PATRIOTIC BAZAAR CHOLERA
WAS A SUCCESS
PLEASANT EVENING FOR ALL
WHO ATTENDED—NICE SUM
REALIZED.

VETINE./V, ..SENT BY STATE
TO AID IN CHOLERA FIGHT.
The patriotic bazaar held last Fri
day evening under the auspices of the
Civic Improvement Club was a social
and financial success. The store
building in which the baazar was
held was made attractive with red,
white and blue bunting flags and a
profusion of greens. The various
booths were artistically arranged
and the wares displayed in a tempting
manner. All were liberally patron
ized, particularly the kitchen booth
from which the delightfully prepared
supper was served. Assisting the ma
trons who were in charge were quite
a number of the young ladies and
younger girls who contributed much
to the success of the affair.
A pretty patriotic vocal solo was
rendered by Miss Hazel Waters, Miss
Mary Smith accompanying her on the
violin. Miss Audrey Newby gave a
bright, patriotic reading. Miss New
by was unusually attractive in a cos
tume representing America.
To Mrs. E. F. Powell, Mrs. C. C.
McKinley, Mrs. Z. T. Crawford'and
Mrs. E. C. Taylor is largely due the
credit for the success of the occa
sion which resulted in a neat sum be
ing added to the club treasury. Part
of the receipts mil be contributed to
the local Red Cross Chapter.

CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE' DONE
TO FARMS IN VICINITY OF
DRAYTON.
At the last meeting of the .Dooly
County Board of Commissioners it
was decided to ask the state for help
in combating and controling hog
cholera in this county.
In answer to this request, Dr. J. H.
Coffman, one of the Assistant State
Veterinarians arrived here Monday
and will remain here as long as his
services seem necessary. He will
take up the work of vaccinating hogs
against cholera.
In this work carried on by the
state and federal governments the
only expenseHo the farmer is the cost
of the serum used on his herd. Those
wanting their herds treated should
make arrangements either by writing
Dr. Coffman at Vienna or by phoning
to Walton Bros.’ store, Vienna.

The lowering of the tax rate about

Another important action taken by

There seems to have been an im
pression throughout the state that
instead of enlisting now, men should
wait. This impression has been dis
pelled to a great extent as shown by
the record of the Atlanta Recruiting
District. An average of over 40 men
per day have enlisted for the past ten
days. But for the benefit of those
few who are still doubtful, the fol
lowing statement is made by your re
cruiting officer.

resort called Congress together for
the purpose of laying before that

overwhelming majority, declared that

to carry these plans out. Itwas con
