ringworm, and these parasites were cultivated from a single specimen over
night. Widespread evidence of this disease, which has caused some schools to
close and has indicated that an outbreak of it might come to any village or
city of the United States, has caused medical men in all parts of the country
to study means by which it may be eradicated. Constant use of antiseptic
is being urged as a means to aid the fight against this age-old malady which
has recently take a more serious appearance in this country. The photo

are constantly studying the disease in an effort to control it.

JOHN LAMB
.The. residence of Mir. .on J Ms;v T.
A. Moore, near Joe, N. C, in the
Meadow Fork section of Madison
county was burned Wednesday of
last week. It was thc;ht that a
piece of paper put into the stove
found its way up the flue and lodged
on the moss covered roof. Mr,
Moore was out in the field, and
when Mrs. Moore found her house
on fire, she could not get to it her
self, and before she could give the
alarm and get help, the flames had
gone too far to be extinguished. The
house and furniture were valued at
something like $1500 with no insur
ance. Mr. Carl Stamey, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Till Stamey, of that section,
was in Marshall Monday soliciting
funds with which to help replace the
loss. Mr. Moore is said to be an
honest, hard-working iryn and has a
family of wife and four children, all
but one of whom are small. All
that was saved was a talking ma
chine, some quilts, 1 bed, and some
clothes. It will be remembered that
Mr. Moore was a candidate for coun
ty commissioner in the last primary
election. He appreciates the help
of his neighbors and all those who
have in any way contributed to his
aid.
