12 PAGES TODAY VOL. 2 NUMBER PLEDGES FEATURED DRIVE IN BARTOW COUNTY Chairman Norris Reports Total Subscription of $10,745.66, With Others Yet to Come In. The United War Work campaign dosed Wednesday evening, but it is still impossible to give the exact re sult of the campaign in Bartow county, because a number of committee chair men have not made their final reports. Service at First Baptist Church. A largely, attended union service was held last Sunday morning at the First Baptist church, and the speakers were Rev. L. G. Hames, Mr. Bingham, a f “Y” worker, and Judge G. H. Aubrey. Mrs. Bingham rendered several very delightful selections on her violin, Mrs. Harry Womelsdorf accompanying her on the piano. A number of handsome pledges were secured at this meeting, and additional enthusiasm was injected into the cam paign. The following statement from Chair man Norris gives the result in a very succinct manner: To the People of Bartow County: It is impossible for me to make more than a general statement at this time .as to the amount raised in Bartow county for the United W r ar Work fund. Some of the districts will not be able to have their final returns In my hands before Saturday of this week. We have on hand in cash the sum of $7,300.07, and have on had in addition, pledge cards, $2,352.59.' We have sub scribed an additional amount wliith has not been received here but which is in the hands of the local captains in the various districts, the sum of $1,193'. This makes a certain subscription of $10,745.66 known up to Thursday morn ing. W'e will hope that additional sub scriptions from various sources, yet to come in, will be sufficient to increase this amount by $2,000. so that we may bo able to report a subscription from Bartow county of $12,750. Georgia as a whole has already sub scribed its quota and was the eighth state in the Union to go over the top and will therefore have one of the two thousand Y. M. C. A. huts in France named ‘•Georgia.” Ours will be the only Southern state among the exeven which will have a hut named after the states which were the first to go over the top in this drive. All workers and all contributors aided materially in producing this result, and we should feel particularly proud that our home boys will have a Y. M. C. A. hut in France at their disposal known throughout the world as 'Georgia.” We will publish the names and a mounts of the contributors if possible next week. It may be impossible to get the long list of names ready for the press in time for publication before the first week in December. However, we hope to be able to let you see in next week’s paper that Bartow county prob ably has more contributors to this fund than any other county of simi lar size in the state. This is a distinct compliment to the patriotism, energy an devotion of the great number of workers who have given the last ten days almost exclusively to soliciting and collecting for this fund. 1 desire to express my appreciation, and I am sure I express the apprecia tion of every loyal citizen in the county to all of the workers in the various districts in our county for the untir ing efforts in behalf of tin? success of this drive. It has been a pleasure to be associated with people whose enthusi asm in behalf of the boys in France is so whole-hearted, unselfish and un tiring. No matter what may be the re suits of the final count, the money col lected for tliis cause will contribute more to the welfare, comfort and pleas ure of our boys across the water than any other fund ever raised in the county. Yours respectfully, J. T. NORRIS, Chairman.

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS CARTERSVILLE, GA., NOVEMBER 21, 1918 TWO SERVICES IN CARTERSVILLE THANKSGIVING In the M t-mng People Will Gather at Methodist Church, and in the Evening at the First Baptist Church for Union Services. At a meeting of the pastors of Car tessville, held Wednesday morning of this week, it was decided to hold two services on next Thursday, the day which has been proclaimed as the an nual Thanksgiving Day by the Presi dent. The first service will be held in the morning in the Sam Jones Memorial church, beginning at ten oclock. At this hour, Dr. C. Lamar McGinty, pastor of the First Baptist church, will preach the annual Thanksgiving ser mon, and the music will be in charge of the choir of this church. In the evening, the second union service of the day will be held at the First Baptist ehruch, with Rev. L. G. Hames, pastor of the Presbyterian church in charge. The musical program for this service will be arranged by the members of the choir of the Bap tist church. Representatives of the Cartersville churches, including Judge G. H. Aubrey, and Messrs. M. L. Fleetwood and J. W. Jackson, will give short talks of interest to the congre gation present that evening. fg After some consideration of the whole matter, it was thought best by those having the preparations in charge to hold two services, because of the momentous events of the year. This is somewhat of a departure from the usual custom, and it should be clearly understood there will be two ■services, the one in the morning at the Methodist church, and in the evening at the. First Baptist church. DOCTORS WILL VISIT SCHOOLS FOR INSPECTION Board of Education Invites Phy sicians of City to Examine Pupils and Make Recommen dations. With the idea of preventing the spread of influenza, the Board of Edu cation has invited the physicians of Cartersville to visit the schools of the city each day, and consult wtih the teachers regarding any possibility of pupils being affected with the malady. Dr. Griffin agreed to go on Thurs day of this week, Dr. Adair on Friday, Dr. Felton Monday, Dr. Wilson Tues day and Dr. Greaene Wednesday. These physicians have cheefuliy agreed to give of their time in order to visit the school rooms every day. Upon these visits the doctirs will as certain whether the pupils themselves are in condition to spread the malady. Should this condition be Lund, they will be sent home, there to remain until all danger is passed. This is the first step undertaken by the Board of Education to safeguard the health of the pupils, but others are now under consideration, full details of which will be announced later.

To all of these ser vices, tlie general public is most cor dially invited, and plans are being made to take care of all who care 1o hear this distinguished Southern lay man. Many of the people of "Cartersville remember an inspiring address deliver ed here by Mr. Henderson in the spring of 1917 in connection with a school for preachers and Christian workers, held at the First Bapist church. It is hop ed that an especiaaly large represen tation of the church will hear him at the eleven o’clock hour next Sunday, and all others will be cordially Wel lcome.

