ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY
No Contest for Any City Office and
Very Light Vote Expected

Lest somebody forget it and no
doubt a lot of people will forget It,
it should be said that the general city
election is to be held next Tuesday
at the usual hours and at the usual
polling places. There are no contests
for any of the Offices and doubtless a
very quiet time will be had. The only
addition to tire primary election tick
ct will be the name of L. C. Gardner
whose name will appear on the ballot
as the nominee for councilman from
the Third ward, his name having been
written in by a number of the pri-
mary election voters.

impossible to keep so many heads cool
and the little ones focked around the

colleagues. But this small boy kept
beth his color and his GOODNESS.
Standing on o bench and raising his
hand, he exclaimed: "Please, teacher,

MUST BE CAREFUL SAYS
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
Public Should Continue to Exercise
Every Reasonable Precaution
Because of Flu

DR.. Walter Morrison, county health
officer, said this morning that while
there had been number of new cases
of influenza reported this week there
is no cause for alarm. "We shall prob
ably have to expect these little flurries
all winter and they should but empha-
size the necessity for ceaseless vigil
lance in dealing with the epidemic.
Until not only this community but the
entire country has been absolutely
freed from the contagion the public
must exercise every reasonable pre-
caution. Needless exposure and neg
lect in promptly dealing with the first
symptoms of cold should be avoided.
For the most part the disease is man
ifesting itself in a mild form and
while there is no cause for alarm,
there is every reason for precaution."
