Dog Killed and Head Taken to Ral eigh Where An Examination Shows a Genuine Case of Hydrophobia. We regret to learn that a mad dog" has been in our midst. One day this week a dog belonging to Mr. J. C. Standi went mad ai\cl bit two of his children, Norwood, age nine, and Jo seph, age six. The dog was killed and his head taken to Raleigh wheri^ it was examined by Dr. Shore. The examination disclosed a <*?se of hy drophobia. 1 Mr. Standi took his children to Rul i eigh to have the Pasteur treatment given them, but because the serum - was out he brought the children home and will carry them back today if 1 the scrum is obtainable. ? Mr. Stancil asks us to state that the people of the town and commu ? nity should be very careful in look ing after their dogs at this time. His dog is known to have been with other dogs just before he was killed and no one knows how many were bitten by him while he was mad. To the Patrons of the Turlington Graded Schools The Trustees of the Turlington ' Graded School have decided to give ohly one day holiday for the Johnston County Fair this year. This day is Wednesday, and on that day the ' school wishes every pupil to attend the Fair. Special rates are offered to all pupils who go to the Fair in line with their teacher. On Thursday and ' Friday, by giving no noon recess, we hope to get all of the regular school work through by one or on2-thirty o'clock. This will enable every pupil jvvho lias his work up to attend the ! Fair every day if he wishes. The school is making a very ear nest effort to see that every day of its teim is profitably spent. It costs the citizens of the town about $C0.00 a day to operate the school, and a . day of poor attendance greatly deinor , alizes the organization and hinders the r 'lar work. Therefore, when your child is out of school he is los ing something himself and at the [ same time is delaying the progress ? of his classmates. When the patrons of the school have considered the fact that it is possible for their children to see prac . tically all of the Fair and at the same ?ime be faithful in the performance of their school duty's, we sincerely hope and believe that they will co operate with us in our efforts to have a full attendance at school during jFair Week as well as all the time. iSee to it that your child does not shirk his school duties and thereby lose himself and cause his neighbor to lose. H. B. MARROW. SELMA'S NEWS OF THE WEEK. Selma, Nov. 1. ? Miss Anne Noble attended the Halloween party at Meredith College last night. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Wiggs went to Wayne County Saturday to attend 'he funeral of Mr. Wiggs' neptlew. Dr. I. W.

Woodard has re turned home, after spending a few days with her parents at Gibsonville.

Some drivers were running at the rate of thirty to fifty miles per hour on the road between lViiu'eton and Little River. One automobiles passed with four young men in it, and they must have been going at smoething like a niile n minute clip. One of them lost his cap, which was a very nice one. They did not stop or return nfter the cap. This car was going north towards Kenly. READY For More Business Having secured the service of Mr. J, H. Blain, of Ashe ville, N.
