This is a most excellent showing. It will be observed that the total amount pledged for this fund is $8,244.70. Of this amount $5,525.70 has been paid in and $2,719.00 is still ,due. It is . urged that all who have not taken care of their pledges do so at once. It is understood that Charles G. Spitler, chairman of the county, will in a short time appoint an auditing committee who will check over all receipts and and a re{>ort of this committee will- be pubished. In the meantime all can be assured that every dollar" collected will be used as represented and the great mass of work that has been necessary to take care of this movement has been done without compensation. No one receives a cent except the secretary, who has been allowed a very nominal sum.
