Joe and Frank Lyday of Pisgah Forest spent Saturday night with their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvanus Smathers. Mrs. Kee Bromfield of Pisgah Forest is visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs. J. M.

The good neighbors of Mr. J. L. Simpson met at his home Friday and harvested his rye*for him, his family all being ill with measles. Bobolixk. In his address before the State Health Officers Association in Ral eigh recently on the subject of the state's responsibtlitj for hnman life, Governor Craie pointed ont in glowing terms the rapid strides that had been made in health and sanitation within the last few years. Govennor Craig said in part “When I was city attorney for the city of Asheville we came to the conclusion that the wells were in sanitary and clsoed them up. We did not have as good a public water supply then as we have now but a better one than some citi.s I know. When the health board passed the ordinance prohibiting anyone from drinking from a priv ate well in Asheville it brought on considerable trouble with the peo ple, especially the poor people and those who were unaccustomed to such regulations, but finally it was enforced and instead of having 300 cases of typhoid in one summer we now hav'e scarcely none.” The governor took the ground that while good roads are fine, and railroads, telephones, telegraph and mail service are excellent, yet our homes—clean, sanitary homes and clean healthy happy people in such homes were the greatest asset of the state. The governor argued for the modern conveniences, especially emphasizing plenty of pure running water in every homo, ri^ral or nr>;an. Ho pointed ont that it was when K<mie had abundance of pure crystal waters flowing in her r qne- ducts when her people 1 a‘bo(I daily that Rome became the ruler of the world. With reference to health con- ditiors in Morehead City the Gover nor said: “I know that the state boai’d of health in Xorth Carolina has no malice or ill will in mind for that town or any other town but that it is trying, to do justice, and to do good and to do tbe whole state good, and I was glad to see it, bojcanse the greatest way to right a wrong in the world is tJ make that wrong public. If there is a town in North Carolina that ts not living up to its municipal obligations and becomes a menance to all the citi zens, and to all it induces into its b orders to make money ont of them, or for the social enjoyment, then the conditions in that town ought to be exposed to all the world and all the world ought to know them. If the water conditions in Raleigh, in this capital city v.here every body must conic and drinl: water (rhevc is nothing else here to drink) b it, anyway, we are supposed to drink water, and if it is not what it ought to be in tbe city, then the newspaper service is doing a scr- vtce to the i',eopIe of North Carol ina in letting the world know ex actly what it is. When the health organization has the couragc to do that not only for one city, but for every town in North Carolina, I tell you what, things will begin to clean up, and when a town in this state neglects her sanitary conditions and neg- l3cts ix'sts that arc going every where unchallenged, and poisonous insects carrying all manner of filth to the mouths of children and scat tering diseases, it ought to be ex posed. This organization could not do a greater service than to expose such facts. We ought to always be careful about facts, but wh'^n con ditions are such that it is unhealthy we should not wait until another epidemic breaks out to call atten tion to the facts that created an epidemic a few years ago. It is not worth while to wait until we hear the lamenations of mothers and see the coliins pass out before we call attention to conditions now existing that caused these things. Now. gentlemen, as I say, I con gratulate the state of North Carol ina for taking this step forward. K. J. JUSTUS. Again it falls to otrr sad" lot' tiv record another reminder of eveary person’s fate. When the death angel winged its way to Blantyre and bore the spirSlr. of onr dear brother, Mr. K. J.

But after all hopes had fledf, kc>w sweet to hear him say, “I am ready”, and to hear evidence from his dying lips that he was in com munion with friends long since «ki- parted- Brother Justus was sixty-one yearst old. He was married in 1877 to* Miss Rhoda Pickelsimer. Of this-- union eight childaen were bom three boys and five girls. The- widow and seven children stirvive- him, one girl having died several- years ago. Brother Justus joined the Baptii&t^ church in 1883. He was appomfetl deacon several years ago, in whicli duty he was faithful till death. The funeral services wers con ducted by Rev. T. C. Holt^law at Pleasant Grove Church, of which. Mr. Justus was a member.. Tbt remains were laid to rest in t?w cemetery at Little Willow, wita«»H ed by at least 2.50 pej>ple from all parts of the country. It was June 11 whan Brother* Justus was called to mansions above. Bh-nryre lost one f)f its be.st citi zens and his family a kind aBd- loving father and husband.
