THE DUNN DISPATCH.: PukHsM Every Thursday j — ' ' -] v->.~V u aMoBidlM matter April lot, 1914. at tha poat «Ow at Duma, N. C.. andar Urn act of March X 1979. Oaa year--- fl.** Six months-- » Htw month*-- J* THE PURPOSE OF THE RED CROSS IN PEACE. The long awaited moment of na tional mrd intirrational triumph haa a'rivcd. The victorious armies of the allied nation* have met the war lenh cf the world and thv result is that the determining Mow for world freedom haa bean struck sad tha na -.00* of the work) arc at last a free people. The Utopian dream of tha rtis has been nceomphshed and to the idealist and the theorist the great work has been accomplished. Amer ica. the land which haa never known defeat ht arms, feels peculiar pleasure ir. the part she has been permitted to piny in the grooteat drama of the agee The Ugh* of triumph, of hap* and of ra Joking shine* over the world. In If glow the shadow which he* eveo in tho path of peace is for a moment forgotten. But the denseness of this awful carnage. To the civilised peo ples of the world sew lies the task •tt bringing the steady brilliance o< recoeatruction Into the darkness which destruction has wrought. T« destroy, wontanly, universally and ruthlessly has been the work of a fan years. To restore, carefully, pains takingly, persistently and thomughl) must b* the work of sll the future— r.o time limit can be set upon this u Kjn w unui Lfcv work is done, an.i here th* Bed '’rose service forth tc meet o wrH -i. rd_ Our nMlw overseas »-» sifll la tho o j lo v of oar govern meet; the nstiocs oversell need the work of every ranc and safe citizen in our world today. This work must be directed co ordinated and distrib uted by the Red Cross. Ths need for clothing to cover the freezing bodies of little erildrcn and their oped relative* in the stricken roun ’ tries abroad; ths need for food for warmth, for help of every sort Is as itejte loelay as ft was a year ago. Red Crcaj workers must remain mob ilized for service. THE PERIOD NOW COMING IS THE REAL TEST OF OUR PA TRIOTISM. Ths nine-days’ drive for War Sev •»*» aisd^Thrm^J^g^sJteh will ,aww lacks for tta . Is $11, 000,090, and it i« expected by the War Saving* Committee that it will bo a very easy matter to collect en ell so pa Id pledges and to receies re quests for aaany more stamps. The fact that pears has been de clared only doubles tho patriotic ciU am's duty to his country, according to members of tho committee. , While there eras the duty a man felt to do his best to aid while the physical fighting wise going on, there la now no danger on the physical side, and a man most do all hs can to help In the reconstruction problem. Thr period wc are coming to aow srfll be the real test of oar patriotism. We are pact the emotional nags resulting from the partlcipatioa In actual hos i ill ties. TV see It hers, and with gra vtude to Almighty God, wo look for ward to tho return of oor loved ones. But with peace comes the problems of reconstruction, and to all members of the War Havings organisation falls tho t««v of keeping daily before ev eryone thr need of nano living in the future a* we have done in the past, since ear was declared.

