Don't forget rat-killing day!
Thursday, July 10. Tell your
neighbors.
WeakIey county farmers
and townspeople ought to
make a big effort to extermil
nate Mr.. Rat.
The small child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Finch Norman, residing
on an adjoining farm to the
county farm, two miles west of
Dresden, died Saturday night
of theh terrible disease which
is raging among the children
of this county and which is
carrying so great a number of
them off. We are informed
that more than thirty have
died during the past several
weeks of this disease, which
some have diagnosed cholera
infantum. A great deal of in
terest has been aroused~b be-
cause of so many deaths from
| the disease. The child of Mr..
and Mrs. Norman was laid to
rest at the Martin graveyard.
The bereaved young parents
have the sincere sympathy of
many friends in this first great
sorrow.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dildy,
living several miles southwest
of Dresden, have the profound
sympathy of their friends in
their present great sorrow,
occasioned by the death on
last Friday of their precious
babe, aged 18 months. The
little fellow was stricken with
the terrible disease which is
raging among the children and
soon succumbed. The body
was laid to rest on Friday at
Tragis Chapel. This disease
is carrying off the children in
this community in large NUM-
bers, and the Enterprise feels
that, since local physicians
have done all in their power to
abate it, an appeal ought to be
made in behalf of these chill
dren to the federal govern
Iment for aid. We believe the
government would send a spe-
Cia list here, as it did last year
t. New Yor1 and other places
when infantile paralysis was
raging.
