ton to the wonderful fact that for
two whole years Lynnville had had
no death within one mile of the
town and the healthfulness of the
place was proverbial. Then the
sanitary condition was good Since
then the SAINT airy condition has
been overlooked, thinking no doubt
that her natural healthfulness would
overcome any kind of condition.
Hog pens and stables have been
erected in the midst of the town,
great heaps of decaying saw logs
have lain for year in the center of
town, stock pens are in the heart of
the town, the garbage of kitchens
have no system of removal, and
then recently huge distillery cast
ing out thousands of bushels of de-
cayed pummice near The town
spring. There are several cases of
typhoid fever in town and much
sickness for the past twelve months.
We only advert to these facts hop
ing they may do good-that the
sanitary conditian of our town may
be looked into. / should think the
town ought to have a board of
health. The growth of the town
and the Importance of health alike
demand it. Lynnville has felt little
of the dull times that have come so
near killing many towns this year.
She has been on a boom or healthy
growth at least all the while. If it
can keep it's health record right it
will contine to prosper. Relegate
stillhouses and hog raising to the
country where they belong.
Prof. Smith and wife are visit
ing their old home and friends at
Towncreek, Ala, this week.
ID. F. McLaurine, breeder of
the red jersey hogs, reports one Is
months old sow that had 16 fine
pigs last week. He says it is not
uncommon for them. No wonder
pork is low with such pork facto-
ries.
-Robt. L. Wells died last week
at his brother in laws, Robt. Jeter
He removed to Dixon county q
year ago when he was taken with a
kidney trouble. He only lived 3
few days after his return. He join
ed the church before his death. He
was an old bachelor of 45 a man
whom everybody liked.
Our venerable friend Mr.. A. A.
Dickerson was found in his bed
Sunday morning in dying condi-
ton. He had stroke of paralysis
during the night. Medical attend
ance was at once summoned and
all that medical skill could do was
done. Drs. johnson and Gray are
attending HIM at this writing Mon
day EVENING"; he is only slightly
better with only slight hopes of re-
covery. He is rs and is honorcd
and loved by all who know him.
He was very well on retiring.
Very strange to say bis little grand
child, infant son of j. w. DECKER
son, had a severe stroke of paraly-
sis Sunday night from which it is
feared it will not recover.
Miss Mary Jones goes this
week to Florida to spend the winter
with relatives and to try the tropics
for her health. She is much better
now than for year or more; in fact
her friends think she is well.
Mr.. G. G. Anderson was called
home to Kentucky to see his mother
who we learn is recovered. Will,
Fry occupies his place at the depo
while he was gone. The want of ,
night operator and agent is sadll
felt here by the travel. Three
tourtbs of the travel is on the nigh
trains from here, including the ear
ly train. The passengers have t.
take their chances in the dark am
dag the trains. We do think ther
! should be a change made to accom-
J modate trade.
There was a black, slick negr'
