HOG CHOLERA SPECIALIST DUE i HERE MONDAY Sections Near Andrews and Marble Infested County Agent Gets Busy Hog cholera is prevalent in the '[neighborhood of Marble and An : drews and is causing much destruc tion, having already willed most of . the hogs in s.vcral herds near Mari hie, and h? ar0 sick in other herds. The above facts were made known Monday morning to County Agent II. II. Ellis, who wired the State Vete-, , narian immediately and is expecting him to arrive soon to take charge of] , the situation. Farmers having hogs ; in that part of the county should make arrangements toi have their I hogs treated to prevent them from | ' having cholera when the State Vetcnarian arrives as the expense is small and the protection is almost comai .1? i |?ivvv. ini j vug u?unig iu "<??c men hogs treated should notify Mr. H. i H.

All the* farmers in this community should attend this meeting as Mr. Owen will give out information on the control of hog cholera' and make arrangements for treating hogs that are near where hogs have died witjj cholera or where there is any danger of their being infected. No one should fail to have their hogs treated where they are near infected hog^ or where hogs have died as it means the probable saving of your herd and will help to stamp out the ^iseese.. Thc expense will be small.only tfce cost of I the material used whirfa will not | amount to anything compared with the value of your hogs.

Witherspoon Head* New Oi Ganization Pield Secretary Makes Address At a meeting of teachers and parI cnts at the school auditorium Mon!dav zxiKht, a Parent?Teacher Association was perfected following a talk Kv \l^i A IKom rs_l J -r . . muci.-njll. 1IC1U M l ICUV U1 the State Parent-Teacher Association, who is sent out jointly by the State Association and tht. North Carolina College for Women for tho purpose of organizing local Associations. Col. I)- Witherspoon wa? made president} of the Association, Mrs. 1). W. Kauoy, one of the teachers, vice-president; Mrs. K. C. Mattox, secretary, and Col. J. 1>. Mallonee. treasurer. It was decided to appoint five committees to see that the association functions properly, these to be calkd the Membership. Committee, the Press Committee. Reception or Social Committee, Ways and Means and Program Committees. Chairnun of these committees will be named by the PresI ident at a meeting, which is to be i called in the near future, at which I time the organization will be perfected. Superintendent D. W. Kanov presided nt the meeting and introduced Mrs. Alberson, who spoke at some length on the reacon for the ParentTeacher Asociation, giving reasomi why it was desirable both from the j parents' and from the teachers' i standpoint. From the parents' stand point, Mrs.' Alberson said that tho | association h* Ips the parents get ao. > quainted witjj the teachers, makes possibly a more intelligent treat1 ment of complaints brought home by a child, helps parents become acquainted with one another, is a medium of co-operation with new meth. ods in school, is a means of community betterment, and the programs and | discussions open parents' eyes as to turn tun responsiDiuiyi arui opportunity with reference to the school| ing of their ctyldren. From the teachers' standpoint, the association is desirable, explained the speaker, because it tends to impove the school between parents and teacher and thus parents have a more enthusiast tic attitude toward the school, and infuse the child with theis enthusiasm often leads to a solution of them, discipline become easier, by parents becoming acquaii.ted wit hthe methods of the teacher they can help develop the child's loyalty and regulai meetings op fixed times and dates saved time in getting parents and teachers together to discuss in-j dividual school problems, for it is j not always possible f?r teachers to visit as much as they would like or should. Mrs. Alberson said that the aim_ of tfc??e associations were two: To bring home and school into closer relationship and tc interest both men and women in co-operatig with school officials. Just as soon &g committees can be appointed the organization will begin to function and will nfake a drive : to enlisf the membership of every parent in town. The organization voted to affiliate with the Stat^ Association and get the full benefit of their suggestion^ and co-op era Hnn I* ! *>?? *'? - ? ? "civ mm mucil can be accomplished through this new association. Mrs. Aloerson praised very highly thd fine buildings hare used for school purposes and pointed out that this was on* thing a town was judge by. Preaching at The Presbyterian Church Rev.

POSTELL SUCCUMBS TO PARALYSIS Funrr?l Held at Liberty Church oo Sunday in Presence of Huge Throng of People Rev R. It. Postell, an aged citizen , of Cherokee County, succumbed to an attack of paralysis Thursday, October 20th. This was the third attack Mr. P 'Stell had. He way seventy-four years oldut the time of his death, having been born in 1849. He was a devout Christian and loved by all who came in contact with him. He ws a progresaive an.l enterprising citizen and a leader in his communi! ty. The funeral services were conducted at Liberty Church Sunl day, September 23rd, by Rev. Gay Bryant, assisted by Rev. W. R. Walk; er. A crowd, estimated at from I 1.200 to 1,500 people, was present to pay their respects to the departed friend. It i* thought that this was one of the most largejy .attended funerals ever held in the county. Over 100 automobiles and carriages were there, by actual count. Mr. Postell leaves t0 mourn his loss a wife ar.d seven children, five sons and two daughters: A. A. Postell, of this county;^V. A., Reyno, and Gay and Thomas Postell and Airs. i-rank Hall, all of Ducktown, Tenn; also W. F. Hill, of Cherokee County. The many4 beautiful wreath?/ and evergreens wag ample proof of th?- high esteem in which Rev. Postell was held by the people of his community. Parking Ordinance In Effect Friday The ordinance requiring parking in th.. center of the four main streets and within the corners around the Public Square will go into t ffect on the 2-^th of September at twelve : o'clock, which is Friday of this week. The streete have been marked off with white paint, indicating where parking is allowed, and already traffic is adjusting itself to the parking arrangement. This orj dinance was made necessary, it Is said, because of the congestion of traffic along the curb in the business district where many cars and wagons have been accustomed to parking for hours at a time, preventing the loading and unloading of merchandise by the merchants and often times blccking the way to filling stations. Another determing factor in the passage of the ordinance was the fact that under the old system it has been difficult to keep traffic to the right in moving through the main business district. Under the new plan, all traffic will be required to keep to the right at all times, going all the wa varound the park in the center of the public Square when making a right angle tum at the intersection of any of the street^ converging at the public Square. The ordinance is published in full in another section of this paper. Young Attorney forms Partnership Mr. Frank Hill, of Atlanta, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
