W S S NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION. , Having qualified as executors of the last will and testament of Margaret E. Kesler deceased, all persons hav fag claims against the said Margaret E. Kesler are hereby notified to pre sent the same duly verified and item ized n or before the first day of March,. 1919, or this notice will be pleaded in bar of recovery. All .per- No cases rae reported from Nash, Witson of Northampton counties. In Nash county there has been a coun ty 'ordinance requiring vaccination of all school children since 1914. Simi lar ordinances have been recently passed in Wilson atid Northampton conuties. As a result, thousands of children have been, and are being vac cinatedfi and thus far, not a single case has been repoted from among those vaccinated. The question of smallpox along with other contagious diseases, is at tracting military attention and the provost marshal general has just is sued an order requiring that where smallpox exists in epidemic form, within the current quota be immedi ately vaccinated. In commenting on the situation, Dr. Crouch, state epidemiologist, called at tention to the fact that during the last three years North Carolina has averaged 17 deaths per year from smallpox while New York state with several timse our population, has averaged only about two deaths per year and Rhode Island has not had a deth since 1913. The reson for this, acording to Dr. Crouch, is that in these states all school children are vaccinatd as a matter of routine. Aa s result, many are made immune for life, or a term of years, and after having been once vaccinated, there is little hesitancy about being vacccinat ed again should occasion require it. According to Dr. Crouch, without the influx of foreigners as in the case of New York, by protecting our school children by vaccination, North Caro lina should soon be able to show a record equal to that of Rho:le Ialand.

The officers of the newly organized society include, W. H. Bur ton, president nn,l J. W. Matthews, secretary and treasurer. Another meeting will be held Tuesday -night to push the work. The ibad condition of Salisbury avenue between Spencer and Salis bury has attracted the attention of who tra.el over this stretch of the National highway. One man who drove one hundred miles arros3 the country Sunday stated that the road between the b.o towns is iecidedly the 'worst he saw in that distance. An ex: nest appeal is to be made to the county commissioners to make it at least temporarily in good shape so as to make the road passable. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Ottersburg are entertaining a fine son who arrived Saturday to make his home in the family. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Richardson, of Atlanta, spent Tuesday night here with Dr. end Mrs. F. G. Sigman.

COLONIAL THURS. MAR T. l rK ryMi Tf r sagjgiffiMj u 'State Units Now Training Within Sound of Enemy Guns'' A cablegram from France, publication of which was recently authorized, contains the following information: Part of the National Guard has arrived in France and is undergoing intensive training behind first line trenche3 within the sound of the guns at the front : This Brings the War Home to YOU In a short time these gallant young men, whose parents, brothers and sisters, wives and sweethearts are your own neighbors, will be IN the front line trenches, under the murderous fire of enemy artillery, and going "over the top" to meet the sweeping hail cf the machine guns and the bayonets of the Huns. If these soldier boys YOUR soldier boys were three miles away instead of three thousand, you would bend every energy, exhaust every resource, make every sacrifice, to make sure that they were fed, clothed, armed and equipped as no soldiers ever were before. Is your duty any les3 imperative, any less sacred, because it is your neighbor's boy who is defending your country, your flag and your home from German rightfulness on the other side of the ocean? Is it not a splendid privilege as well as a duty to deny yourself luxuries, to save food, save clothing, above all to save money, for our soldiers? U. S. Thrift Stamps Save Lives and Shorten the War There is one thing you can do, every day, to help the Government provide the guns, ammunition, food, clothing and other supplies which our 6oldiers and sailors MUST HAVE to win the war, win it quickly, and come safely home again. Go today to any bank, any postoffice, or any store where you see the W. S. S. (War Savings Stamps) sign displayed. For 25 cents you will receive a U. S. Thrift Stamp and a card to paste it on. The card has spaces for 16 stamps, costing you $4. When it is full, exchange it with a few cents additional in casli for a War Savings Stamp, for which the Government will pay $5 January 1, 1923. These War Savings Stamps are as safe as U. S. Bonds. They are the safest investment in the world because they are backed by the entire resources of the country, and the profit you make on them amounts to four per cent interest, compounded quar terly, if held till January 1, 1923. Buy a U. S. Thrift Stamp with every quarter you can possibly save. Every stamp helps to stamp out autocracy. Every stamp saves priceless American blood. Every stamp is a blow for Liberty. Every stamp will help bring peace to the world a perma- . nent peace, grounded in justice and righteousness. 17.S3. utunirw mono mm JJ0VZEMMEXT Every Stamp Helps to Bring Those Soldiers and Sailors Home Again Alive and Victorious) THIS SPACE CONTRIBUTED BY Wachovia Bank & Trust Company Salisbury, N.
