DISAGREEMENT IN DIST. 4
OVER LOCATION OF ROAD

Three distinct routes for the Port
Gibson-Hermanville road are being
urged. All Of this road is in Dist.
No. 4, and the three commissioners,
9. A. Taylor, j. L. Lor and 7. E. Sugg,
are IN quandary over the matter.
The old or ridge route is urged by
number of residents of the district,
while an equally large number are
advocating making the main line to
60 by the Humphreys, Newlin, Cor
oon and Button places, going into the
old road at S. E. DudIeys. Other tax
payers are eager for an entirely new
route, TO be known as the valley route.
anls 6s road is planned to go up the
66ayou valley after crossing the Port
,Glpson bridge. 1t will follow the foot
mills along the bayou until within a
rev miles of Hermanville it is to
follow another valley.
Surveys have been made of the two
lnrst named routes, and these will
nave to be submitted to the State
highway Commission. There is no
way way Of figuring how the controversy
viii end.

PLANNING TO ERECT
new STORE BUILDING
Louis Abraham & Sons Contemplate
Tearing Down the Old Kaufman
Building and Replacing 1t With
Modern Structure.

Louis Abraham & Sons, who obught
the kaufman corner, on Main and
Walnut street last spring, and plan
ming to have the building which is
now occupied by the Claiborne Smoke
House torn down and erecting in its
place a modern store. The plans are
now in the hands of Contractor B. F.
Minis.
The new building will be but one
story, but it will face SO feet on Wal
nut street and extend along Main
street to depth Of 116 feet, 16 feet
longer than the present building. In
the rear of the store will be a rest
room with all conveniences where
ladies who come to town to shop may
spend their idle moments. This will
fill a long-felt want. The Kings
Daughters have had such place at
the court house, but because Of the in
convenience of the location it was not
used to the extent they hoped it
would. The Abraham rest room will
be in one Of the most ocnevnient parts
of town, right on the street, and yet
private enough to make it desirable.

SURGEON GENERAL
TALKS ABOUT FLU
Probable but by no Means Certain
There Will be a Return of Disease
This Year.

Washington, Sept. 1s.-"Will the
flu come back this year"
This question is being asked by
thousands of scientists and millions
Of laymen throughout the world. 1t
is discussed by. Surgeon General Blue
Of the public health service in an Of
ticial bulletin in which it is said the
plague probably will reappear but not
as severe as last winter.
Probably, but by no means GER
talnty, there viii be recurrence Of the
influenza epidemic this year." says
General Blue. Indications are that
should it occur, it win not be as se-
we're as the epidemic of the previous
winter City officials, state and city
boards Of health, should be prepared
IN the evnt of recurrence. The fact
that previous attack brings immun-
itty IN certain percentage of cases
should allay fear on the part of those
afflicted in the previous epidemic.
influenza is spreadby direct and
indirect contact. tits not yet certain
that the germ has been isolated. or
discovered, and as a consequence here
Is as yet no positive preventive ex-
cept the enofrcemnt of rigid rules Of
sanitation and the avoidance of per-
ssonal contact. A close relation be-
tween the influenza pandeomic and the
constantly increasing pneumonia NOR
ttality rate prior to the fall of 1919
Is recognized. 1t is now believed the
disease was pretty widely dissent
mated throughout the country before
It was recognized in its epidemic state.
Ihls failure to recognize the early
cases appears to have largely been
due to the fact that every interest
was then centered on he war"
