CARTHAGE
REVIVAL SERVICES AT VASS
HAVE PROMISING START
At the first service of the week’s
series at the Vass Presbyterian church
on last Sunday evening, the church
was filled with people from through
out this section and a wonderful ser-
v'ce was held. A choir of more than
sixty voices from the various churches
of the town, Lakeview, Cypress and
Union was led by B. R. Brigham and
many of the old favorites were sung.
These and the two solos by Mr. Brig
ham proved most inspiring.
The services will continue each
evening at 7:30 o’clock, ending with
the Sunday evening service which
will bring to a close a four weeks’
campaign in the four churches serv
ed by the Rev. C. A. Lawrence.
On Friday evening, the Rev. Mr.
Barber of Aberdeen will bring a spec
ial message to the young people and
while the young people are urged to
be present, all others are invited also.
At 3:00 o’clock Sunday afternoon a
service for men only will be held,
and it is hoped that every man who
can will be present for this service.
BABY LEWIS WANTS MILK
The Rev. Charles A. Lawrence
had the misfortune to lose his fine
cow last week by death. She had
been ill only a short time. When
baby Lewis was told that the cow
was dead and there would be no
more nice milk, he looked very so
ber for an instant, then said:
“Daddy get nunner cow, some
time.”

Many Attend Cancer
Clinic At Carthage
Beneficial Results Expected from
Visitations During Week of
Examinations
The cancer ciinic is over and the
hours of each day of the week ap
pointed for the clinic were filled with
examination of patients. Cancer pa
tients and those with suspicious symp
toms of cancer visited Carthage from
all parts of the county and even from
outside of the county for examination.
Some were advised to have immed
iate operation, others to put them
selves under treatment by their fam
ily physician and to keep strict watch
over suspicious symptoms. Those who
were unable to attend the clinic are
coming on some future date and any
one with any suspicion of cancer at
cll shall not let the matter rest un
til given expert medical advice.
“The reason for the cancer clinic
has been to create an interest in the
prevention and control of cancer end
we feel that as far as Moore county is
concerned our aim has been accom
plished,” says Dr. Symington, health
officer. “In addition to the examina
tion of patients and suspects much
literature has been distributed and
we hope that when the clinic is over
the interest in cancer and its preven
tion are continued. Cancer is now the
second greatest cause of death of all
the diseases in the United States. If
cancer is caused by a parasite it has
not yet been found, though some au
thorities maintain that all diseases
are microbic. We, know, however, that
any part of the body or any cell of
any organ of the body can set up
proliferation which eventually be
comes cancerous. The cause of this is
usually irritation, maybe mechanical
or maybe from some irritant in food
or drink or anything taken into the
body and hence the importance of be
ing careful in diet. Ail mechanical
medicinal and food irritants should be
avoided both externally and internal
ly for irritation from these often
cause cancer. It is now believed that
cancer is not hereditary and that it
is not contagious. Early diagnosis,
early treatment, and right living are
the three greatest preventatives of
cancer.”

CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW

At a meeting of the Parent-Teach-

22nd, it was decided that the annual
Chrysanthemum Show be postponed
until next year. Due to the dry weath
er this fall, the crysanthemums have
not been as large and perfect as us

public, it was deemed wisest to call
off the show this year.
