AN OPPORTUNITY TO AID
JEWISH WAR SUFFERERS.
A campaign was. launched on Fob
ruary 22nd to raise $300,000 in
Georgia for the relief of Jewish war
sufferers in Eastern Europe and |
Palestine.
The Headquaters Committee . ,
Atlanta asked the editor of The Lea
rer Tribune to act as chairman of a
committee to solicit funds in Fort
Valley and vicinity for this very
worthy cause and he would have
been very glad to serve in this ca
pa city had it been possible for him
to do justice to the cause. On his
suggestion Mr. A. M. Solomon and
Mr. H. Moskovitz organized a com
mittee for this work and Mr. Sol
omon reported Wednesday very
satisfactory progress being made
and promised us a list of contribu- ,
tors and amounts contributed For :
publication next week.
Reports have been published from
Atlanta, Augusta and other cities of
very generous contributions to this
cause being made by Christians as
well as Jews. No greater opportun
ity could be presented to people who
claim to be followers of Christ to
manifest the spirit of universal
brotherly love and Good Samaritan
ism than this. There are a goodly
number of Christians in Fort Valley
and vicinity whose charity is not
bound by creed and dogma who would
be glad to contribute to this fund,
and we are confident that our worthy
fellow citizens of the Jewish race
who constitute this local committee
Ivould genuinely appreciate volun¬
tary contributions from this source.

Close the Ears.
There is a great deal of idle, if
not wicked gossip going on in t.er>
neiphborhood. It is a mean habit.
In thi sday and generation we rely
upon religion and education to stop
gossip, but they don’t succeed in any
great measure.
There is one thing that might i>e
noted, and that is. that the gossip
is generally a shallow-pated person
and hasn’t mind enough to take any
interest in the pursuit of truth. Her
joy is putting somebody else in a bad
light and turning someone’s slight
fault into a dark villainy. It is hard
to understand how a just woman will
pervert herself but there are many
who do. The lesson of the day is to
turn away and take stock in the real¬
ities of life and is the meantime don’t
believe half you hear.—Exchange.
