Jackson-Gibson
Mr. Boyd Jackson and Miss
Mable Gibson were united in
marriage at 5 o’clock Saturday
afternoon at the Presbyterian
manse at Deport, Rev David J.
Murray performing the cere-
mony. They were accompanied
by Mr. Frank Hutson and Miss
Lula Mack Dunn.
The bride is the pretty daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gib-
son of Bogata, and the groom
the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. M. Jackson, who reside two
miles south of Deport. Tiie
happy couple will make their
home with his parents for the
present, and The Times joins
their many friends in every
good wish for their tutu re hap-
piness. _
Concrete for Highway
The State Highway Commis-
sion lias agreed to Lamar Coun-
ty's proposal to spend the re-
maining funds on hand to extend
concrete construction on the
east and west ends of Highway
5, but disapproved of such a plan
on the south end of No. 19, due
to an agreement with Delta
County. The road will be con-
structed of gravel from the end
of the present concrete to the
county line.
DENGUE FEVER APPEARS
IN THIS COMMUNITY
8everal cases of dengue fever
are reported at Deport and Bo-
gata. This is not a new form of
fever, but is known to older peo-
ple as break-bone fever on ac
count of the effect upon the vic-
tims. It has been raging in Dal-
las and other large cities, it be-
ing estimated there have been
ti,000 cases in the city of Dallas.
It is transmitted thru a certain
species of mosquito, and local
physicans advise that the best
way to control the spread of the
disease is to tight this insect and
to keep sufferers with the disease
under mosquito bars. One suf-
fering with the disease is bitten,
and the next time thi? same
mosquito bites another person,
he is immediately infected. When
this fever appears in a commun-
ity it is usually in epidemic form,
four to five days being necessary
after a victim lias been bitten I
before the f«ver develops. The
mortality rate is low, however,
being only about 1 per cent, and
these among old and infirm peo-
ple and infants. For this rea-on
they should tie afforded every j
protection possible. Screening, !
covering poo.ls of water with' oil, j
and destroying breeding places [
ol the mosquito will help.
