Donations Coming In
for Big Christmas Tree. . . Community Yuletide Cheer for Little Ones Now
Assured. . . If There Are Any Destitutes, Give Their Names in to Santa Claus
Up to the time for going to press this afternoon The Journal had received the following
contributions toward the fund started by The Journal Friday for the community
Christmas Tree for the children of the city:
Monroe Journal,
$10
R.A. Morrow, $25
Miss Gertrude Walsh, 50 cents
Mr. and Mrs. C.D. Roberts, $2
Mrs. A.M. Secrest, $1
J.J. Parker, $5

J.A. Stewart, $5
T.P. Dillon, $5
Dr. J.M. Belk, $10
S.L. Rotter, $1

Let the ball keep rolling and this stone shall gather moss.
All are invited to send in their bit to give the little folks a good time. The
Journal wants this “gentle and joyous occasion” to be a real community affair
in more ways than one. It wants the community to give it as well as enjoy it.
This paper knows full well that there are almost no
destitute in our city now, and that is why it feels so good it wasn’t to join
with the kiddies and the whole municipality in shouting and singing and having
a genuine good old-fashioned Christmas around the big tree on courthouse
square, and listen to the best singers in town chime out in glad chorus the
sweet old Yuletide carols of its first childhood, and see old Santa Claus in
the center of the courthouse hall shout out the glad tidings to each of the
little ones as they pass and leave something in every little hand.
Of course, if there should be any, big or little, who can’t
have any Christmas cheer of their own, The
Journal wants the committee to know of them.
