The people are waking up nore earnestly to the reality of the wvar, and the place and need of the led Cross work in the war. The auxiliaries organized are now iolding regular meetings and doing he work assigned them with earnest iess. Also the colored people have shown a fine spirit of. atriotism, re 4pon(ling heartily to the. call. The Following auxiliaries among, themn have lbeen formed: Pl.casan Vilcw, with a membership of sixty.-nine; MIill Rock, membership, forty; Flat Iuff, membership sixty; Center Ia hun, membership sixty-onie. This inakes a total membership of six hiuni I red and eleven for tle Gray Court [ranch. Aid let mie add that Mr. F. 1'.

But I should say with such an in terested and working extension con mnittee we are going to do even -better tMan that. There are still five col ored auxiliaries in our district which 'will be oiganized in the near future. Suipt. of Publicity, Gray Court Red Cross. Sehool Superintendent Not Resigned.
