However, the Norfolk Southern has agreed to maintain a spur track out to the larger peach orchards for use in shipping during the peach sea son. It is unlikely that the railroad Wi'l find any difficulty in abandoning the service between the two points. Work of tearing up the track w’ill be start ed as soon as permission has been granted. W'ith the discontinuance of railw'ay service to Jackson Springs practic-il- ly all connections to the once famous resort will be .sev’ered. The depot will necessarily be closed. A hundred years ago Jackson Springs was not ed as a spa and was drawing center from a wide area. Later whtn the railroad was built and four passen ger trains ran in the town each day its fame as a summer resort grew larger still.

Clerk of Superirr Court John W’illcox and George W’ill cox of Carthage and Martin W’illcox of Carbonton, three brothers, also sui-vive. Willcox was a native of Chatham county, this state. At the time of his death he was the dean of the Florence bar, and was a member of the membership committee of the .\merican Bar Association. He be came ill at the annual meeting of th(?

I.iast year’s county Seal P.ile brought in $1.5-12.16, of which S385.lii went to the State Association for its work among school children of the state, and ?22-85 to public schools of the county, leaving a bal ance of $1,131.00. These receipts were enhanced by an appropriation from the Board of County Commissioners of 1,400, from private donations of $510.00, and from families of pa tients of $70.66. 'Ihe committee had in the bank on November 25th the sum of $394.19. It is hoped that this year’s Seal Sale will break all previous records, for there is still much to be done throughout the county in the war against the disease. There are still many patients to be cared for, eith er in the sanitorium or in their homes, and there are many families of p.\- tients to be watched against conta gion.
