off by half
maddened refugees who begged to
be taken to land on the open hills
which border the Bosphorus.
All Hcrdcd Together.
Men, women and children, regard
less of age or sex, are herdcd together
promiscuously on the ships day and
night in state of appalling filth
and misery. Many women of distin-
guished demeanor despite their bed
ragled appearance, offered to barter
their valuables, jewels and furs for
n crust of bread or glass OF water.
In some cases the refugees have been
without water for II days.
The correspondent heard that there
had been numerous suicides of des-
peratc refugees going insane during
the night hours. They spoke of ghast-
ly temptation and the sobbing call of
the sea mt night when they were
dying with thirst. Many of the re-
fugees were restrained from jump
ing overheard but many succeeded.
Navy Assisting.
The American navy is assisting in
transporting sick women to hospitals
and the near east relief also hus
been prominent in the work. War
hardened relief nurses were moved
to tears by maddcncd mothers offer
ing their children to visitors and the
scenes of separation have been be-
yond description.
The death rate has been abnormal
as the result of the biting cold and
the lack of food. The American Red
Cross is Offering 10000 rations daily
and several Americans are Offering
donations and subscriptions.
The French government which is
in full charge of the relief work, is
incapable of dealing with the situa-
tion and is appealing to the near
east relief, whose funds are limited
The fear was expressed by the ships
officers that cases of cannibalism
would occur unless food supplies are
received promptly. In many cases
they had to fight off maddened men
from Staying children, they declared
The American hospital in Stamboul
is crowded to suffocation and the
American Red Cross is giving all its
available medical supplies.

and the weather stormy.
On this trip to the old home ran
afoul of the worst storm ever, and
to make bad conditions worse, l
caught a very severe cold, or it
caught me, doesn't matter which. The

deacon, made vacant by the death OF
his father, one of the truest men and
best friends any church or any man
ever had. His son will fill the vacancy
successfully, and honor the memory

DR.. Taylor brought up from Hollins
a number of the leading members of

number of good singers, who added
greatly to the interest of the occa-

has been supt. of the Sunday school

Magistrate for ever so long, and a
true man he is. This "Mountain
Squire" like Justice John of Rich

common sense, claw or no law" he
says, and his decisions, and rulings
are generally satisfactory. At Sunday
school the following Sunday. / was
called on as usual, and made "a few
