C. voted at their last meeting to begin a series of teas this week for the benefit of the Red Cross funds, a generous portion of the amount to be given for the yearly support of the “John B. Gordon Bed” in the Ameri can Military Hospital at Neuilly, a suburb of Paris, France. The bed named for the great hero, is used for the care and comfort of sick and wounded American soldiers, and the Georgia Division, U. D. C., has pledg ed $G0() for the annual support.
