PEOPLE EXCITED
BY MENINGITIS
One Family Leaves the
Many Scared

The excitement on Cavatts Creek,
produced by the deaths of number
of children from meningitis, has
abated but little. There has been
ten eases and five deaths. The last
case reported is u child of a Mr..
Peery, of that community. 1t is said
to be recovering.
The first cases were in the
family of Mr.. John w.
Gillespie-a son and daughter, both
of whom died. Two other children
of the same family have tho disease.
The next to succumb TO the disease
was the son of Mr.. C. III. Reynolds.
Then followed the death of two chill
dren of Robt. Porter, of tho same
community. Another ease, as stated
above, Is in the family of MIR. James
Peery. The disease has been pro-
nounced cerebro-spinal meningitis.
Another name for it is spotted fever.
tits infectious rather than contagious
and is nearly always fatal.
1t does its work quickly. All these
deaths occurred Inside of week.
The patent is taken usually with
vomiting and severe pains in the
head, and suffers greatly. Uncon-
seriousness sets in at once, and the
patient dies in convulsion and seem
ingly In great agony.
The cause of tho epidemic seems
to be in the water OF that commune
ty. The streams and springs are
very low and the water is strongly
impregnated with different mineral
substances. 1t is thought that as
soon as ram falls 10 as 10 raise tho
streams and springs the disease will
disappear.

much better on yesterday and still
better today. II has not had the

Homeless ~

What a dreary sound the word
has. 1t is associated in the mind
with loneliness, hunger and
threadbare clothing. Homeless
people are merely unwise people
(some of them). The owner of
a beautiful home may be homeless
tomorrow and all because of his
own fault--neglect of insuring.
A man is never left homeless
who is fully insured-even tho,
the flames consume his entire
belongings. You can begin to
rebuild the dav after the fire if
your policy is written by us.
Our companies are solid and
promptly settle losses.
