In the line of march xwere numer ous automobiles and floats of many designs and with wery elaborate tastes, embracing the mational and allied colors in profusion.

Mr. Wilkins organized the county on the school district basis, giving each worker only a ( small territory and urged strenuous work early Mon day with the view to raising the sub scriptions before noon. His workers reported early and the campaign- that was planned for a full week's work was completed in half a day, except for a few who failed to finish. ; The peace news over which every body was joyful had a tendency to make the work easier instead of more difficult after those who were- inclin ed to think that the funds would not be . needed were inf ormed that the needs: had been increased rather than decreased by reason of . the armistice and peace. i-. : . .r'r- '- Henderson county's- quota was $4,200.
