CASH IS NEEDED FOR THANKSGIVING

iiSolicitors Have Secured 25 Chiekens, ■ 10 Sacks of Flour and 8 Bushels of Potatoes. Mrs. C. A. Roberts and Mrs. A. P. Bt’rton ftmnd the people in a charitable and generous mood this year ami report that they have secured for the Thanksgiving distribution to poor families 25 chickens,, 10 sacks of flour and 8 bushels of potatoes. This will be enough of these articles, but Will fall far short of making complete Thtunksgiving dinners and the fruit and other things donated at the entertainment tonight will be a big factor in making the poor people happy on Thursday. The committee set out with the hope of securing SIOO besides the donated articles and they are hoping to do this. A dollar or a half or a quarter from you will help to care for the less fortunate during the approaching cold weather. It will be in good hands if dropped in the collection basket at the Methodist church tonight. Remember, this is not a denominational matter. All the churches are engaged 'in the work together. The ministers of the churches aid in the distribution and see -that it is fairly done. What id not needed at this time will be reserved for a later time when it will be needed. Give liberally and thus have added cause for a Thanksgiving of good cheer.
