The Chamber of Commerce Roads
and County Interests committee has
assumed responsibility for entertaining
the convention. one of the most i'm
portant prearrangements being made is
to assist the county commissioners in
having the roads from the county line
via Wilson and Lone Grove dragged and
put in the finest possible condition just
ahead of the arrival of the delegates
Another duty of the same character will
be to see that the road south via Mari
eta and Thackerville to the GAINESVILLE

Other committees are arranging for

The house-warning planned for last
Monday had 10 be abandoned. There
we're just naturally too many things
TO do to crowd this one in. However
if the members will exercise their usual
patience we will have this house

late as to resemble a house warming
over-something like Mother used to
warm over for supper what was left
from dinner.

White, that by a right attitude of

that many persons have contracted
the disease through fear.
People can deceive themselves into
thinking they have any disease on the

A recommendation that newspapers
prepare editorials citing the immunity
which Christian Scientists enjoy from
influenza, and urging the use OF COM
mon sense and a calm attitude Of
mind in conquering fear of infection,
was made by H. w. Byers, corpora
ton counsel for the city. The recom-
mediation was Endorsed by the COM

were asked to quote the committee to
that effect.
Entirely too much publicity has
been given to supposed symptoms Of
