Physical examinations were held at the office of the theatre on Monday when members of the Black Cat club assisted Dr. Edward M. Stafford of Henderson in making the physical examinations. As a result of the physical examination cups were awarded six Warren babies as being the most healthy to be carried through the clinic.

(Pussyfoot) Johnson will discuss matters pertaining to the prohibition question at the court nuuse at warrenton on luesaay evening, March 31, at 8 o'clock, E. A. Skillman announced yesterday. Mr. Skillman this week received a message from Mr. Johnson telling him that the prohibition leader, accompanied by Col. Ebbert of the Anti-Saloon League, would pass through Warrenton on Tuesday and that they would be glad to address friends of prohibition and other citizens at a public meeting. Mr. Johnson is a boyhood friend of Mr. Skillman. Mr. Johnson has for a number of years been interested in the fight to outlaw whiskey and his battle has carried him practically all over the world, and won for him a wide reputation. While delivering an address in England shortly after the War students became incensed at some remarks he made and in an assault that followed, Mr. Johnson lost the sight of one eye. This is responsible for the patch to be seen in recent photographs carried in the daily press. Several years ago, while a guest of Mr. Skillman at Warrenton, following a recent trip to India, he delivered an address at the old Opera House where he told about conditions in India and his experiences in the prohibition fight over a period of years. Mr. Skillman yesterday asked that as many citizens as possible hear Mr. Johnson and promised an entertaining and instructive even- , ing.

Burwell Jr. of Warrenton. 1 The grading should be completed 1 within the next ten days, Mr. i Bright said yesterday.
