Charlotte Observer
Mrs. E.C. Register, who has secured Thanksgiving dinner for the inmates at the Mecklenburg county home for 27 consecutive years, asks that everybody who will contribute anything to the cause to please have it to the city hall by noon tomorrow.
There are 65 inmates at the home and four old women in the city on Mrs. Register’s list, and she says she needs everything from turkey to snuff. All citizens are asked to send either money or “eats” to the city hall. She has the turkeys engaged. Mrs. Register not only remembers the poor inmates at Thanksgiving but has a tree for them at Christmas.
