Former County Health Officer I.eft Yesterday for Fort Oglethorpe to Spend Awhile in Training for Ser vice in France. Yesterday Dr. Thel Hooks loft to go to Fort Oglethorpe where h? will spend some weeks in training for the Medical Officers Reserve Corps. He has already received his commission as a First Lieutenant. Some time ago when the War Department called for physicians for service in the army, Dr. Hooks felt the call so strongly that he enlisted and has been for sometime expecting the call to ser vice. Dr. Hooks did not have to go. He was already past the age limit, but like thousands of other American pa triots he was unable to resist the call. To enlist and go into the service meant a great sacrifice for him, but he was willing to make it for the sake of his country. He has given up his position as County Health Officer, his fine practice, his home and his friends, to go forth to serve his country in the greatest crisis in its history. All hon or to such men. Though we have re grets to see them go their names are written indelibly on the hearts of those left behind. They are the stuff heroes are made of. They are the men who are the salvation of the country in every great crisis. Thou sands of other physicians are answer ing the call. They see the great need and are willing to make the sacrifice. Dr. Hooks' great host of friends throughout this section bid him god speed as he enters this great service. U. D. C. Chapter. The Spnders-Holt Chapter U. D. C. held a call meeting in the Woman's Club room Saturday afternoon and elected Mrs. T. R. Hood delegate and Mrs. L. G. Patterson alternate to the State Convention which meets in Kinston October 10-12, 1917. It was also decided by members present to ask the people of Johnston County for a donation of canned goods for the Confederate Woman's Home in Fayetteville, and Soldiers' Home in Raleigh. Let every one who will, from among their supply of things canned this summer, set aside a jar for this purpose and send to Mr. W. M. Sanders' store where it will be taken in charge by the Sanders Holt Chapter U. D. C. and sent to these Homes. Please send donations before the 10th of September. Death of a Child. ? Little Eugene, the one-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Taylor, died at their home near the Ivanhoc Cot ton Mills, Saturday, September 1st, and was buried at the nev; Oakland Cemetery Sunday afternoon at five o'clock, the funeral service being con ducted by Rev. A. S. Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have the sympathy of the community in their loss. Cooking Demonstration at Four Oaks. The Massengill Hardware Company at Four Oaks are having a cooking demonstration at their store this week, the representative of the Ma jestic Range Company, being present to conduct it. These demonstrations are something that greatly interest# the ladies and many of them will visit the Massengill Hardware Company's store this week. The demonstration will be on every day this week closing Saturday GEORGE POU ENLISTS IN ARMY. Son of Congressman Edward W. Pou Soon to Go To France as a Mem ber of the Aviation Corps. Mr. George Ross Pou, son of Con gressman Edward W. Pou, left Sun day night for Hoboken, N. J., from which ptace he will sail immediately for Franco to begin intensive train ing in the signal service of the Avia tion Corps. George, as he is popular ly known by his many friends, not only in Smithfiold but throughout the State, is one of Smithfi -Id's leading, progressive, young men. Having re ceived his license to practice law in 1915, he at once located in Smithfield for the practice of his profession, where he had begun to build up a lu crative practice. In the town election held last May he was elected, without opposition, to represent the fourth ward, being the youngest man to be elected to a position on the board of town commissioners. He was thor oughly in sympathy with every pro gressive movement, which had for its object the upbuilding of the town and community. While in Washington re cently on business, there came to him a fuller realization of his country's need for men, and he immediately ten dered himself as a private for service on the battlefront "Somewhere in France," without considering the sac rifice he would be called upon to make. It is the true patriotism of America's finest manhood, as exem plified in the lives of such men as George Pou, that will bring victory to the allied cause and make for the complete overthrow of German au tocracy, and the establishment of lib erty and justice throughout the earth. With the enlistment of George Pou in the service, both sons of Congress man Pou are now members of the United States Army. Edwin, the younger son, is a Lieutenant in the Aviation Corps "somewhere in Can ada." Plow I'ulled by Automobile. On last Friday, Mr. W. R. Sanders showed a number of people that a plow could be drawn by an automo bile. A number E 20 McKay double disc plow made by the T. & S. Co. of Rowe, Ga., was used. This plow sells for $110. In front of the plow was attached to the rear axle of the au tomobile, a Smith-Farm-A-Tractor. This tractor costs $255. It has two long braces which reach the front axle of the automobile and two large wheels nearly the size of the regu lar tractor wheels. This outfit is manned by two men who demonstrate it and while they sell a few plows and tractors to each dealer or agent their main business is to sell territory rights. They sell mostly rights to agents to handle this outfit. Back From His Vacation. Rev. Lewis Chester Morrison, of Duke, was here Sunday and filled his regular appointment at St. Paul's Episcopal church. Mr. Morrison has just returned from his vacation in New York and Brooklyn. While in Brooklyn he supplied for two of the churches of that great city ? St. Clem ent's and Church of the Atonement. BE WISE!
