Sunday night, the others remaining to go over the field Monday, getting home barely in time for the last din ner of the campaign that night. The time for work in north end was lim ited, and some of the leading citizens were away, and so the canvass was carried on under difficulties. But it brought results just tho same and awakened interest m the needs and work of the Red Cross. The chief address at the Flora ; meeting was made by Mr. Burleigh. He has given several effective talks since the nation was stirred by the ! i war, but surpassed himself on Sun- I dify, with n truly eloquent appeal that j will long be remembered by all who i heard it. Unlimited credit is due to Mrs. J. L. Browning for her general super vision of the dinners given by the women of Enterprise during the week, j With her tact and excellent manage- i ment, she kept all interests working a systematically, elliciently and cconom- i icnlly, and the dinners and luncheons ; wee uniformly bountiful and attrne-' tive. Each organization and commit-, tee performed its part in all the wom en's activities, and the results justi fied their efforts. The women had the cordial support not only of the families of tho town, but of the merchants. At some stores they wore told they could have any hing they needed for the dinners, and there would be no charge. No effort ever had more unanimous support of the community.
