C., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. For the Purpose of Examining Exes, Fitting Spectacles anet Eye-Glasses and Artificial Eyes, AN APPEAL lt) HELP LOSER. John J. Reeder, of Atlanta, Sends Contribution to Sturt Fund, The Courier is in receipt ot the following letter, which is self-ex planatory, and shows a fine spirit of helpfulness. Mr. Roeder'B proposi tion is one that will appeal, doubt less, to many: Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23, 1917. Editor Koolee Courier; I have just received The Courier, and, look ing'over the "Local and Personal" columns, notice where a Mr. Louder milk was so unfortunate last week as to lose $110. This ls very touching, HB you say he is a poor man and was going to purchase some winter gar ments and shoes for his children. I ngreo with you that it is a hard prop osition-too hard to let go by unno ticed. How do we know hut that he has a number of children who are now suffering for warm clothing? I am enclosing $3 for my part, and I would like to see you give the case some publicity, mid let's seo lt we can raise that $110 and give lt back to Mr. Loudormilk. If the situation is as you have disclosed, and a per son who could bel)), to replace this money and refuse to help, I'd judge bim pretty cold-hearted-about on a par with a dead juan, only more In the way. This ls an excellent opportunity for The Courier and the "good ladles" of Oconee to render an Invaluable ser vice to one of our unfortunate citi zens who is worthy of a helping hand. I mention the "good ladled" because without their assistance and co-operation, the time ls at hand when we can do nothing, and with out them it is out of the question to make a success at anything. They are with" us, and we aro with them. Some people will naturally say, ""Oh. he should have been more care ful with his money." That la all true enough; there is no room for an ar gument there. But will that help to get the children those clothes they were expecting to. get? NO. Let's all help a little: H will hurt none of us. and ii will help Mr. Loudormllk wonderfully li wo ena replace his i i io. I uni suggesting 'hat Tho Cornier lake the lend in (h;s becauB?. if. wo ?ii had the confidence 'in each other that I have in you, wo would have no use for mortgages or notes. If I were out at the Tabernacle I would try to get to Billy Sunday and explain thc case to him. Ho would "come across" with a substantial donation. He said the people of Now York gave him $120,000, and he gave every cent qf lt to Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. causes. John J. Reeder. British Soldiers Get Pound Meat Day.
