fifVES HER LAST DOL
- LAR TO REO GROSS.
That was a pathetic- scene when
Irs. Letty Shook, a gray haired old
lady, walked into Red Cross head
quarters Honday morning and told
. J, Dills, Chm., that she only had
one dollar, but she wanted to do
SQrifething for the Red Cross because
she bad a son in France who was
wounded and she wanted to jdo all
sb0 pould for the great organization
that is caring for her boy while in a
foreign land.
; w. s. 8.- -
Mrs,. R. R. Fisher f Addie was
here Wednesday.
( tJV,JE. Crawford of Cullowhee was
iniiylya last-week and subscribed
foflie Journal.
One of the busiest weeks ever
Spent ty the peopje of Dillsboro was
the one that has just-passed, begin
ning May 20th and ending May 27th.
Every man woman and child
has been glad to do his part and
Dillsboro . has gone "Over the Top''
The Red Cross War Fund Drive has
met with success everywhere but
in no city, town o village has more
interest been shown or more en
thusiasm beenaroused.
Thursday night an ice cream
supper was given and the proceeds
were one hundred and twenty sev
en dollars. A cake which- brought
$70.60, was given to the prettiest
girl.
All day Saturday the ladies serv
ed lunches on the streets. Attrac
tive young women, dressed in the
Red Cross cotume, met the trains
with trays of good things to eat.
Lunch was not served in 'the homes
that day but everybody had a cup
of coffee, a sandwich and a piece of
pie at the Red Cross counter. At
the end of the day one hundred and
ten dollars were in the hands of our
treasurer.
Monday morning at t ten o'clock,
every car in town, beautifully dec
orated, left the dep )t, drove through
Sylva, Beta, Addie and Webster
distributing circulars which adver
tised a rally to" be held that night.
Hon Felix E. Alley, of Waynes
ville, delivered a patriotic address
and told -of the wonderful work be4
ing done by the Red Oross every-
where and especially for our boys
"over there."
Miss Dorothy Moore and RalpL
Jarrett were the soloists of the even
ing. One of the' most attractive
features was the music furnished by
our colored band. They ave been
organized just a short time, but
their music would have done credit
to a veteian band. Several selec
tions were given by Mr. Biddix and
Mrs. C. A. Bumgarner on the violin
and banjo.
The school house lawn was bril
liantly lighted and ice-cream, cake,
lemonade, candy and watermelons
were sold. Everybody took a chance
at the lavalier, the, clock, the ten
pound box of home-made candies
and the pig, donated by Mr. Frank
I. Watson. The merrymaking lasted
until everything was disposed ,of
and our treasury was one hundred
dollars greater. ; ;
Dillsboro was assessed four hun
dred dollars, but through the untir
ing efforts of her people anil the
generosity of her citizens, whose
subscriptions varied from ten cents
to one hundred dollars, she has gone
"over the top" at least three hun
dred and twenty-five dollars more
than ber quot
