WARNINGS!

Smallpox is prevalent in Roa-
noke Rapids township and in
CASTOR township, Northampton
County. There has been no oc.
curance in the town so far. Due
to the fact that there is no
quarantine in the Country Dis
trict, in order to prevent another
outbreak in the town, as it was
last winter, it becomes the duty
of all good citizens to have them
selves vaccinated at once, This
does not apply to any individual
who has been successfully vac
cinated in the last three years.

Baptist Church News Notes

During the month of October
the church has made gratifying
progress. The congregations
have been unusually large and
responsive.
The senior and junior B. Y. ?.
U. are getting down to real
work. In these two organl2a,
tions there are about GO persons
who have begun daily sys.
tematic Bible Study. Many who,
heretofore, have never taken an
active part in the Lords work
are doing things.
The Sunday School is getting
into fine shape, the attendance
having increased considerably
during the month, making the
average much above what it was
last year this time. The pastor
and his assistants are now busy
working up a Cradle Roll and
Home Department, in connection
with the school; with these new
features and the newly organized
Teachers Class thelschoo reaches
7 out of the 10 points required in
the Standard of Excellence"
adopted by the Southern Baptist
Convention.
Beginning with this week the
pastor will start at the Wednes-
day prayer meeting, a series of
discussions on the general theme:
Training in church member
ship" The fine new blackboard
will be used in making these
talks plain and practical.
The church made a fine report
at the recent Association. There
are 60 churches in the Roanoke
Association; out of the 60 there
are only seven that are stronger
than ours. Our invitation to meet
with us next year was accepted
by the Association and all ex-
pect to give same a royal recep-
ton next October.
The recent special welcome
service for the new members held
at our church was a big success
and an inspiring occasion.
Five more members have cast
their lot with us during the
month and the good work goes
on. God be praised for his multi
tudinous blessings

WHAT RED CROSS
SEALS HAVE DONE
Helped Pay the Salary Of Twenty
Two Visiting Nurses

THE most important thing
that Red Cross seals have done
in the past year." said DR.. l.. B.
McBrayer, Executive Secretary
of the State Red Cross Seal
Commission, is to pay in part or
in full the salary of twenty-five
whole time visiting nurses. 1t is
impossible, said he, to calcu-
late the amount of good done by
these nurses in alleviating the
suffering of those who have been
unable to employ a nurse and to
provide for themselves the ordi-
nary necessities of life. This
nursing, however, has not been
confined to those suffering with
tuberculosis altogether, but
wherever the suffering was found
uncared for, there was this an
gel Of mercy with her tender,
helpful ministrations. Like the
lowly Nazarene, they teach as
they go, teach people how to
keep from getting sick, how to
keep from spreading disease to
others in their family and else
where. In this way every per-
son in North Carolina becomes a
debtor to these visiting nurses.
THE Red Cross seals have
sent patients to the State Sana-
torium, where they were restor-
ed to health and returned home
to care for themselves and their
families, becoming thus an
economic asset to the State in
stead of a total loss with added
expense. The Red Cross seals
have also been the means of
carrying lectures and exhibits to
people who would not otherwise
have had this privilege, and of
carrying food to tuberculosis
patients who have no money to
spend for food.
These are only a few exam
pies" continued DR.. L. B.
McBrayer, of what Red Cross
seals have done in our State We
feel that they are going to do
far more along this line of work
next year. They will soon be
put on sale and should be offered
for sale at every eros roads and
village, at every postoffice and
every school in the State. -
DR.. l.. B. McBrayer whose ad-
dress is Sanatorium, N. c., will
be glad 10 furnish every interest
ed person with all the seals they
can either sell or use.

Prosperity Is Here
Declares Railroad Man

Portland, Ore, Aug. lS.-Prosperity
is more than ION the way" it rs here.
This was the declaration today Of
President j. NJ. Hannaford, of the
Southern Pacific, who with number
of other officials is on a tour Of in
spection.
We are prosperous. We have every
essense Of business life-plenty Of mon
ey in tae banks subject to loan at low
interest on reasonable security. Above
all, there is the crops.
Northern Pacific crop experts fol
months have been estimating and com
piling. They had it figured out that
the total crops Of all sorts in all the
territory tributary to the Northern Pa
cific will average more than IS per
cent above that of last year.
" II is easy to estimate crops" ," Han
naford remarked, but the encouraging
thing s that the actual thrcsner meas
urement Of grain being harvested bears
out these estimates. The meaning OF
this should be plain to every one-bip
crops, more money, more prosperity.

more of the publicity possible at the

tive, and doing very much to bring Ore
gon to the forefron> He is especially
pleased at the extraordinary success of
the domestic science demonstration,

of Oregonians outside Of Portland, and
tremendous number of names Of pco-

proof of their pleasure and satisfaction
with the service comes in the fact that
very many Of them are repcaters three,
