The Pearson municipal election to select three councilmen for a term of t wo years to succeed J. O. White, W. M. Corbitt and N. 15. Harrell, passed off very quietly. The casual visitor to Pearson didn’t know that anything out of the usual order was going on. There were no announced candi dates and very little interest man Rested. J. O. White, J. M. Meeks and William Smith were elected. The city is safe for another year. Next to preaching the gospel to the soldiers the Tribune considers the Red Cross relief work the most important in these distressing war times, ft is true our people have contributed handsomely to the cause once, but the Red Cross is a good work that requires contribu tions again and again. Its benefi cence reaches to all nations to which it is accessible, and gives re lief to the sick, wounded and dis tressed soldiers wherever found regardless of who, what or hov,-. In this connection the Tribune an nounces that Mrs. .1 M. Ashley, of Douglas, will visit Pearson at an early date to interest our people, especially the ladies, in this work, and trusts she will receive a cor dial welcome and a liberal re sponse from all our people. There are some who cannot contribute money, but there are ways in which they can contribute materi ally to the alleviation of human suffering which, probably, Mrs. Ashley will explain to them w hen she comes.
