There ore a lot of kids who wont have any Xmas Unless the Goodfellows of this city get busy. A nameless Goodfellow sends a lino end a dollar bill to the Goodfellows Fund. Master Richard Peters. 1717 Fenwick street is a Goodfellow and sends another dollar to the poor kids Xmas Mr. and Mrs. Hicks and A. Hora Hicks are Good fellows and have made the Goodfellows Fund richer by $7.00 this Xmas.

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 BHWHjU;.

The Goodfellows know of dozens of women like that, and aged men, too, and couples whose children ha'e gone out and forgotten them years ago. And the Weary Mothers. It Is these old folks, and the children and the weary mothers that the Good fellow plan alms to help mostly. There are n great many of them and tt wl ! l requlfe a great many Goodfellows to reach all the way around. Send In Your Name Today. And If you are going to help at all send In your name today, because the Goodfellows will he mighty busy Just before Christmas, and if they get your name this week they can send you the address of a poor family before, the week Is out. and that will give you good time to call there and Investigate for youVseif, and decide what to give. There’s not a dollar In this Goodfellow plan for anyone connected with It. 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. CENTER CO.
