Dr. Cannady, Comity Health Officer, Urges the People cf Oxford to Boil Drinking Water. It is entirely needless for me to take space to say that the water supply of Oxfqrd for almost a week has been iiiedequate for any pur pose, and thoroughly unfit drinking purposes, and bathing, not. Question at all that those control the water supply have a good reason for this condition, but it does seem to me that they would have given the people some reason for I do who for ef- Mrs. M. P.

Mr. D N. xnuute Hunt, 5, is mail carrier on attending the State meeting of the rural mail car-, riers at Gastonia this week. He isrill be absent four or five days. Dr. Nick Cannady, Tuesday morn ing cabled his mother, Mrs. M. C. Cannady from overseas congratulat ing her on her natal day. "I am well and happy," said Dr. Nick. ior Ion as an officer of the town, to urge the people to boil all the wat ter they drink till this condition clears up, and so far as boiling is concerned it is their privilege to use it if it can be had for that purpose, if they feel so inclined. I am told by a member of the fire depart ment that there is no water in the tank, so of course we are at the irercy of the flames if they should get cut. It was urged a few years ago by those in authority, the Health offi cer among them, to fill all the wells and use the town water exclusively for all purposes. I for one am glad I did not heed thas advice. Large cities and some small towns are equipped for any emer gency in their water supply, but several of us have unpleasant ex periences in the matter of getting the right kind of water for domes tic purposes in Oxford. Now I feel quite sure this unfor tunate condition will soon be cor rected, for I know the men who control it, will not allow such con ditions to continue to exist. I trust however that they will tell the peo ple what the trouble is and just about how long they may expect to be inconvenienced and endangered by this absence of water. All people who use "what limited supply they can obtain should cer tainly boil before using.1 SAM'L. H. CANNADY, Health Officer. NEPKE" OF Mil. MIKE P. CHAMBLEE KILLED.

PUBLICITY COMMITTEE. DAILY PRAYER SERVICES. To Be Observed in St. Stephen's Church at 6:05 P. M. A ten minute daily prayer service will be observed in St. Stephen's church at 6:05 P. M. beginning on Tuesday, July 2nd. This service of public prayer in no way takes the plrce of the private prayer to which, by the Governor's request, we are summoned by the city and church bells daily at 7 o'clock. A very cordial invitation is given to the citizens of Oxford to join with xis in daily interecssions. for God's carfe and help in this war, so cruel ly thrust upon us. The hour 6:05 P. M. is selected as more conven ient to the men of the city, just af ter the closing of their offices and places of business. The few mo ments of intercession will be intro duced by the devotional readings of parts of the ninth chapter of the Book of Daniel. With the excep tion of next Thursday evening, cov ered by the public observance of July 4th, this opportunity for pub lic prayer will be observed daily un til further notice, with the exception of Mondays already used so faithful ly for another interecssory service. Djalma Marsliburn Loses Life May 20; Body Recovered aiid Iden- , tified June 15. The death by seaplane accident of Djalma Marshburn, the first Ral eigh aviator to lose his life in the war, was officially reported last week by the Navy Department. Ac cording to the telegram received and forwarded to his parents, now living in Richmond, he was killed May 20 at sea near France and his body was recovered June 15 and identified by aviators. His body was buried in a military cemetery in France. The telegram stated that his skull was fractured and neck zroken. - Djalma Marshburn was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Marshburn, who until recently resided at 201 S. Boy Ian avenue, Boyland Heights. Ho was a nephew of Mr. M. P. Ch' blee, of Oxford.

We are making every fort to bring our service back to normal, but it will take several days for parts of the .pump to reach, us by express. We find that a large amount of water is going absolutely to waste through faucet leaks. Small drips from kitchen and bath-room faucets soon waste an enormous amount of water. Flush tanks with automatic ball cocks and flush valves in the ordi nary copper flush tank seldom cut off absolutely tight. We will ap preciate it if you- will examine carefully all of your faucets and flush tanks and see that they are in good condition. For the pres ent at least we ask that our con sumers refrain from using water for sprinkling lawns. The co-operation of all of the people of Ox ford will be sincerely appreciated and we promise our best efforts to restore normal service at the ear liest moment possible. We are sparing neither money or time to get repairs made at once. The breakdown was absolutely r.navoidsble and was in no way due to lack of attention or sierht.
