RED CROSS AUCTION SALE

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO DELIGHT CROWDS. The entertainment committee of the Red Cross society, for Saturday, March 23, the big sales day, has made arrangements to place before the people of Jasper county, an entertainment that will be long remembered by every one who sees it. The committee is spending a lot of time for the benefit of the people as well as the Red Cross. There will be on display many articles never exhibited, and which may never be again. Many of them are treasures and could not -be bought at any price. Many could not be reproduced. There are some over three hundred years old. Many large city museum would pay any price for some of the col- 1 lections. No school child should miss this opportunity. Although there will be other features for the day, none will be so instructive or so long remembered as the Red Cross Museum.

The committee will like all who have any articles of age or merit that will be of interest to our people to bring the articles to Warner Brothers Hardware store by Friday, March 22nd. Please mark each article as to date and ownership. A committee will be on hand to take care of every article and see to its return.
