Schools and Churches Closed to
Prevent Spread of Small Pox-
Locals.
| Since one or two mild cases of
small pox have appeared at Lyndon,
| brought by a man who has been
visiting there from Greensboro, the
health officer has deemed it wise to
close all public meetings and gave
an order to that effect Saturday.
There will be no schools, no church
meetings, no dances, moving pictures
or any public assemblies whatever,
until further notice. There are no
| cases in this village and it is hoped
these prompt precautions may pre-
vent any.
