A NOTE TO PATRONS.

The public school is trying to CO., operate with the Hookworm Con- mission in making a survey of the children of the community. To this end we are giving the pupils boxes for collecting and bringing in speci- mems from which the examination will be made. We wish you would help us in the matter. The eXamlna- tion is free, it is private, it cannot hurt any one, and it may be the means of helping someone, if not your child, some other persons child. So please have the specimen returned Tuesday morning. If you are oppos ed to the examination, at least have the box returned.
 In case your child should show signs of infection, the fact will be made known to me; it is needless to assure you that the information thus given me will go no further than to the parents of the pupils infected. And even if your child is pronounced infected, the taking of treatment is not obligatory. Treatment is both op tional and free. But I am sure no parent is so careless of his child's welfare as to neglect the use of any reasonable means of it's betterment.
 Let us have a general survey. Your child may be the picture of health, but no matter. Even if no trace of infection is found, no harm has been done and no obligation in- cured. Respectfully,
 J P .WOMACK.

During the two weeks the hook worm campaign has been in progress 469 examinations have been made 351 of these being made during the second week, according to pr. W. P Jacocks. Fourteen infections, includ- ing all kinds were found last week only three of these being hookworm however
 "The very small amount of hook. worm disease which has been found so far is an encouraging feature ot the work from the point of view ot the county said pr. Jacocks today This fact furnishes an easy oppor- tunity, too for the entire eradication of the disease. If the citizens over the county see that large percent age of it's inhabitants are examined every one of these scattering cases may be found and treated and cured Every case, however, that is untreat- ed will be the focus for spreading the disease through the county and state again. Now is the time to get rid of this disease and prevent it's recur- renee
 Many schools were visited during the past week The question of hook worm disease and sanitation was ex- plained to teachers, pupils and visit ors. A hearty response followed in each instance, making it possible to examine large proportion of each school.
 Sanitation is being taught daily at each dispensary by means of talks, pictures and literature, and this knowledge will be of lasting benefit to the county

The Bulldogs are somewhat bruised and battered from the Henderson game Saturday, but intend to retain their record for not having been de- feated by the pedagogues. The game will doubtless be very entertaining.

The Country Ministers Salary.

The minister is paid when the money
comes in-that is, if it is enough to
balance all accounts; otherwise his
claim waits until the rest are paid. Said
the treasurer to me once: your sal
ary is 500 in arrears, but all the rest
of the bills are paid, This leaves the
books clear" That was at the end Of
the year. Usually the minister is paid
when the money comes in, which may
be once in two or three months.or tw' ce
a year, and have known instances
where the payment waits the end OF
the year, and. as in the above inStance,
is then not always ready. Sometimes
there is an agreement that the minister
shall be paid quarterly. but such agree
ment is generally made with the mem
tai reservation on the part of the
treasurer, at least. providing the
money is then in hand If it is not
then in hand the minister must wait
until il comes in. This, to the minister.
often becomes not only an annoyance.
but a hardship. II SUCH condition
were unavoidable, one would not COM
plain, but when the committee knows
that in the end all bills must be paid,
and are paid. it gets on ones nerves
to be put at such q disadvantaSe.-Jo o.

morning that the finishing touches to
