A REAL MAN It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds -self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. ETTEVILLE NO 13 VOL XXX. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 11, 1918. Miss Marge Travis is visiting relatives and friends in Atlanta this week.

To the be reaved ones we extend our heartfelt sympathy, and may God bless each one of you and that you may live so as to meet her in that heavenly land. She is gone, but not forgotten; Never will her memory fade; Sweetest thoughts will ever linger Around the grave where she was laid. Leaves have their time to fall And flowers to wither at the north- wind’s breath, And stars to set, but all thou hast All seasons for thine, O Death. One by one our hopes grow brighter As we near the shining shore, For we know across the river Wait the loved ones gone before. THE UNITED CAMPAIGN (Editorial from Atlanta Journal, Sep tember 14, 1918.) IN MEMORY OF SISTER MALLIE BROWN Delegates representing all, of the or ganizations participating in the great “United War Work Campaign” that is to be conducted throughout the country during the week of Novem ber 11th to l$th are now in Atlanta in a state convention planning the de tails of Georgia’s part in the wonder ful movement. Instead of conducting a separate campaign to raise a separate fund for each of the seven principal organiza tions which are engaged in war work at home and overseas, it was agreed that all of them should consolidate .their finances and join together in a single drive for ai single fund to be apportioned among them according to their several and respective needs. This wise plan was approved by Presi dent Wilson in a statement issued by him several weeks ago. The seven organizations participa ting in the united campaign are the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Young Women’s Christian Asso ciation, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Asso ciation, the National Catholic War Council, the Jewish Welfare Board and the Salvation Army. The amount 'to be raised in the campaign dated for November 11th tt> 18th is $1.70,- 500,000—a stupendous sum a few years ago in ordinary times, but now an amount which hardly impresses the mind of a nation already stunned by colossal figures. Georgia’s quota of the fund will be determined by the delegates at their conference now in session here. All of the organizations participat ing in the united campaign are en gaged in work directly connected with the war, and all more or less of a similar nature. In one way or an other each of them concerns itself with, the welfare of America’s soldiers and sailors, at home and abroad. The War Camp Community Service links up the homes of the people in train ing camp cities with the personal life of the boys in the camps. The other organizations go with the soldiers from the training camp entranpe to the front line dugouts. In view of the unity of purpose be hind this work, and in view of the fact that Americans are all one fam ily today as never before, it was both the sensible and tactful policy to con solidate the funds in one big fund, to which the people will be asked to con tribute all they can afford in the hap py assurance that a single gift will suffice for all. Liberty loan campaigns will be coming along at regular intervals. The Red Cross drives will have to be held at least twice a year. War Savings Stamp work is going on constantly. Hence a succession of separate cam paigns were calculated to get in one- another’s way and disturb the balance of financial distribution. The one that came first was likeiy to fare ex ceedingly well, but the one that came j last might fail to get enough for its I actual necessities. Now the Amer ican citizen staying at home and do ing his best to back up the Govern ment, and to make things pleasant for t)ie soldiers and sailors, can write his check for the best he can spare to one common fund, and out of that fund they all get a share according to their needs.
