Announcement will be made later of the first meeting. ter Uncle George Whittington, res? pected negro, died last Friday and wa was buried on Sunday. "Uncle my George" as he was familiarly known { he had many friends among the white *n< people and in former days could be seen at almost all public gath- 1 erings, employed by some afinily as no1 cook. With his passing we are reminded that the coming of the au-i tomobile and other advantages of j-l?, travel have almost put an end to th? the large number of overnight visi- hit tors in homes. The possibility is that we do not visit as much as we should j *w and thus fail to really know our ^ neighbors as we did in the old days. M iss Dunn of the State Board of ' ni r Health visited the School one day ^ last week And gave the children of the grades a physical examination. hr< She made an interesting talk at cha- un pel on the importance of health. We 1 sincerely hope that all parents whose fr?i children were examined woll follow w*> the instructions given by Miss Dunn and gi"e their children treatment. ^ Mrs. J. F.
