MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Business Manager. AUTUMN Oh, Autumn! why so soon Depart the hues that make thy forest glad; Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon, And leave thee wild and sad! OhI'twere a lot too blest For ever in thy colour'd shades to stray; Amid the kisses of the soft south west To rove and dream for aye. —Bryant's Poems. MEDICAL SOCIETY HONORS DR. M'INTOSH Dr. B. M. Mcintosh of Old Fort was elected president of the Tenth District Medical Society at the annu al meeting of the physicians from the thirteen Western counties of N. Carolina, which was held in the Cherokee county courthouse at Mur phy, Wednesday, October 22nd. The meeting was well attended by a great many doctors from the wes tern part of the state. Dr. L. B.

L. Stanton, super visor of Vocational Rehabilitation, Raleigh, N. C., were the distinguish ed speakers from out of the district, who participated in a program which was intensely interesting. Of interest to the people of tihs section was the movement being sponsored by the Tenth District So ciety to establish a State sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis in Western North Carolina. It is a rec ognized fact that there is a great need for a State hospital in this end of the state, as the present one at Sanatorium has inadequate facilities to take care of the numerous patients applying for admittance. Dr. Mc Brayer heartily favored this move ment. Dr. McCain spoke of the crowded conditions at Sanatorium and said he hoped it would not be long before a sanatorium would be established in Western North Car olina. It is reported that this move ment has the support of the organiz ed medical profession throughout the state. l ne i entn uisknct xueuiuai cutie ty is also trying to get a branch of the State Laboratory of Hygiene to locate in Asheville, as specimens from the western part of the state which are sent to Raleigh are often spoiled en route due to the length of time it takes them to reach there.
