examination. Any person breaking
quarantine will be SUBJECT to fine or
imprisonment. The general opin-
ion among the we'll thinking men Of

disease broke out here, the COM
munity would have been free from
this terrible disease at the present
time. Business houses will resume
their general routine of business as
usual before the disease broke out

WOOD FOR FUEL URGED

To increase the use of wood as a
substitute for coal for domestic use
this winter, the fuel administration
has urged all state administrators
to organize burn wood" campaigns.
The plan is for city or county fuel
deputiese, particularly in the eastern
states to arrange for wood at rea-
sonable prices thru the operation of
wood yards and by taking orders
from consumers and then arrang-
ing with farmers to supply it at fair
prices. Wood-cutting clubs as a
medium thru which the price can be
kept at low level also is suggested.

Mrs. A. F. Gavoille,
My Dear Sister:
am writing you a few lines to
explain things. l received a letter
from mother the other day. asking
me to write to you more often.
Well how is everything in the little
town of Blackfoot, thousands Of
miles over the sea? wish l could
see over the many miles that separ-
ate us and see just what all of you
are doing.
1t is now three o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and ! am sitting at my desk
trying to think of something that
would interest you. 1t is a very nice
day, still, and the sun is shining
very bright.
Everyone is happy today. The
flags of every nation are flying from
the windows of the thickly inhab-
tied French towns. The day has at
last arrived, the time that the French
people have looked forward to for
four long years. Everyone is wear
ing smile, and when a Yank passes
he is cheered by the throngs of
French people. A truck-load of Ger
man prisoners just came down the
street, but they wore sad faces. Bells
are ringing, whistles, are blowing,
even the whistles on the steamers
are helping to spread the good news.
l have told you in the best way
can how we feel over here. I sup
pose you all feel the same in Amer
lea, but I don't think that the peo-
pie in America can realize the happi-
ness that it brings to the French,
Who have been trodden on for four
long years.
am having good time and hope
to be home soon. Tell Con and
Frank hello for me, and kiss all the
children.

CARD OF THANKS

It is my sincere wish that the kind
ly sympathy to my family and myself
by the people Of Scotland Neck upon
the death of my mother, Mrs. Lucretia
B. Aston should not 60 without due
recognition.
During the sad hour there is usually
little thought to little matters Of de-
tail, but we all noticed how kindly
these had been attended to without our
knowledge, which makes these atten-
tons more particularly pleasant now
that we have time to consider.
All my family wish therefore to
join me in extending to all our friends
our heartfelt thanks for their kindness
and sympathy during the time Of our
deep distress and sorrow.

FINE CONCERT MONDAY NIGHT

Mrs. Avera has a reputation which
is We'll established. She has often
sung throughout the state and each
time she wins great appreciation.
Her voice has a sweetness that is
not so often surpassed and she knows
well how to interpret the different
styles of song.
Miss Johnson, who comes from Mere
dith college, Raleigh, has strong,
rich and beautiful voice She sings
simply and naturally, without any af-
fectation. An artistic temperament
joined to modest and charming per-
sonality, makes her singing doubly
pleasing and appealing.
Mr.. Talmadge, young and gifted
violinist, is the assistant violin pro-
.fessor at Meredith College, having
come from Oberlin college Ohio. His
tone is full and pure, his execution
clear, and with it all he has musical
temperament.
We are fortunate to have three such
good artists come to our town, and il
| is earnestly hoped that we show gu;
appreciation by having crowded
house to hear them.
