j CHARITY. '
The World War opened the eyes '
of the country to the wants of others.
The people were willing to give and ^
' they gave freely. In fact the country
was surprised that it could give so j
much, and that large amounts of l
money could be collected so easily. 1
Almost any Hind, of. a drive which |
had for its purpose the helping of the '
t (
,, soldiers, or of others who needed
help, had a suitable response. <
j Those who are engaged in charit- 1
1 able undertakings learned something '
t-Ko methods of raising money durr '
. ing this time. What they learned dur- J
ing the war has been practiced since
then and many thousands of dollars
have been given where people before
the war did not give as freely.
The present winter is going to be j
a time of great suffering and the peo- \
pie are going to be' asked to help 1
;pthefs oftentimes. There will be peo- <
pie in every community who must be'*
helped or there will be untold suf- ?
fering. While we would urge the peo- <
pie to give freely to those who suffer, 1
we must say that we believe the time 1
has come for the traveling charity ^
seeker, the man who for a salary '
however small travels from one <
town to another asking help for this 1
or the other institution, to stay -at <
home and confine himself to the wants 1
of those around him. We are sure 1
.that the people in this community I
- * 1 A _ it- <
will not be able to give mucn 10 owi
ers just now; we are equally sure ,'
that more charitable gifts and help I'
w 11 be needed here than may be had.,'
Why then should we undertake to ]
help people and institutions away ^
from home? Here every dollar that 1
is given is spent for a good purpose. ;
We all know that. None of it. will go
to pay the salaries of solicitors. When ]
we give toother people or institu- 1
tions through salaried officers and 1
salaried solicitors, we do not always i
/ know just the amount that goes. to
these institutions.
T? the above suggestions there will
" be, of course, some exceptions. There
are certain charities away from home
which have been doing good these '
? J-1 1 4. A *
many years, reopie nave accuswraeu p
themselves to supporting them, and ^
the results have justified the gifts
made to them. There are obligations
; to the organization of the churches i
which the people support, knowing 1
that what they give goes to a good 1
purpose and that it is wisely expend- '
ed. But generally speaking we be- 1
lieve that the suggestions are wise.
Certain it is that now is no time to |
be approached<. by those who seek to ]
establish new charities away from *
home. It will not be time to do this
I until we have helped'our neighbors
and have a surplus and know that the
new enterprise is one deserving help.
FOUR LOSE LIVES IN FIRE ]
1
Toledo, 0., Nov. 3.?A mother and <
four children, three girls and a boy 1
were burned to death shortly after 6 ]
o'clock this morning when fire des- 1
troyed the fruit store and apart- <
ment of Wolf^ Greenburg, Indiana i
avenue and Ewing streets. The dead '
are: Mrs. Greenburg, the mother, !
Eva, 15; Anna 13; David, six and 1
Leah, 9. (
The father and four other children
who were sleeping in another room 11
were able to escape, but flames frus-J]
trated attempt to rescue th* mother jl
and smaller children. The tire was 1
discovered by one of the sons only '
after it had filled the apartment with l
smoke and gained considerable headway.
When firemen reached the second
floor they found Mrs. Greenberg and |
two children burned to death and
two others suffocated seated in i
chairs. j <
SUNDAY AND SABBATH.
The Presbyterian of Due West had
the following paragraph in its last
issue, for which due apology is offered:
"Our good friend, The Press and
Banner, whom we like to read, three
times a week, quotes The Presbyterian
as using the word 'Sunday,'
three times in as many locals. There
miie' hp snmp mistake about this.
The rule in the Presbyterian office
is never to set up the word 'Sunday'
except in such cases as 'Sunday papers'
and 'Sunday Base Ball.' "
In taking'the Press and Banner to
task, The Presbyterian is within its
rights in insisting that when it _ is
quoted .it be quoted correctly. In the
same issue, howeverr in mhich the
:omplamt was made, The Presbyterian
quoted an article from The Press
ind Banner and changed "Sunday"
;o "Sabbath."
According to Webster they are
joth perfectly good words, though
jsage is not so flexible as "she is
vrit."' ' :
"Sabbath denotes the institution,
Sunday is the,'name of the first day
>f the week. The Sabbath of the
Jews is on Saturday and of most
Christians on Sunday. In New Engand
the first day of the week has
?een called the Sabbath to make it as
loly time; Sunday is the word more
:ommonly used in all parts of the
[Jnrted States as it is in England."
THE DUE WEST FAIR.
The Due West Fair came off last]
Tr'day as scheduled. It was quite a
success. A large crowd was present.
Persons coming from a distance. The
:attle show was very creditable. The
school exhibit, furnished by the graded
school, was especially fine. The
exhibit of fruits prepared in many
,vays by the ladies, breads, jellies,
jome made candies, home mad& soap
*01 both toilet and laundry purposes,
lome made furniture, also many
jcononvcal articles for home and
family use were shown. The display
)f fancy work was very fine, showing
work of real artists in the line of
needle work. The floral exhibit was
jood and the attractive feature of
the morning was the parade. A number
of floats representing dairying,
agriculture, poultry, stock raising,
ind last but greatest of all, our comnun
ty's most valuable asset, the
boys and girl?, and what we owe
:hem in preparing them for manhood
and womanhood.
The two speakers for the day,"
Messrs. Vance and Cobb, added much
:o the interest and instructions along
the lines of cattle raising and community
Jbuilding.<=-A. R. Presbyterian

children.
Mrs. Williamson is an experienced
kindergarten teacher having had

for the parents of Abbeville to give
their children a good start in the
way of an education and interested
parents should^consult Mrs. Williamson
as to terms and enroll the children
with the beginners. 1
GRAND OPENING IS
, TRIBUTE TO LASSES
Suj
Minstrel Troupe Keeps Audience in
Uproar Throughout the Entire
Performance.
cou
(Montgomery Advertiser) * e
With a rirst part crowded with ing
songs that went over "big" and ai a
last part full of comedy with Lasses J^01
and Siim" Vermont* furnishing it, |C^''
Lasses White and his all-star min- w^'
strels opened the theatrical season ^ir<
at the Grand Theatre Tuesday night sc"
with a fun-craving, appreciative audience
that packed the house to ca- ^
pacity.
If such a thine: is possible it might j
be-said that Lasses himself, mads
even a bigger hit than ever before, , 1
and decidedly' bigger than la^t sea-' pre
son when he made his first appear- cht
ance in Montgomery eft the head of
his own company. Lasses was mighty
good, but he was just a part of the
aggregation of fun-makers.
Coming next to Lasses," and without
whom the undertaking would not
have gone so big, was Slim Vermont,,
who just seemed to fit in right to
Lasses and give him an opportunity
to pull his funny stuff. Slim proved
to be a great hit throughout the entire
performance, and he won a place i
in the hearts of fun-loving- theatre-!
goers of Montgomery.
' The s'ngers with the aggregation
are among the best ever heard here
this season. The solos were fine, with
Charlie Lane, Frank Long, Bobby
Gossans, Jim Pritchard, Waldo Roberts,
Roscoe Humphrey, Paul Cholet
and Lasses (himself) furnishing
them. *
Paul Cholet is looked upon by
Montgomerians as one of the greatest
yodelers ever heard here. He added
to his popularity last night by
the wonderful selections which he
rendered.
Lasses knocked them cold with his j
"If you don't believe I'm leaving,"!
and Tke his famous "Sweet Mama
Tree-top Tall," the audience refused j
to let him stop until he had informed
them that he was "not a phonograph.'
Restivo, famous piano-accordion
player, was greatly appreciated with
his classical and jazz selections.
Taking it as a whole, Lasses White ^
and his aggregation made a big hit ^
and their reiurn to Montgomery in
the future- will no doubt be welcom*- \Si
ed by all lovers of minstrels. I
Lasses White, minstrels will be at I f
