The
Struggle!
Every human being,
boy and girl, man and
woman, old and young,
enjoys a good mental
struggle and the sensa
tion of victory. And
every day of life is a
struggle. And every
evening can be an
evening of victory if
we practice thrift by
wisely spending less
than we earn and de
positing our savings in
a strong bank like The
Georgia Railroad Bank.

A LIST OF WHAT TO
SEND ON “BUNDLE DAY"
Numbers of Appeals for Help
Come in
You have been reading in the Herald
all about the ‘Bundle Day” for the bene
fit of Augusta's needy families, and you
have already made up your mind to make
a generous response to this worthy
call. But you have had a doubt, in your
mind as to ‘‘just what” you should give
and just what would be most acceptable.
And this will allay all your fears along
that line.
The following letter from a noble
mother in our city will give ft slight idea
of tho far-reaching need of scores of
families, and of what will be needed to
supply these needs:
”1 want to ask you to please give my
little children some clothes and shoes.
I have five small children and they are In
need of everything, underwear, pants
stockings, *shoes, jackets, or anything
will be appreciated. They are four boys
ages, eight, six, four, and three, and one
little girl ten months old.”
Now it is very certain that unless the
young people who are in charge of this
city-wide ‘‘Bundle Day” movement have
supplies to respond to the appeal of that
mother, her little children will not only
go without any Christmas toys and fruits
etc., but they will go without necessary
clothing to keep their little bodies warm.
So the Christian people of any and all
faiths are asked to send in shoes, hats,
stockings, collars, ties, underwear, shirts
waists, dresses, trousers, coats suits,
overcoats, bed clothing and anything
that will help to keep the bodies of men
and women and children warm and com
fortable In winter weather.
If any ‘‘Bundles” are ready before
Monday (December 20, which is ‘‘Bundle
Day”) they are asked to leave same at
Saxon-Cullum Shoe Company, or with
Miss Blanchard at Von Kamp’s or at
Youngblood Roofing Co. If the bundles
cannot be left at one of theose three
places, they will be sent for if a mes
sage is left at any of the following
phones, 2656-J, 1548-J, 3091-J, 3089-J,
1335-J.

That the Augusta playgoing nubile is
quick to discern an attraction of reputa

when the advance sale of seats for the *ig

The sale qpened with a rush this morn

out delay will not bo compelled to buy
standing room when the greatest at
traction that has ever visited this city
comes to town. The free h i is entirely

laid aside.

and Block will send to the Grand Theatre
Friday and Saturday, December 17th and
18th, with a matinee Saturday, Is too
valuable a piecb'of stage property to be
permitted to deteriorate In tho slightest
degree, for its frequent appearances in
New York and Chicago have Invariably
been more successful in every way than
that which attended its premiers In those
art centers
Therefore Gleason and Block in lino
with their policy of having everything
of the best have equipped "The Rain
bow Girl” with a scenic Investiture that
Is brand new and of exquisite coloring
and effulgence, thus providing fbr tho
theatregoer again what they luivo al
