F'lorala had a very low death rate
the past year. The mortality from all

of her entire population. In our pub
lie schools. with an enrolment of $50
pupils, there was not death last year.
In our three largest. churches, with
a membership of over 900 in all, there
were only. three deaths the entire
year. If such a low rate of mortal
ity should continue, the record would
clearly show the average life of a cit
izen of Florala that elsa centenarian,
before being called hence. Few cities
can claim as low a mortality for even
a year, and we do not expect such
a record to continue Indefinitely, and
that We should live always. -