If net al ways truthful, "obituary notice” for tli Old Home Paper to print la this relume. It has been the cuatoas in the old home town for half a century. There was one notice ia the col umn this week, however, which was of interwet te the former reeidenss af the old home town. It noted the passing of John B. Strong, tha pres ident of the Citisens National Bank “Old Strong, the banker," he haa been called for fifty years." There was no lack of reapset for John B. Strong la tha old homo town, for bo man ever lived there who eras mure highly esteemed. It was said of him that he "cared no more for 'tubes than for his right eye,” bat that was because he was a safe banker and would r.ot lend money to every one who asked for it. Dear old “Aunty” (.aruthers need to nay (and the knew, because she knew more about the tick and poor and the needy ■ban anyone ia town), “None but ■be recording angel knows how much ' '•bat man gives to tho poor.” But tho old home town has a way 1 all its own of bestowing titles on Its 1 citisens, and “Old Strong, the bank er,” it wet during all the days of Joho D. Strong’s life. Whenever there was a mystery In •he old home town, a mystery taootv ing financial matters, tha town nssd | to say: "Nobody knows about it but Old Strong, the banker,* aad be won’t tell." There waa a good many -* —-- non up IB UM vaolu of the CHitens National, and the women are wondering If they will come forth now that “Old Strong" to dead. "Posalbly not,” For “Old Strong, the hanker,” had only two intimate friends in the old homu town. Ooe of them was “Alex” Miller, the town’s eldest lawyer, and “Old Doc” Strick le*. the own's oldest physician. “Alex” Miller departed thto life sev eral yean ago, and Dr. Stridden •lone is left. And when it came to family skeletons. Dr. Stridden knew many of them himself, and if “Old Strong” eves confided a secret with him, it is safe from all fear of revela tion. * So, “Old Strong, the banker,” has gone. A good away of the old-tuners who carried these titles pwii«» to tha vernacular «f the old hoses town «ywtog.fta whg.gf an Hm espgh— VO yeo reeidl tha different «—bk familim in the eld home town, and how they were catalogued and specl led in order to keep the families from being confused? There waa William Smith, who waa designated at “Old Bill,” aod his eon who was married end bad a family, which waa known na the family of “Junior BUI, and there was William Smith, a cousin of “Old BUI” who was called “Quaker Bill," and thero waa still another William Smith in the town, who was a Methodist, and every one in the eld home town knew him as “Shouting Bill." Then, there were two John Bakers 'u the eld home town; they lived there for yean, but they were not re lated. One of them was known as “Old Man” Baker, although he was not an old men, and the other was railed “ Tacts nr" Baker because he lived down by the little furniture factory, bat be worked in a shoe •tore.

In tho eaaoo of children thia ia par ioalarly true, for the child of Bel li and France ia ifcomod entirely ilffematly from the child of the some Mro h> (this country. Hence It it necessary to make the small garments which am aw badly aaodad: the ap rons, tha underwear, even the other garments or wraps mast be adjaatod to the continental aeeda Thia ad justment must be regulated by some cantral agency and it la hapad and believed that Rad Cross Chapters will soon be sent specific Instructions for -work of this kind. It is this work which most at ooco take tha place of surgical drwnringm, for the latter will not be needed except to meet special army ordars. It Is Inspiring to think of the strong chain ef Red Cross Chapters through out the Soatberx Division all woxking together for the common good. Thia chain is a powerful factor in drawing the who la fdnic of civil ina ton beck to its former leva) of seco rity and peace. Every woman wroxk er is an individual Uak In this vast chain and aa say chain is only "at strong as its weakest link," then each woman moat feel that bar per sonal effort ia naedad to strengthen the great work of meonstraetian which America must endorse and en force. • CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR RED CROSS MEMBERS.

Railroad Ave., Dunn, North Carolina. L k . from png* 1) ■mWfctf Mty church. iWvWa of one man counts for m mock as that of another WWra there is eueh a spirit of "dele gates” from all sorts of chore be# end from all parts of the State, whatever action is taken after free and full dis cussion, usually reflects the sentiment I of the denomination in the state ' :at large. Futhanaote, their democratic spir it loads Baptists to have a vary high regard for ths voice of the majority and If a majority of the Convention decides upon a certain policy, a local church, whatever might be its opinion in regard to the matter, usually ac quiesces in the action of the Conven tia, aad falls into tins. In all their history North Carolina Baptiste have been free from factions and dissensions. This doss not mean that they have not often, differed in their views, for they have. Thera is hardly a session of the Coavsntion at which then is not difference of opin ion, and ths hrethran axprsss them selves freely upoa these questions; hat they differ as hrethran, and each man on either side of a question be lieves that the adoption of his views by ths Coavsntion would be arias. If, hownvsr, a majority Is against him be gracafally yields, and goes with the majority. So long as Christian men are prompted to advocate measures because they believe they era right, and are net actuated by a diotrephan spirit, tbsre is net much danger of serious division. Week of the Women. Ths Baptist women of ths State have their separate organisation, and do their work in their own ways Their contributions go through the regular channel* of thnir respective churches and are, of course, counted ia the to tal; but they have missionary socie ties la the local churches and they also have a state meeting which they call “Ths Woman's Missionary Union AnxEiary to the Baptist State Con vention.” As the same of ths organ isation indicates, theirs Is as auxiliary work. The separate erganlxatioa has proven a very wins arrangement. The women contribute more then they otherwise weald, they study missions aad ate intelligent as to the work, aad they act as a aliataius to the church es in their contribution* to miaslen*. The women held their annual state masting la March.
