Hog Cholera Is Spreading Over Warren County Kog cholera is again doing its destructive work among hogs in Warren county. During the past week, I was celled' to eight farms to look after sick hogs. In seven of these cases, I found the hogs suffering with cholera. And through quick work I was able to save 21 of these hogs by vaccinating them. However, one man lost four of his hogs as they died before the medicine got here from Raleigh. The greatest number of cases of cholera to date seems to be in Cool Spring section of the county. However, I found cne case in Macon which was fatal. May 1 aavise tnat you ao nut wait until cholera is on your farm nor your neighbor's farm before you have your hogs vaccinated. To do this you will be taking a gTeat risk, as it has been found that a large number of hogs that are vac. oinated after being infected die. Under normal conditions, it will cost about 28 to 40 cents per hog to have them vaccinated; whereas when infected it will cost almost twice that amount to do the same work. By close cooperation with us, we ran stamp out the cholera in Warren county, which will be a great ;aving to the farmers. My services are free. I shall be dad to advise or serve you in any rapacity you may wish. Yours for service, C. S. WYNN, Negro Farm Agent.

Following the wreck, which occurred on a straight stretch of road, he was carried to Henderson hospital where he succumbed to his injuries around 10:30 o'clock that night. Neither Bennie Williams nor the other occupants of his car?James Allgood and Endy Allgood?were seriously hurt in the crash which badly damaged both automobiles. The cause of the accident is not known. Coroner Jasper W. Shearin stated that Bennie Williams and Endy Allgood told him that the car being operated by King was not apparently traveling at an excessive rate of speed and appeared to be on the right side of the road until it got within around 20 feet of their car and then drove headlong into it. Mud on the highway, alleged to have dropped from the cars whn they struck, indicated that King's car was on Williams' side of the Toad, the Coroner stated. Williams was traveling towards Norlina and King was coming to Warrenton Citizens Bank Capital Stock To Be Increased The capital stock of the Citizens Bank at Warrenton is to be increased from $20,000 to $25,000, R.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME NUMBER 22 VETERANS TO GET HUGE PAYMENT Former Soldiers of Warren To Receive Approximately Quarter Million Dollar EXPECT BUSINESS BOOST Approximately a quarter of a million dollars is expected to flow into the hands of Warren county veterans with tihe payment of the bonus on June 15. The state is to receive a total of $34,622,162.80. With the distribution of these adjusted service certificates, business in this section is expected to receive the biggest boost since the depression. Economists contend the spending of a dollar creates $5 in buying power. Therefore, if veterans of this county spend their bonus paying debts, buying clothes, furnish, ings, homes, household equipment*, automobiles, etc., there will be created buying power approximating $1,500,000. Economists predict every industry will feel the invigorating effect# of this new life blood for business, pointing out its effects will flow back through a myriad of industries to farms and factories. Meanwhile, as the Treasury Department works night and day preparing bonds totaling $3,458,770,834 for 3,515,369 veterans throughout/ the country, Veteran Bureau officials announced more than two million applications had been approved.

Laundry Woodpile Gives Fire Scare Fire starting in the boiler room of the Harris & Gardner Pressing Shop and Laundry and spreading to a large pile of outsldes adjacent to the building caused considerable excitement here on Wednesday evening about 9 O'clock, but a small amount of damage. The town responded en masse when the siren sounded and gath. ered around the flames back of the building as Harold R. Skillman smothered the blazing pile of outsides with a garden hose while firemen attempted to get their apparatus to function. A porroded coupling, which prevented the hose from being disconneced, was said to have been responsible for the delay on the part of the local fire company, which was approximately 15 minutes in getting water on the fire after the alarm had been given.