The pas tor earnestly requests a hearty co operation of all the members of the church in proecuting this plan. ODD FELLOWS AND MASONS SOON WILL HAVE A NEW HALL Committees From These Or ganizations Close Contract With W. C. Walton, Who Will Arrange Building on East Main Street. It was anounced this week that ten tative agreements had been entered in to by committees representing the Car tersville Lodge of Masons and Odd Fellow's and Mr. W. C. Walton, where by these fraternal organizations have secured the quarters formerly used by the Y. M. C. A., in the Walton build ing on East Main street. The owner has signified his intention of making any change desired by these lodges, and it is expected they w'ili ’take charge about the first of next year. The Masons have met for years in the upstairs of the building located on the corner of West Main and Erwin street, while the Odd Fellows now have quarters with the K. of P.’s in the latter’s hall on Bank Block. In their new quarters, the members of both these active organizations will have ample room to carry on their de gree work, and when the finishing touches are put on, will have a meet ing place second to none in North Georgia. Lost SSOO and Got It Back One day last week Mr. Lark Bishop lost his pocketbook containing $500.05 which represented collections made during the day. Naturally enough lie was greatly concerned and sorely dis tressed, for it rarely happens that lost money is ever found by '.he right per son. But in this case it was different. Mr. W. S. Knight passed along over the same road that Mr. Bishop had gone over a little while later and picked it up. He carried it to the photogra phy shop of Mr. J. A. Morris and in formed Mr. Morris of it, who assisted him in counting ft. A little while later Mr. Bishop came along, made known hir loss, having discovered it only a few minutes before, and then Mr. Knight informed him that Mr. Morris and himself was at that very time en geged in counting it . It was at once restored to Mr. Bishop who heaved a great sigh of relief and sought rest by sitting down, for he had covered quite a large lot of territory in undertaking to retrace his steps to find the money. Only a few months beck Mr. J. M EVERY SOLDIER ! CERTAIN TO GET ! XMAS PACKAGE New Ruling Issued This Week Extends Time For Mailing To November 30th., and Issuance Of Duplicate La bels In order to insure the receipt of a Christmas parcel by every single man in the American Expeditionary Forces, the War Department has ex tended the time of mailing for over seas packages until November 30th, and has authorized the American Red Cross to have printed sufficient additional Christmas labels exactly similar to those received from abroad which were distributed to the men abroad. In many cases these labels have been lost in transit and the rela tive of each man in the A. E. F. may obtain from the Red Cross Chapter a duplicate label provided the original has not appeared by November 21st. Applications for these duplicate labels should make a written state ment to the effect that he or she is the nearest living relative in the United States of the man to whom the package is to be sent, that he or she has not re ceived a label from abroad, that should such a label be received it would not be used and that to the best of his or her knowledge or belief only one pack age will be seat to the.proposed recip ient. This extension of the time limit and the issuing of duplicate Christmas la bels absolutely insures a Christmas package to every man in the service in Europe. The Cartersville Chapter received these duplicate labels on Thursday of this week, and Mrs. W. W. Daves ,s in charge of this work. Applications to her will receive immediate attention. QUESTIONNAIRES TO BE ANSWERED BY REGISTRANTS Local Board Send Out Querries To All Who Registered Sep tember 12th, and Who Were Between 18 and 19 Years. The Local Board for Bartow County has sent out questionnaires to all reg- ’ istrants of September 12th, who were between the ages of eighteen and nine teen years of age on that date. This action is m compliance with instructions sent out from the office of the provost marshal general. These questionnaires must be filled out and returned in the seven-day period, as in the past, and heavy penalties are provided for any failure to comply with this ruling. There will be no physical examina tion of these registrants, it is under stood, at this time but the Government desires to get the information for fu ture reference. All registrants above 36 years old. who received their questionnaires, were ordered to return them to the local board unanswered. This order resulted in -some confusion, as a result of which a number of the 18-to-19 yeaf old reg istrants have sent their .papers back unanswered. Of course, this entailed additional work upon the Local Board, which immediately remailed the ques tionnaires, and it expects to receive them back within the seven-day period. The local advisory board will be in session at the court house on Friday and Saturday of this week, when it is expected that praetiealy all of the three hundred and thirty-seven registrants affected will appear for assistance from this board, the chairman of which is Hon. John T. Norris. Knight, father of W. S. Knight, found a pocketbook containing $15.00, brought it to the Tribune office, informed the Tribune that if any one reported the loss of the package and was able to give a sufficient indentification of it, to let him know and he would restore it. Soon afterwards, Mr. Abernathy, of Stamp Creek reported the loss and re covered the money. Moral - Should you lose any money, pray that the Knight family, father and son, will find it.

Mabry, who has been making bis home in Atlanta for some time, has cccepted a position in the electrical department of the city of Cartersville, and has assumed his new duties.

We have followed our great leader, Woodrow Wilson, in loyalty both at and at the front. One feature of the many war activi ties stand out very connpiciously, and that is, the fact that school children were recognized and appealed to 'fot assistance and co-operation in this th|| greatest of world wars. The children responded as citizens, they are, and performed gladly and well their duties asked of them. The school children of today will be the- citizens of tomorrow, with larger responsibilities and greater opportuni ty for service.
