The program is given in full as follows: Bach-Tausig ? -Toccata and Fuga. Chopin ? Nocturn F sharp major. Rachmaninoff ? Prelude C sharp minor. Chopin ? Scherzo B flat minor. Liszt ? Liebestraume. Liszt ? Rigoietto (Paraphrase) Kvler-Schulz ? Blue Danube. Zachara ? Brenau Girls Galtz. A Baldwin Grand Piano, which Mr. Zachara plays exclusively, was furn ished through the courtesy of Mr. W. D. Townson, local Baldwin dealer. ANNIE GRAHAM ANDERSON, Secretary. *S. BUTT ENTERTAIN On the night of January 5th, the mob made another raid on the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. V. I. Butt.

MRS. ARNOLD BTRYSON. George Latham, Regal Hotel Cook, Dies George Latham, colored, cook at the Regal Hotel for the past six years, died Monday afternoon, Jan. 7th. about 4 o'clock at his home in Texana. Funerai was held Wed nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. George was one of the leading colored vititeiisi of Murphy, and did much toward {helping raise the standard of hia. race in Cherokee county above the average standard. He was directod of the Texana choir, a leader in the church and did much j to Christianize the colored people of this community. A remarkable record to his stu dio usn ess and faithfulness lies in the fact that he did not miss cooking a meal ?t the Regal Hotel for six year? until December 22nd, whcn he was taken ill and from which illness he never recovered. George Latham's services will be missed not only by the colored peo ple. but the white folks of this com munity as well. Peruseis Control (Whooping Cough) BY W. C. MORROW, M. D. Cherokee County Health Officer It is not generally known that more children die from the complica tions of whooping cough than from the complications of scarlet fever. In fact, five children lose their lives from whooping cough to one from scarlet fever.. Neither of the above diseases are very dangerous per se. that is, with out complications neither of these two diseases kill people. It is the conditions complicating the diseases thai are so dongerous. The follow ing complications from scarlet fever are to he dreaded. Kidney disease, ( Parancymatous Nephritis or B rights Disease) Heart disease. Middle Ear and Throat dis ease, are the most important. Whoop ing cough is prone to be complicated by pneumonia, middle ear disease, hemorrhage in mucous membranes, etc. Pneumonia kills possibly 90 per cent who die from whooping cough. The long period of the natural course of whooDing cough, especially duriner the winter months, is to be feared. Dr. Osley said, "Six weeks and a big bottle of paregoric." This means that we have no treatment of much value as far as cutting the course short is concerned. Vaccination against the disease, or vaccines as n cure, are not of much, if any, value. * The above being true, our only hope of saving these babies is in pre vention. that is early quarantine of any or ?* nf T?h??wplii>r cough. The diagnosis is bard to make. I must ad mit, especially at the stage whr. j ouarantine is of valu*. After the "whoop" stage is reached it i? use- ' less to quarantine, as the stae*e of I transmittance is during the first two' weeks. ! The control of whooping cough is I almost entirely with the parents. If a child seems to have a cold and coughs, especially if there is whoop ing iCough in the 'community, the child should be kent at homo and iso | lated from other chiTclren. If a child couerhs a week without other good [ and known reason, it is usually whooping cough, especially if the | child vomits and has periodic and spasmodic spells of coughing. They do not. always whooo no matter how long thev are ill. Don't wait for a "whoop" to report this, as to do so means that your child hjis already given the disease to others. We always have more or less whooping couerh. and we always have little graves following it. So please co-operate with me in this serious matter by keeping your coughing children at home and reporting all suspicious cases to your family phy sician for diagnosis. Do this within the first few days, that I may help others, that their children may not contract this serious disease. It doesn't matter if your child did cret it in school, this does not licensc you to give it to some other chiH. Re member that other child might die. A Correction In the issue of December 27th. an error crept into the article about the snow which places Mr. E. B. Nor vell in a rather undesirable light. It was stated that Mr. Norvell remem bered the snow being 36 inches deep in this section 10 years ago. The snow was 36 inches deep at Waynes villc. Mr. Norvell said, where he was I nt the time, and it was 24 inches at ! Murphy. We are glad to make this correc tion to clear up any misunderstand- ? ing that has arisen. Presbyterian Women Have Bible Study Meet Circles One and Two of the Wo man's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church held their regular Bible study at the home of M. . Dor. Witbirspoon Tuesday afternoon. .Airs. Th< mas Spenctr is the leader of these meet-! ings and ?he prr-spntpd the study in a most instructive manner. Three chap ters of the Book of Acts were stu died. The ladies were glad to have with them Mrs. Kuykendall, the wife of the pastor of the Presbyterian church at Athens, Tenn.. and also Mrs. Daly, the mother of Mrs. Huber, as visi tors. At the conclusion of the study, the hostess, assisted by her daughters. Misses Margaret and Mady Wither spoor, served a delicious salad course with coffee. In Memory of Ruth Mallonee By A Classmate Like the transient roso that, budding, blooms beneath the summer sun, Gives forth its precious fragrance, while the crystal dew still lingers. Has its tender bud soon snipped and its course so quickly run. Due to ruthless, reckless fingers Fumbling 'neath the summer sun. She, too, grew quick and slender and her youth bloomed forth quite hidden Like the half-opened rose bud 'neath the glorious, beaming sun. And ere we knew it she slipped away unbidden. Even as our rose had done. Our hearts are crushed and bleeding, for the pal we loved has gone; As yet we cannot follow where that radiant smile has fled, Away, away from our gorgeous win ter ?un. And we call her ? that freed soul ? dead ? just dead! No, we're wrong; she sleeps and the rose sleeps ? still And silent 'neath the frozen sod. Not dead, for thev only await the will Of God eternal God ! Till both 'again arise to thrive be neath the summer sun. Till then await we to pay the debt That friendship asks for either one; We won't forget; we can't forget! ? N. A. D.. Jan. 6, 1030.
