WILL GET CHECKS Confederate Veterans and Their Widows May Call For Cash. old soldiers and their widows are equested to call at the office of the Ordinary at as early a date as may he possible to.get their pension checks Judge Gann has received the mon ov for them, and we know that it will be acceptable. Few of them could do without it, and when they :ake this money from the state they <hould feel that it is only a part of what is due, for the service ren- Jered and the hardship undergone in years gone by. The sum allowed Cobb County for pensions this year is $23,140.00 but when this is divided amonk 292 old <oldiers and widows the individual amount is small. And each year the number who re ceive pensions is getting smaller. Last year there were 317 pensions, of whom 30 have died during the year, but as a few others were added under recent laws the actual number of pensioners is now 292, of whom 29 were men disabled during the war, 147 men later added to list, and 116 widows. Georgia is the most liberal of all southern states, with her Confederate pensioners, and still the pensions are not sufficient for the actual needs in may cases. ST. JAMES CHURCH NEWS.

These dressing have to be made , in a perfectly sanitary manner. if you have not registered do so’ at once with Mrs. Trezevant, Super-l visor, and when you register please} pay the entrance fee of $l.OO. This | extrance fee is used to buy the ma- | terials for the dressings. l The classes will be held in the Ar-| mory Building. The rooms have been} loaned by the First National Bank to the Red Cross. In some unaccountable way the im pression has gotten out that if you make dressings you will have to nursei soldiers. How this could become cur- ! rent is difficult to understand. t No one is allowed to do Red Cross! nursing unless she is a GRADUATE‘ NURSE with “at least two years’| course in a hospital which includes] the care of men, and has a daily av-| erage of at least fifty patients dur-| ing the applicant’s training.” i There is great need for Red Cross | Nurses, and patriotic women all over | the country are fitting themselves to!l serve their country in the event that| the war continues. ‘ We are often asked what is done | with the one dollar paid for the mem- | hership in the Red Cross. Some peo- | ple seem to think that if they join the Red Cross it means that they have to render service to the government. | The following short item published | in a New York paper gives a fine en- | swer to the question: | “What do I get out of it?” is one; question which Red Cross workers are | asked many times a day. And thej answer should always be along this! line of thought. l “What do you get out of it? Well,! my friend, if the dollar you give is; animated by love of home. love of| country, and flag, the love which ‘ prompts men to help the wounded! on the battlefield, in the camps and | in the hospitals, you will get much | comfort and solace from your litt]e| oift to the Red Cross. You will have | that ease of conscience which fo]-I lows every kind deed; your heart-| strings will vibrate with joy and ;:]ad-i ness in the thought that you havel done some little something to re lieve the suffering of the mind and; body of some soldier at the front. | Your soul will be sweetened with the{ thought that you have done what | God would have you do, and what| the boys “over yonder” expect you| to do.” 1 All service given by Red Crossi members is purely voluntary. Some | can do much in the way of sewing| and e knitting and making Surgical | Dressings, but there are some who through home duties andpoor hea]th;; are unable to give their labor, to | these it must be a great comfort to feel that their dollar membership is/| helping to buy supplies for others to| make into Red Cross garments for! the wounded, into knitted garments to keep the soldier warm and the sur- | gical dressing to care for the sick and | wounded. Junior Red Cross ' School Unit Membership. ! For our schools to become Unit| Members of the Red Cross it will be necessary .for every child in the| schools to be enrolled at twenty-five | cents each. Pupils of the schools | who are already members will not| be taxed again, but will be countedl in the membership of the school. If the classes wish to do so they may earn the money for the membership| of the school. ! All of the money obtained for mem-, (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO.) !

We took up the work of War Sav ings in this county on January 7th. On that date there was not a chair man in the county.

Sheriff Swanson was in receipt of a letter on Wednesday from one of our boys in Italy, Herbert C. Dobbs, which was written primarily to thank him for some cigarettes, which Mr. Swanson had sent, but it shows so clearly how much these things are appreciated, that he has permited us to print the letter which will be of interest also to Mr. Dobbs’ many friends. Aviozione, Militare Americana. Italy, January 12, 1918. Mr. W. E. Swanson, Marietta, Georgia, U. S. A. Dear Mr. Swanson: I want to express to you my sin cerest thanks for the cigarettes which arrived here in fine shape day be fore yesterday. They are very valu able over here because American ci garettes can’t be bought in Italy for love or money and Italian cigarettes aren’t anything like the American, cinsequently the advent of cargar ettes from the state is always a most welcome affair and I certainly do ap preciate these. Cigarettes aren’t the best things in the world for aviators, they tell me but I notice that they all use them and no one of them ever turns down the offer of a cigarette from ‘“back there.”” Besides, down here we are pretty far off from amusements or diversions and a cigarette is a genu ine pleasure. Flying is a great game down here and we are having some wonderful weather. The temperature drops be low freezing occasionally and some times we have a bit of snow, but on the whole the winter here has been fine. 1 believe it is much warmer than a winter in Marietta and I am delighted at having missed the se vere winter weather in France and hope Marietta has fared as well with the cold weather which the papers here say has been the recent lot of the states. Thanking you once again for your kindness, 1 am, Very sincerely yours, HERBERT C. DOBBS, U. S. Air Service, 45 Avenue Mon tagne, Paris France. COBB COUNTY NEAR TOP. In January the enlistments at the Marietta recruiting station were only exceeded by two others in the state. Sergeant John W. Underwood in charge, says he wants Cobb County to “go over the top” in February, and to exceed all other stations. The War Department is now re cruiting a special regiment to be known as the 37th Engineers, notice of which we print in another eolumn. ANNOUNCEMENT. The Rev. J. J. Crow will fill the pulpit at the Second Baptist Church at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Sunday, February 10th. His friends and the public are cordially invited. Beginning on February 10th, 1918 the Druggists of Marietta, have ag greed not to deliver any soft drinks or cream in cones or dishes from their stores, except to those who drive in front of their places of business. The reason for this is the increased cost of doing business and delivery ser vice. COLLINS BROTHERS, GRIFFITHS PHARMACY, HODGES DRUG CO., 3 SAMS DRUG CO.
