from the paths of rectitude and good
demeanor and gazed upon the adul-
terations of the still until all trees
and shrubs and other beauties of ma
ture danced in double rows before his
disordered vision was before the po'

Hugo, Okla, Dec. 17.-Because OF
the prevalence OF cerebro spinal
meningitis Judge Summers Hardy,

dismissed court at Idabel, there be-
ing too many cases at this time in
that county for the Judge to con-
tinue court.
Will Neal, a Valiant attorney,
was one of the victims Of the dis
ease. having died Tut a few days
ago. There are cases reported from
Broken Bow and other points in
McCurtain county and the preva-
lence caused Judge Hardy to dismiss

been sufficient of the disease to
cause apprehension in McCurtain
county.
A state board Of health report
for this section is not obtainable
at this moment, but there has been
sufficient of the malady this year to
cause alaram i nMcCurtain county
and state health officials are more
than usually alarmed over the NC
