Colored People Help

The Hickory canteen desired to acknowledge its appreciation of the help rendered by the colored people in donating chickens for the Fourth of July dinner at Oteen, for $7.50 in cash contributed, for aid in dressing chickens and for eight chickens donated through Rev. Roberts. The cantaloupes sent to Oteen last week were shared by white and colored alike, as were also the colors. Eula Ramseur, Mamie Houck and Ida Smith did fine work in helping to prepare the chickens at the canteen for the soldiers.
