I ROV1DES DISASTER RELIEF,
Atlanta, Ga.—An enrollment of
i,000 members is the goal set for
i r annual Red Cross Roll Call in the
eight Southern States of the South
e -a Division to be held beginning Arm.
i ice Day, November 11, through
T! anksgiving, according to a state¬
ment received today from Southern
Division Headquarters, Atlanta, Ga.
'I he states comprising the division
are North and South Carolina, Ten
nev.-ee, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Messages received at Atlanta from
cities and towns all over the South
indicate a generous response to the
yearly enrollment of members.
Joseph C. Logan, Division Manager,
in commenting on the approaching
campaign slated. “Tho American Red
Cross has been tested in the last year
as perhaps few organizations ever
have by repeated calls for assistance
and service which required qu'.k and
efficient response. Especially is this
true of the Disaster Relief work. In
fifteen serious disasters in the South
in the last twelve months the organi¬
zation has exerted itself to its capaci
ty in succoring thousands of people
deprived in a day of home, food, and
shelter. It is highly gratifying to those
v|ho have worked so diligently to vin¬
dicate the trust placed in them bj the
American people to note the indica¬
tions apparent on every hand of a
great and enthusiastic enrollment this
year. - * |
Campaigns for membership will be
conducted in almost every communi
ty in the South by the 719 local Red
Cross chapters in the eight states.

has been operating the past two years.
This is looking toward the establish¬

for which has been authorized by ce!r
jtair, Fort Valley citizens provided a
sufficient number of farmers in this
vicinity will agree to milk a sufficient
number of cows to support the cream¬

The adoption of the cow, hog and
hen program has saved some sections
from bankruptcy, and no doubt should
be a good thing for Fort Vallay asid

MESSRS. HUME AND HALL
DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP
The tire and battery service firm
of Hume and Hall has been dissolved
and tire business is now (effective
November 1st) owned and operated
by Mr. Cornelius Hall alone,
Several weeks ago Mr. Alfred
jjume, Jr., bought out Mr. Hall’s in
terest in the business, but last week
he resold the entire business to Mr.
Hall, who will operate the buiness un¬
der the trade name “C. Hall, The Tire
Man.”
The initial “C” of Mr. Hall’s first
name is punned upon very cleverly in
his advertisements and is well adapt¬
ed to terse and effective use in this
respect, as will be noted in the series
of advertisements appearing in The
Leader-Tribune.
With his well known initiative, re
SO urcefult»ess, and energy, coupled
a very advantageous location, we
predict for Mr. Hall success in his
business commensurate with the rapid

GRADING OF MAIN
STREET UNDER WAY
The grading of Main Sueet
the railroad to Macon Street was be -1
gun this i.oek. More than a foot uf
dirt is being taken off the street in
this block to the grade. i
secure proper
Some of this dirt and gravel is being
used to fill up the low places in
street just east of the railroad and
some will be used on Church Street
between Anderson Ave., and Miller
Street to raise the grade of this
street and sidewalks.
Every antiquated shed in the sec¬
tion to be paved has disappeared and
quite an improvement is noted in the
•store fronts and streets.
Mr. Whitley, the paving contract¬
or, says he is receiving the most cord¬
ial cooperation in his work.
Mr. Knox T. Thomas, engineer,
says that satisfactory progress is being
made considering the delay incident
to lowering the water mains.

JERSEY LEGAL RUSE LETS
HOUSTON NEGRO GET AWAY
Deputy Sheriff W. E. Murray had
a fruitless trip to Elizabeth, N. J.,
last week to bring back Lockhart
Drake, colored, who had been arrest¬
ed there on request of Sheriff Chap¬
man of this county. Drake is under
indictment here for shooting Charlie
Walker, colored, several months ago,
and also in connection with the rob
bery of N. Hauser’s jewelry store
here last fall. He is said to have jump
ed his bail here and to have fled to
the New Jersey city, to which Hous
ton County officials traced him. j
Just three hours before Deputy
Murray reached the New Jersey «ty
Drake was freed on habeas corpus
proceedings,filed by a negro I
of Newark, Drake’s plea being that he
was being maliciously persecuted
his father-in-law.

HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL
IS A RIG SUCCESS
OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
CLEARED—MERCHANTS AND
OTHERS CJOPERATE SPLEN¬
DIDLY—A BIG TIME ENJOYED.
The Halloween Carnival staged at
ra i' s f’ ar k b liday night under
the auspices oi the civic improvement
committee of the History Club was
successful beyond the most sanguine
expectations of Ihe promoters. Long
before the ten o’clock hour—the ap
pointed time for the spooks to dis¬
perse and the booths to close—all the
refreshments had been sold, all the
fish had been caught from the pool,
all the confeRi had been scattered, all
the balloons blown up, all the freaks
in the chamber of horrors worn out
except the headless woman, and the
only thing that wasn’t exhausted was
the “moonshine” that was dispensed
at five cents an eyeful through Mr.
Wallace Thomas’s telescope. But •
every one who came early enough
went home full—either of barbecue,
ice-cream cones, hot weiners, or a
good time. To make it a perfect night
even the man and lady in the moon
were full.
The total receipts were $246.85,
expenses $43.82, and net proceeds
$203.03.
This handsome profit was made
possible by the generous contribu¬
tions of all the merchants who were
solicited by the committee and the
help given by many others. So many
contributed: supplies and materials
and so piany others worked hard
preparing the booths, exhibits, re¬
freshments, etc., that it would be im
possible to give credit to all whom it
is due. Every store that was asked
donated to the cause. Some of these
were as follows:

given by Wright’s drug store,
