COME ON PEOPLE! SANTA CLAUS HAS HIS HEADQUARTERS HERE THE GOOD THINGS ARE GOING FAST YOU CAN GET A GOOD SELECTION YET You cannot afford to buy your Xmas Presents without seeing our stock Red Cross Seals . In Cochran Every year at Chiistmaatide the American Red Croas Society prepares a Christmas sea!, which is useful in fastening the paper flaps of Christ mas parcels and envelopes which are sent by mail and these seals are sold to the public at one cent each, the money realized from the sale being used in the light against tuberculo sis made by the societies striving for the prevention of tuberculosis. There are six of these associations at work in Georgia, and they want to sell 2,(XX),(XX) seals ita Georgia this year. When we consider the great numbers suffering from this dread disease in Georgia, we cannot think that 820,000 expended in this cause in using these seals is extravagant, as the principal source of revenue of the 500 volunteer associations at work in the United States is the lit the Red Cross seals. Everyone in Cochran should fed a sense of personal reproach when it is known that last year less than 85.(X) worth of these seate were list'd in this city. The expenditures rep resented by these seals on mail mat ter received here last year would, no doubt, have trebled this amount. Suiely Cochran should send away on mail matter seals representing a greater amount than 85.00. Paut experience has shown that every twenty dollars invested in t&eee seals saves a life. When we. tihink of the number of lives sacrificediby this community to this “great white plague, ’ ’ ought we not to> ieel it our duty to save at least oae lift this year. In the absence »£ an agent in this county to sell these seali the hanks, which are always interested in the welfare of the community and are ever ready to help with a cause of this kind, have been asked by the state agents to attempt the sale of these seals. They can be bought at the Cochran Banking Co. and the First National Back, Boys, we have that present you want for your best girl. Young ladies, will assist and suggest something for your beau. Papa, come and get something for your wife. Mamma, come and get Santa Claus for your little darlings. L. B. KENNINGTON “The man who appreciates your business.” PURSER SCHOOL ITEMS Mr. I. A.
