We have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the graduating exercises of Emory High School, Emory, Texas, from Mr. Willie Bailey Clendenin, which were held on the 2nd inst. Mr. Clen denin is one of the graduates of a class of fourteen, composed about equally of boys and girls, and is the president and saluta'orian of his class. Only the young man's card accompanied the invitation, but that waß sufficient. Some twenty years ago a bright and ambitiaus young man, reared in this county, after completing his education and securing bis license to practice law, turned his face to the "Lone Star State" to try his fortune. He anchored at Emory, Texas. Of pleasant address and generously endowed with those man ly qualities which command the friendship and confidence'of his fel lows, he was not long in winning position. Honors have come to him —besides others a Judgeship. His name iB Willie H. Clendenin, a nephew of Mr. J. N. H. Clendenin of Graham and a son of the late Geo. A. Clendenin who died at Burling ton a few years ago. His mother still lives at Burlington and has the proud satisfaction of knowing that her boy has achieved honor and suc cess and that the grandson is tread ing in his father's footsteps. "Land of The Sky." v We have been favored with a copy of a neat and handsome booklet en titled "Land of the Sky." The title at once turns your mind to the wonderland of Western North Caro lina. It is embelished with a dozen beautiful views in 'colors of that famous section. It contains a map which gives the c unties, the location of the principal towns, the sparkling streams and the dizzy mountains. A brief description of the principal towns and cities, the National Forest Reserves —the "Play-Ground of America," and where and what they are is given. It tells about that glorious country in concrete form more than, perhaps, you ever saw before in so small a space. It is en joyable to read and look at. A simple request mailed to J. 0. Jones, Tnveling Passenger Agent of the Southern Railway, Raleigh, N. C., will secure you a copy. It's worth many times the trouble of writing for it. Engine For Sale. One.Tractor, 12-H. P.

For the reason that tuberculoma has come to be the greatest disease peril of modern welfare, which l» according to statistics gathereu from a study of Dr. Herman M Biggs, of conditions in France, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis "will take steps at its annual meet ing in Cincinnati next week to pre vent any such appalling and gen eral Increase in this disease in the American arm.v. Acting for tse National Council of Defense, a com mittee has prepared a program of plans for combating tuberculosis in war times, which program will be submitted and acted upon at the coming meeting. Dr. liiggs estimated that Ue oetween 30 and 40 percent of the French soldiers who returned from the front suffered with tuoerculosis, and that there arc from 400,000 to 500.000 cases in France to-da.v, 150,- 000 of these oclng in the French army. What to do with the tuoer culosis soldier is the great ques tion it has been advocated that th army retain control of every caa>- until there is no dange> of further spread of the disease. Among the plans contained inth' program prepared to me.-t war con ditions were those of employing ad ditional exiK-rt diagnosticians for recruiting offices and for periofl ical examination of enlisted m n, o not discharging those found to have the disease till they are out of dan ger, of having legal control of va grant consumptives, of reporting cases of tuberculosis, and of exam ining contacts, and of such prob lems as housing, employment, in dustrial care, and camp and itisit tutional care. Another proposition was to give a thorough chest ex amination every three months to all accepted recruits.
