Come on, Goodfellows. one and nil!
Let's make this the merriest Christmas
this old town ever pj\W
Let’s make it a merry Christmas day
t or every poor widow and poor little
boy and girt In Augusta!
Let's make it a merry Christmas, too
for every good fellow that lias enough
for himself and a little to spare!
•‘The Poor Ye Have Always With Us."
Doesn’t the Good liook say it is more
blessed to give than to receive? And
so. every fellow that has plenty for
himself. If he Is a Goodfellow, will want
to give some of it to those- who have
nothin* <ii.■ u *et itics biessmg that comes
from giving.
Don't Send Your Gifts. e
Th plar. of the Goodfellows is not for
you to send your Christmas gifts to him.
You simply send him your name and ad
dress and the number and kind of per
sons you’d like to help to a merry
Christmas Then he will rend you the
names and nddVesses of those in need.
For instance now. suppose you are not
too well of yourself, but if you knew
there were two or three children in this
town whose poor little bare feet were
actually on the ground for want of shoes.
•nd you felt as If you could spare
enough to buy two eft' three pairs of
ghocs for them, send your name to the
Goodfellows and you may be sure he
will tell you where you may find them.
And then you can go there .and see for
yourself, and take the nmnsuro of their
feet and buy the shoe* yourself and car
ry them to the room at the heid of the
rickety stairs where those children live,
end sit down in the rickety chair in the
corner and watch them put on those
•hoes.
The Real Joy of Giving.
Have you ever had that oxperlcence,
Mr Goodfellow ? Well you won’t know
the real joy of giving, nor the real hap
piness that one pair of shoes can bring
to s little starved soul until you do
pomething like that.
Or maybe you are thinking of your
own dear old mother, the vision of her
In the old rocking clmlr at home comes
to you, and if you only knew that some
where in Augusta there was an old
wojnan w'ho was so needy that she shiv

It Is these old folks, and the children

And If you are going to help at all
send In your name today, because the
Goodfellows will he mighty busy Just

name this week they can send you the
address of a poor family before, the week

time to call there and Investigate for

There’s not a dollar In this Goodfellow

Everyone Is giving service free and the
onlv aim behind it is to try to see that
there Is not a cheerless Christmas for
anyone In Augusta this year.
LADY KNOCKED DOWN
01 UNKNOWN KOTO
Miss Sophie Smith Had Narrow
Escape From Death at Camp
bell and Telfaix Streets Tues
day.
Miss Sophie Smith narrowly escaped
death yesterday by being run down
by an automobile.
Miss Hmith is connected with the
Savannah, Florida Railroad, and was
on her way to the office. The streets
at the Intersection of Telfair and
Campbell were rather congested and
while attempting to dodge two heavi
ly laden wagons she was swept down
by an automobile. As she fell she for
tunately fell with her knee on her
muff which broke the fall and saved
possibly a broken knee. My a wonder
ful forethought Miss Smith pulled
herself from under the wheel, the auto
passing on al Hindi a rapid rate that It
hud gone some yards before it was
stopped. The driver returning picked
her up, anil Immediately after telling
him her address she lost consciousness.
She was deposited, still unconscious,
at her own home In a chair, the hall
door being open, and Immediately af
terwards the driver dlsapeared.
Miss Smith today is rather badly
bruised, stiff and sore, but except for
that and the nervous shake up she
seems to be all right, and is greatly
thankful to the driver for not killing
her.
