from Dr. A. A. Ledbetter, county
health physician, relative to the
destruction of mosquitoes and
the maintenance of sanitary con-
dit;ons around premises. It
should be read and re-read thor-
oughly, and then clipped out for
future guidance. A stitch in time
saves nine, and by following Dr.
I^edbetter’s instructions an epi-
demical spread of disease may be
avoided.

commodations; the man who

bors is the meanest one in the lot;
the church member who pays the
least to the preacher’s salary

prises is the man who is always
crying for public improvements.

R. 1C Allen and Marcus Schwartz

building stands the same as then,
except the additional wear of the
weather and use. Too, t here are
more than a hundred more pu-
pils in school now than there
were then. This makes a con-
siderably crowded condition. In
case a fire should break out in
the building, there is no estimat-

about it. We are making a close
canvass but may overlook some,
though it will not be intention-

There is more work attached
to the enterprise than we tirst
anticipated and we will be push-
ed to get it out in time. But we

pupils under excitement should

teachers, no estimate can tie
made of the bodily injuries and
even the loss of life that might be |
inflicted upon the innocent child-

that such a calamity may never
visit the school, but should it be
our dire misfortune, those who
voted to retain the use of the old
building would be taunted the re-
mainder of their lives with the
murder of these innocent ones.

—The Furniture News believe
it has located the meanest man
that walks the face of the earth.
He lives at Ghilowee, Mo , and
some months ago lost his bouse
and all its contents by tire. Two
merchants, one of them a hard-
ware dealer who sells sewing ma-
chines, noticing bis destitute
condition, voluntarily started a
subscription, beaded it. liht ral-
ly, and saw that enough funds
were raised to rebuild and refur-
nish the house so that it was
habitable. When the meanest
man had time to look about
him, he discovered that the very
necessary article, the sewing ma-
chine, had been left out of the do-
nations. So he sat right down
and ordered, aud paid for in ad-
vance, and had shipped him, a
sewing machine from a mail or-
der house in Chicago. The News
refrains from commenting; It
can’t. Mere words can never be
shaped to do the case justice.—
