ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD
OF ASSOCIATED
October 1919—October 1920
The following report is
annually to the churches
with the work of the
Charities in order that the
and all citizens contributing to
work may know something of the
tivities of the Board and the
which is being accomplished.
The Board is composed of
sentatives elected by the
Baptist, Presbyterian, and
churches, and by the Jewish
The officers of the Board are:
Mr. W. L. Houser, Chairman,
Mr. J. H. Edwards, Treasurer,
Miss Emily Keen, Secretary,
Mrs. R. S. Braswell, Executive
The Board meets as often as
essary to approve expenditures,
consider special cases, and to
late its program of activities,
largest part of the actual work of
lief is done however by Mrs. R. S.
Braswell, the efficient executive
the Board. She has now for a
ber of years done this work in
most unselfish way and with a
fulness that has not only proven her
Christian spirit but that has
taxed her strength and time.
The past year has been one» in
which employment has been readily
obtained and good wages paid in all
lies of work. This fact has made
cases of extreme need rare. We have
therefore to report only the usual
instances of relief which even in
prosperous times is necessary to be
given to certain unfortunate classes
of the population.
The following statement of finan¬
ces for the year is furnished by the
treasurer, Mr. Edwards, who has
managed the funds of the Board with
extreme care and efficiency.
Amount brought forward $159.(52
Collected since Nov. 1919 314.00

For Mrs. Harper 185.80
For fuel 13.40

For doctors 98.00
For R. R. fare, meals, etc. to
strangers 7.68
TOTAL 415.34

With the closing of some of the
mills, the high cost of living, and
more stringent financial conditions,
the needs for this work will be heav¬

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
AND CONTRIBUTORS
While The Leader-Tribune is da¬
ted, Thursday it is printed Tuesday
and Wednesday, and should be in tin
post office before six o’clock Wed¬
nesday afternoon.
Get your copy in as early as possi¬
ble. Don’t hold it till Wednesday ami
then expect us to get it in that
week’s paper. You’ can’t get such
service as that even from a city daily
with a whole flock of linotype ma¬
chines—unless it’s news of such im¬
portance as to be railroaded ahead of
other matter received earlier.
Remember that it takes five or six
days to get all the matter for an issue
of The Leader-Tribune set up and
made up.
Our regular advertisers usually
give us good cooperation in this mat¬
ter. It is the casual advertisers and
contributors who often get in late.
If we accommodated them all we
would never get out a papei* before
Saturday.

(From Cartoons Magazine.)
Just think! ’twas but a few short
months ago,
That all we common people didn’t
know
One single thing of either candidate.
But now their whole life story we
relate
With glib and understanding nai¬
vete;
As if we had been chums with them
alway,
We shout aloud and sing their mid¬
dle names—
(A campaign is the knowingest of
games)
We find them written in the clay
and sand,
Inside a fresh cut melon and, my
land!
Ours hens are now political in mind
For often on a new-laid egg some¬
body’ll find
A strangely out-of-way nomencla¬
ture—
The name of him who'll be elected
| sure.

3ut while we’re getting
with their lives
Their little whims and hobbies
their wives,
We ean’t refrain from voicing a
ment,
For one of these will not be
dent,
Tut like the earth itself as time
rolls
Will find he’s slightly flattened at
the polls.

part of the United States. Mount

feeling that hangs on, after you get up and begin to go about. The sooner
you get your strength back the better, and you should derive valuable
assistance, in enriching your blood, renewing your appetite, helping
you to digest your food, and to build up your system, by taking

The Scientific Iron Tonic
Mr. Frvin Horton, a prominent citizen of Horton, Ala., writes: "I i
have been taking Ziron, and it is a wonderful medicine. It helped me
more than anything else, after 1 had the influenza. It is a great system*
builder. 1 appreciate what Ziron has done for me.” The merit of Ziron
has been proved by the good results obtained by thousands of men and
women who have taken it. You should try Ziron. Your money will be
refunded if the first bottle of Ziron fails to help you.
Ask your druggist for Ziron. Accept no substitutes. ZJ. 2
