made to the people of Cherokee
county for their hearty coopera-
tion and generous contributions
for the relief of the flood suffer-
ers in the recent Red Cross drive
for funds.
"By virture of their office, the
mayors of the different towns are
made disaster chairmen in the
various branches of the County
Red Cross organization, and T. E.
Acker in Jacksonville, E. R. Gregg
in Rusk, Dr. J. E. Hill in Alto
and B. B. Brittain in Wells have
led in the campaigns in their re-
spective localities reporting, to
date contributions as follows:
Wells $ 36.00
Alto 89.50
Rusk 234.00
Jacksonville 813.78
"In addition to this, S. W. Lit-
tlejohn of Chronister Lumber Co.
(Forest), sent $104.50 of which
amount $70.25 was contributed
by the negro employes of his mill.
Total for the county reported to
Chester Albritton, Chapter Treas-
urer, is $1278.73.
"Miss Billye Deason has receiv-
ed a large assortment of cloth-
ing, bedding and supplies of
varous kinds. Especially note-
worthy were the donations of the
little church at Black Jack and
of the Rebekah Lodge of Jackson-
ville. Following instructions from
national headquarters these ar-
ticles are all being held here
pending instructions from mid-
western branch as to their dispos-
al.
"In Jacksonville a fine service
was rendered the campaign by
Miss Nora Rhodes and Mrs. Mary
Burton of the telephone company,
assisted by Charlie Wadsworth,
May Wernser, Kathleen McKnight
Dolan Portwood and Lometa
Cowan. Special mention also
should be made Of the benefit
show at the Palace Theatre in
Jacksonville, given through the
kindness of The Dailey Progress,
that city, and W. L. Meadows,
Kenneth Earle, Shepherd Scog-
gin, Gladstone Thompson, Doris
Kilmer and Joy Lowe.
"The newspapers, pastors, S. S.
classes, service clubs, schools, all
have given, some with real sacri-
fice. The largest contribution was
$25, the smallest 10 cents, but all
representing the warm heart of
our citizenship. Our people have
again demonstrated that spirit of
sympathy of suffering humanity
which marks them as worthy fol-
lowers of Him who never turned
a deaf ear to the cry of distress."

Father's got the flu again, so he's
stayed at home;
There's a big brown bottle on the
shelf—
Only thing to break up flu, father
say it is,
And he has to doctor up hisself.
There's a pint of quinine, too, that
you take with it.
Only father hates it, and instead
It's still in the paper box that the
druggist sent
Lvin' way back underneath the
bed.
Ain't that flu an awful thing?
Lucky Pa aint he;
Why, he takes his medicine as nice
Honest, he don't mind a bit—once
he clean forgot
That he took it, and he took it
twice!
Even if he's got the flu, father's
just as brave;
He could take his medicine all
night
And not make a face or groan
'cause it's time for it;
Why, he never even kicks a mit!
