Mr. Hall had just driven into his yard and hitched his horse, when his large 'possum dog leaped into the buggy, and the horse, becoming frightened reared up on his I hind legs, threw his head back and (broke his neck.

A delicious dinner-was served in the old stand of Briggs Mercantile company .yesterday afternoon and evening by the ladies of the Junior Philathea class of the East Durham Baptist church. The menu consisted of a number of inviting dishes, and the culinary art of the ladies was much complimented. Quite a .large number attended. Miss Annie' Khew and Clvde and Hoyle Thacker, of Rougei-jnt, were I Durham visitors yesterday. Just at this season considerable in terest is being taken in 'the movement to get the people aroused as to the wisdom of doing much of their shop ping for Christmas early in order to avoid the rush which has heretofore been so noticeable during the few days preceding Christmas day. The observance of the slogan, "Do your Christmas shopping early," will great ly facilitate the work of the mer? chants and their sales forces; the ad vantages of this plan are obvious and need not be further mentioned. But, the purpose of this article is to awaken in the people a strong sense of their moral obligation to aid as much as : possible in the work Vhich is being done by the Red Cross seals committee of the civic associa tion. In other words, the people of Durham are urged not only to .do their Christmas shopping early, but also to see . that each Christmas package is accompanied by a Red Cross seal. Thus they will aid materially in the work that is being done for the pre vention, care and cure of . tuberculo sis. Seventy-five per cent of the pro ceeds from the sale of these seals goes to the Durham branch of the or ganization; fifteen per cent to the state society and ten per cent to the national society. Every dollar re ceived by the local branch will be used in caring for tubercular pa tients. The ladies of the civic asso ciation are hoping to be able to erect a tuberculosis sanitorium before many months have elapsed. Here persohs afflicted with the disease will be cared for in an efficient manner. Several tubercular patients have been cared for, thanks to the generous as slstaiice of, theatric association. But as there is no institution in Durham where consumptive patients may ba treated, it has been necessary to send these patients to Sanitorium, N. C where the state institution of this character .is located. ... With a .tuberculosis hospital located in or near this city the work will be greatly facilitated. And the great good -which may be accomplished at this institution will be of Inestima ble' value. The rate of mortality in the United States from the "great white plague" is appalling. The good ladies of the civic association, and indeed all of the thoughtful -minded KRONHEIMEE'S Clearance Sale of Coat Suite BEGINS MONDAY Get your Christmas suit at this sale for a bargain price.

EAST DURHAM. and public spirited citizens' of Dur ham are intensely interested in this subject and strenuous efforts will be made to better conditions along this line. The members of the civic as Eociation are working in concert'with the health department and with the commendable ' co-operation of these bodies great things may be expected Now, to return to the question of the seals. Evjefy idollar spent for ana" these Jied Cross seals will hast?n the day when Durham will have a sani torium for tubercular patients. There fore the public is appealed to in this matter and asked to buy largely of the seals and thus aid in the salva tion of those unfortunates who are suffering from tuberculosis. The seals were placed on sale here the first of December and the sales will conUnue throughout the month. ', A window will be secured in the business district of the city; this window will be appropriately and at tractively decorated. And the public will be asked to walk within whero the seals will be on sale. This place will be headquarters for tie seals. Any amount may be purchased here and salesladies will be on hand to at tend to the trade. Mrs. T. D. Jones, president of the civic association, states that the ladies hope to be abla to sell about two thousand dollars worth of these seals. Wilmington sold more seals last year than any other town in the state, but it is hoped that this year Durham will lead. Wednesday, December 8. talks will be made in all of the city schools: the speakers will talk of tuberculosis. Mrs. Jones asserts that it is most 'im perative that the children in the schools acquire definite knowledge at to this dread disease. And Sunday. December 12, the ministers of the city have been asked to preach sermons on the subject of tuberculosis. It is quite likely that this request will be followed by at least a large number of Durham pastors. This request was made by Dr. L. B. Mc Braver, chief of bureau tuberculosis, state board of health. Dr. McBrayer is executive secretary of the Red Cross seal commission of North Carolina and is one of the most effective work ers in the country in the movement .o check the spr4 of tuberculosis. uuiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimb ' i . -- "i 1 " 1 - MB 1 I flews and Advertisements From It ; M EDGEiNT EDGEfilOIIT . i ; 4 B I , !-! !
