$2.00 PER YEAR
First Time County Fails To
Meet Quota In Bond Drive
Service Men In Charge Of
Booth Next Saturday
Buy That Bond !
Figures received from the
Federal Reserve Bank, Rich
mond, Va., showed that Macon
county had purchased a total
of $153,634.00 to date In bonds
In the Seventh War Loan Drive,
It has been announced by Gil
mer A. Jones, co-chairman.
The total of "E" bond sales
have reached $92,640.00, which
Is far short of the quota of
9184,000.00 In the "E" bond ser
ies given to Macon county. The
overall quota for the county was
$218,000.00, and if we reach our
quota we will have to buy and
sell $64,368.00 more, and only a
tew more days to go.
Can we look our boys in the
face when they come back when
they know that we have not
kept our talth In them and not
done our share toward helping
win this war by buying war
bonds? Is it asking too much of
the people here at home to de
prive themselves of a few lux
uries and buy a few more bonds
when it is most needed? It can
not be that we are losing In
terest in the boys and not car
ing If they win the war for us,
or is It only negligence?
The bond booth in the Bank
of Franklin Saturday will be
under the supervision of S/Sgt.
Thomas E. Setser, who recent
ly returned from England, and
other service men who have
been giving their service for
their country, as well as buy
ing bonds. Buy bonds Saturday
and show these service men
that you appreciate what they
are doing.

ust a good beginning. "There
ire provisions in the Charter
which may not appeal to all
3f us", he said, but, "if we
