The quarterly conference of the Fayetteville charge was held here on Wednesday. It is only two weeks un til the annual conference. “The organization of the county forces for the big drive to raise our quota of the United War Work Fund of $170,500,000 to brighten the lives of our boys who are fighting, is now practically perfected and I anticipate we will go over the top in great shape.” This is the view of R. E. L. Fife, chairman of the United War Work Campaign Committee for this county. He has been asked many questions, however, indicating that everybody does not fuly understand what the United War Work Fund is. “The United War Work Fund is be ing raised at the request of President Wilson, and the funds will be disburs ed under the supervision of the War Department,” he said. “It is to be ex pended through channels with which everyone is already familiar, though they may not recognize these agencies under the name of the United War Work. The fund of this name is to be used in the work of the Y. M. C. A., the. Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War Council; or Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American library Association and the Salvation Army. These organizations have been officialy recognized by the War Department and they are now to be financed by the United War Work Fund. Their work with this fund is to go forward without any relation to any creed or religion or propaganda of any sort. The sole object of these organizations will be to serve the sol diers and sailors.” Continuing, he said: “The fund, when raised, will be apportioned as follows: “Y. M. C. A. $100,000,000. Y. W. C. A., $15,000,000. . “National Catholic War Council, $30,000,000. “Jewish Welfare Board, $3,500,000. “American Library Ai^oc: 500,000. “War Community Service, $15,000, 000. “Salvation Army, $3,500,000.” If you want a, new- SUIT or an OVERCOAT, see our new stock for MEN or BOYS.

R. E. L. FIFE, Chairman. The Baptist church are rejoicing over their fine showing for the year’s work, having raised for all causes nearly $1,500, and are already rais ing funds for B the new year. The Sunday school having raised $20 for state missions last Sunday. Dear News: . We are right here at it. Some job, too, I tell you. About the first thing they put me on here was to go over to Artillery Hill and meet that batch that, came in here from New York. Some lot to break a fellow in on. Thirty- five hundred of them piled in from the Bowery—thugs, dagoes, gunmen, in all a tremendous lot. In the main, though, the troops at Wheeler are as fine a fighting lot as you will find. Tell those folks in Fayette county that write me personal letters asking me to write them personally that I haven't hardly time to eat with ten to twenty thousand troops around here, but I’ll do my best and tell them anything I know about the system of the Y. M. C. A., but ^not to ask me for military information, for I don’t want to go to Fort Leavenworth. This is a great life. Well fed, kept and everything. I sleep in the “Y" building, but I eat as a matte# of choice right with the troops that I may know their life. They are the best cared for troops on the whole globe and the grub is fine. Love to all the folks. WILL HILL. “Y” Headquarters, Camp Wheeler, Cla. Mr. W. N. D. Dixon, Chairman, Fayette County, Fayetteville, Ga. Dear Mr. Dixon: Our records show Fayette has pur chased $12,160.

(IN- 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 nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. IN MEMORY OF MRS MERTIE SLATON.

Her work here was finished. God said come to a house prepared for the faithful. God so fixed it that the hours she had to suffer that no earthly things would bother her, not even the cries of her little children; but few limes while she was so sick did her babies bother her. She would say: “I can hear my babies, but can not. see them.” It is so sad to us nine little children without a mother.
