RY ALL MEANS VACCINATE.
Note Mayor Means' address to
day. We are sorry that we can
not anticipate the action of the
town council toda in
reference to the small-pox situa

.think not an alarmist, but we
think the situation justifies the
greatest precautions, . We have
entire confidence that the town
council will act with wisdom and

President McKinley doubtless

Judge Ewart was about sub
sided and has for the third time

Mrs G A Oglesby, of Durham,
arrived here Wednesday night to
spend awhile with her sister,
Mrs W H Lilly.
Miss ; Annie Bost, of Bosts
Mills, has gone to Winston-Salem
to spend the holidays with Miss
Lenria Stevens, who is attending

Miss May Query, who has
been spending several weeks
here at Mr. E C Barnhardt's,
has returned to her home near
Harrisburg.
