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. FUNERAL FRIDAY OF L.
