County health officer, Dr. C. W. Hunt
In his watchful care over the heall^
of the public greneraily; In his insist
ence on an early and strict enforce
ment of a county-wide quarantine
against the Influenza, and by his
exc^lent weekly messa.t^es on qucs-
t'ons cf health and sanitation, he has
rendered invaluable, services to the
entire County for which I feel this
word of appreciation will not be out

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT.
Friends of Miss Maybach will be in
terested in the follov/iYis: aniiounce-
in private liJe. Open, jronial, frank
and rnr4nly in association.^ v/ith all
v.ith whom he came inccntact, he was
especially deferential and respectful
to his superiors in aj^e.
But it was in his home life that
his brl}?ht, happy, sunny tempera
ment manifested itself. He w'as all
that a devoted father and mother
would ask.
1
Yes, Walter made good, although
he v.-as ever quiet about it and North
Carolina has lost another fine, clean
young man in the death of 'waiter
■Whitmire.
