MALTA WILL HAVE
NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.

Tuesday morning at ten O'Clock
at the office of l.. c. Edwards in this
city the contract for the new school
building was signea. The members
Of the board of education present
were L. G. Edwards, Fred St. Hill
and Chas. E. Secrest and the clerk
of the district, l. w. Murphy. Mr..
Montgomery represented the con-
tracing firm Of Montgomery & Son,
who were awarded the contract.
We are glad that we are able to
inform the public this week that
Malta will have a Aew school build
ing this summer and that the work
will be started in very short time
by Contractor Montgomery. The
question of bonding the district for
for a new school house and site was
voted on something like three
months ago and carried by large
majority. The company buying the
bonds seemed to think there was
something irregular in the proceed

State Bank of this city informed the
school trustees that they would

as was bid for them at the start. The
company represented by Mr. Hall in
formed him they could see nothing
wrong with the procedure and as
far as the drawing of the paper was
concerned they were strictly up to
standard. Time was getting very
limited in which to get a building
up for the fall term of school and
something had to be done and quick
ly if we were to have room for the
pupils at the beginning Of next term.
The new building will be located
on Seventh avenue south in the

Harry Cosner The building will be
of concrete and strictly modern in
every respect. The cost will be
about $4,000 when the building is
entirely finished.

Anderson could get out he went to
the assistance of Riley and succeed
ed in getting him back to the car,
which had not been damaged much, i,

the west bound Skidoo was stopped
and Riley taken to his home at
Havre. DR.. Clay met the train here
and accompanied Riley to Havre and
Mr.. Anderson remained here to re-
ceive medical treatment.

A Passenger Train

SIX MILES.

The story of race between an ordi-
nary hound dog" and a fast flying
New Orleans & Northeastern passen-
ger train north of Hattiesburg yester-
day afternoon, was brought to the city
by passengers on board the train.
The dog, using the cross ties as race
track, refused TO get out of the way of
the oncoming train, and for long
distance stayed in front of the engine.
The race was Witnessed by several pas
sengers and the train crew. The en-
gineer diminished the speed of the
train at times to prevent running down
the canine. After the first few min
utes of the race. the engineer tried to
see just how long the dog would stay
on the track
In crossing trestle the dog was un
able to remain on the track, and the
engineer thought the race was at an
end when the animal suddenly leaped
under the bridge The throttle was
opened, and at the same time the
Ihound reappeared and once more
placed himself directly in front of the
locomotive.
After about siv miles had been GOV

More work, prOpOrtionately toward
/ the eradication of hookworm has been
done in Forrest county during the last
three years, than in any county in the
South.
This is the belief of Dr. r. n. Whit
field, assistant director of public
health, connected with the Mississippi
Beard of Health. who has just e1&nplet-
ed three. sar's stay " the rural an
munities of Forrest, and who will be
transferred shortly after the first OF
the year to the Delta, where he will
assist in fighting malaria in some cOun-
ty in that section.
The records of Dr. Whitfield. which
have just been completed and soon
will be sent to the State Board of
Health in Jackson, shows that there
has been a decrease of nearly 80 per
cent in hookworm cases in Forrest
county during the three years that he
has been engaged here.
Not only has this dread disease been
greatly reduced, but the standards OF
living in the rural residents of For
rest have been raised to noticeable
extent. Their general health condi-
tions are better in every respect, the
health expert says.
"One more year of work in Forrest
such as the one just completed Dr.
Whitfield continued, would be worth
$4,000 or more TO the county"
DR.. Whitfield completed his work
here yesteray and left for his home
in the central part of the State. Later
| he will go to New Orleans, where he
will take a special course in the treat
ment of malaria, and later in the year
with a corps of malarial experts, un
der DR.. w. S. Leathers, he will go tc
| the Delta, where the same kind of &
fight against that disease as that
waged against hook worm here, will
be engaged in.
This year. DR.. Whitfield and his as
sistans traversed 1917 miles of rura
communities, visited 704 families, ant
examined 2,233 persons.
The following table shows that the
decrease in the number of hookwOrn
cases in the county has been nearly
| so per cent:
