Who Will Serve?
Forsyth has two county ply sicians.
DR.. E. f. Strickland, of Bethania,
was elected by the County Commits
sioners yesterday. and DIR. D. N. Dali
ton, the former physician, was
reelected by the County Board of
Health, composed of the physicians of
Forsyth county.
There are conflicting opinions as to
who is entitled to the Office. The law
says that.the county physician must
be elected by the Board of Health the
first Monday in September, and in
case they do not meet the County
Commissioners will elect one sat their
next meeting.
Several PHYSICIANS met here on the
first Monday in September, but fail
ing to secure a quorum, no election
was held. This left the election, it
appears, in the hands of the County
Fathers, who chose DR.. Strickland
The latter was sworn in and his oath

Deeds to be recorded.
The physicians met in the court
room at II O'Clock Monday anG
