This is a part of our Red Cross work, and a very acceptable one to the boys. ' Atlanta, Ga. k Oct. 2, 1918. Dear News: I’m on my way home after twenty, five days at Blue Ridge (N. C., train ing school for Y. M. C. A. secreta ries. It has been the greatest experience of my life; the finest gang of men I was ever thrown with. They came from twenty states. The average age was about forty. With a few excep tions (a few like myself), they were college graduates. A goodly number were University graduates from Har vard, Yale, Vanderbilt and Columbia. The faculty are princely men. Every one is a University man, capable of teaching his specialty in the halls of any institution in the land. I say all this to tell you the class of men that the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council is thrusting into its service, that it may be winning, in your judg ment, your hearty support. Mr. John R. Mott, its head, the man the president asked to put this work on, for the Amy and Navy at home and overseas, is said by many in authority to be the greatest Chris tian statesmen in the world except Woodrow Wilson. General Pershing says the Y. M C. A. is adding ten per cent (10%) to the fighting efficiency of his army. That being true, the two hundred million a year it uses is the best money spent in our war program. I go to Camp Wheeler as director of religious work. Since I’ve gotten a vague vision, of the business of this work, by exclamation is: “Who is suf ficient for these things?” Send me the news* to Y. M. C. A. Headquarters, Camp Wheeler. - WILL HILL. Dr. John Huie died at his home in College Park last Thursday and his remains were brouhgt here for burial Saturday. Dr. Huie taught school here for many years, and was held in high esteem by the people of the town and county. He married Miss Roxie Bennett, who died a couple of years ago. His many friends join The News in condolence to the bereaved family. Mr. Thomas C. Nipper died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Nipper, Tuesday after an ill ness of several months’ duration. Mr. Nipper went west a few weeks ago to spend the winter. The climate was unfavorable, and he thought best to return. He gradually grew worse un til his death. “Tommie” was a friend to all and always ready to serve his friends. He was an active member of the Baptist church and Sunday school, and popular with the young people. He was industrious and will be miss ed in the town and community. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. D. Milton, assisted by Rev. Foote and DeBardeleben, Wednesday. His many friends join The News in condolence to the bereaved ‘family. United States Naval Training Camp, Charleston, South Carolina. Fourth Regiment, Company 7, Sec. 1, October 15th, >1918. Chairman Liberty Loan Committee, Fayette County, Fayettpville, Ga. Dear Sir: One of our Fayette County boys gave me The Fayetteville News yes terday, and was glad to note that you have gone “over the top” with the fourth issue. However, put me down for another $50 bond. After hearing addresses by one of our officers this morning couldn’t feel right without doing this. I will just state that this is a won derful branch of the service, and I like it fine; in fact, I like it better each day; our officers are so nice and cour teous to us here. I think I have seen all the Fayette county boys, as well as a lot of other fellows that I knew in Atlanta, so you see this makes a fellow just as though he were at home instead of being at a strange place. I was amused at one of the Fayette boys yesterday, who informed me that he lost $151 the night before in a crap game, this leaving him $1,200 to the good. You can readily see there is more than one way to make and save money. The Y. M. C. A. does lots of good here, on the other hand; yet we are quarantined on account of the “flu,” and don’t have the chance to get full benefit of same as yet. You will find enclosed check paya ble to your Red Cross and would thank you* to deliver same to Mrs. Ar nold; believe she is your secretary. Assuring you that I am putting forth my every effort to do my best in this great cause, with best wishes to all my friends, I am, Sincerely yours, WALTER P. CARNES. The Red Cross was able to help I Mr. Yancey Morgan and Mrs. Good man locate their boys last week. By wiring the Red Cross in their several camps, we got in instant touch with them. We also helped Aunt Margaret Porter (colored) and her sons find out about “Bud” Porter, who was reported dead at Wheeler. We always stand ready to help the families of our sol diers. The mending to do for the soldiers at Camp Gordon has come and will be at the work rooms next Monday. Let every woman who lives to darn and patch come up to the work room and get instruction about the work and then these things can be carried to the homes. The underwear is per fectly clean and sterilized before be ing shipped. RED CROSS NOTES. Army and Navy Young Men’s Christian Association . “With the Colors” October 10, 1918. Dear News: I am glad to say that I am on my way to Berlin, where I have longed to go for about ten months or longer. I hope to eat my Christmas dinner in a Berlin cafe. I hope, in about two months, you all will read about where the Dixie Division went “over the top,” and don’t forget the Dixie Division either; and we won’t forget you. What it takes to go to Berlin the U. S. A. has got it. Yours truly, BARNIE J. McELMANEY. Aberdeen, Ga. Those working at the work rooni3 were: Friday, 11th: Mesdames Goodjoin, W. W. Red- wine, G. W.

Fuller, of Gaj were the guests of the latter’s par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Coleman, the past week. Messrs. Frank and Tom Harper and Mr. John Harper, of Texas, leave Tuesday morning for South Georgia. They will combine business with pleasure as Mr. John Harper contem plates making his home in tha{ sec tion, Mr. C. A. Thornton, one of Fife’s most highly respected citizens, has been on the sick list for the past few days. Miss Mary Coleman, of Atlanta, spent the week-end with Mr. W. I. Coleman and family. One of our “bachelor” boys was heard to remark quite recently to one of Fife’s fairest daughters that cook ing and house-keeping was a lone some job, and he for one, was going to secure a cook at an early date. Look out, girls, some one may have a “proposition” to consider. In spite of the inclemency of the weather a large crowd attended the Liberty loan rally at Fairburn Satur day afternoon, and needless to say, Campbell county went over the top in securing her quota in this great drive. We are sorry to report the illness of our popular physician, Dr. W. R. Camp. We wish for him a speedy re covery. MRS. W. I. COLEMAN’. The army authorities will issue cards to the boys in France; these mailed to their parents and presented to the local Red Cross will entitle them to a cartoon to send overseas for Christmas. These can be obtain ed at the Red Cross work rooms at the Redwine building every afternoon up till November 15th. The packages will have to be in the potsoffice by November 15th. Eighteen of our boys left Tuesday afternoon. There was found to be only one dozen comfort bags on hand out of the hundred-odd that were made originally, so Mrs. John Brogdon and Miss Mary Lynn made the six others Wednesday afternoon. The Red Cross has furnished every one of our boys a comfdrt bag who has left our coun ty. Ord Russian City. Kiev, sometimes called Kieff, is one of the oldesc cities in Russia. It is called the "Mother of Russian cities.” Ecclesiastically and intellectually, Kiev is one of the most important. It was founded before the Christian era. It has nearly one hundred magnificent churches, many of them wtth gilded domes and pinnacles which, viewed from a distance, give the city a strik ingly beautiful appearance. •Maiqajx aqj qjpw luojiuopi isompt ejn sjpoouad pun £ioai ‘sedu joj sournu aqj 'uoi^fa^ jo aSunfluni eqj ‘nmuj, uj jbir pnj oqj o; panno naaq suq uoijuaijv '|C3j)u»p| >soui|y sauiBN Philippines Population.

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 nntii you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. »»»»»»««««<€« BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE, YOUR PROFIT Our line of Hardware, Implements and Gas Engines was never so complete as today.
