DESTITUTE FAMILIES GET SEED THIS WEEK More than a hundred pounds of seed for fall sowing will be distributed to destitute families Saturday by County Farm A gent Hugh Overstreet, from his office in the Court House An nex. Each family will receive an amount of seed in accord ance with the number in that individual family. There will be fifty ounds of rape seed, thirty-five pounds of mustard, and thirty-five pounds of kale. In addition to this there will be five bushels of onion sets for distribution among those left destitute by the hurricane. Every one is urged by Mr. Overstreet to plant all varieties of fall "greens," because prac tically all of the fall and early winter vegetables were destroy ed by the hurricane. This will not only insure food of a veg etable nature during the com ing months, Mr. Overstreet said, but it will tend toward normal health in the stricken areas.
