The Red Cross work in all parts of the county is flourishing, and Bain bridge is no longer the leader in this respect. Donalsonville has passed Bainbridge in membership, and now has a separate charter. Brinson has jorgatMaed an auxiliary, and others are in view. The auxiliary at Brinson was or ganized on Wednesday evening of iaat week. Mesdames Frank S. Jones. John E. Donalson, Geo. H. Fields and Rev. J. E. Ward went out from Bain bridge to assit in the work. Rev. F. L. Stokes, Methodist minister at Brin son, intrducted the subject. R«v. J. E. Ward then delivered a most elo quent address on Red Cross work and Its need. Those who heard Mr. Ward say that his effort was one of the best they had ever listened to on this sub ject. Mrs. Donalson also made a very Inspiring talk. After this an auxiliary was organs ized with the following officers: Mist Sallie Jones, chaajjpan;. Mr. • H. B. Harrell, vice-chain£»n; Mtss—Garria and-Mrs. Fleming are those who will Tolbert, treasurer; pad Miss Then relum.

At Donalsonville the Red Cross people arc doing things in big ittyfo County Chairman Sams told them at the time their auxiliary was formed that if they secured ZOO members he would use his influence with the state board to secure a separate charter for Donalsonville. They got the 200 and more and the separate charter was secured. Their membership is now over 400—more than Bainbridge has and they expect to have 500 by Saturday night. They are hustling as only Donalsonville people can, and Bainbridge will have to bestir herself if she doesn’t want to obscured by this progressive little city. It is proposed to organize an auxil iary at Iron City next.

Only seven of the old ones are returned.

Now, this is a matter which has been called to the attention of our correspondents before, and most of them have observed its requirements, but in the past few weeks there has been a growing tendency on the part of some correspondents to leave off their signa tures. Some of the best correspondents we have in the county have done this. We may recognize your handwrit ing and feel sure that the communication is genuine, but we can’t take a chance by publishing something for which no body takes the responsibility. Signing your name doesn’t mean that it will be published or that anybody will know who sent the news from your section, if you don’t want them to know. It simply means that we are protected against printing something and not being able to give our source of information. Unsigned communications have been known to involve papers in damage suits. We want to thank all of our correspondents for their loyalty to the paper and urge that this be continued. We are not represented in many parts of the county where we would like to be, and will be glad to hear from some one in each place, who is willing to undertake the work. All correspondents are urged to confine themselves to news and leave off attempts to be funny at the expense of some young couple in the community. Give us the crop news, school news and other things of interest in your com munity. You will do your people a favor and be helping us too. And remember that YOU MUST SIGN YOUR NAME, and that if you do not your news will not be published. We don’t publish your name, either, remember that. - -THE POST-SEARCH LIGHT
