DOG PRONOUNCED
TOHAVE RABIES

DR.. Litterer, state bacteriologist,
after an examination of the head OF
the dog belonging to Joe L. Hol-
brook, pronounced the dog afflicted
with rabies.
Since then other dogs here bitten
by the dog belonging to the negro
have died under peculiar circum-
stances, and it is safe to assume that
there are at this time no less than
30 or 100 dogs in and around Ores
den that are liable to develop rabies
at any tine, since this dog was al
lowed to run at large for an entire
day and night, All dogs ought to
be carefully watched and the first
signs of anything wrong they should
be promptly killed.
tt an outrage upon this commu-
nifty that this dog was allowed to
run free, biting other dogs innum-
cradle and endangering the lives Of

DRAINAGE MEETING TO

An important drainage meeting
will be held here at the court house
next Monday at / o'clock, when all
those interested in the Middle Fork
drainage project are urged to be
present. There seems to be little or
no opposition to this drainage
scheme. In fact, the recently con-
structed drainage ditch in Henry

our citizens. This will mean the re-
clamation of many acres of very
fine virgin soil.

Dresden Postoffice Handles
Tremendous Volume of
Christmas Mail.

The Christmas 1919 mail coming
though and going out of the Ores
den postoffice will go down as the
biggest Christmas mail ever dis
patched here. While there was at no
time a congestion, due to the syste-
matte manner in which Postmaster
Brasfield and his three assistants
handled the voluminous matter, vet
there were tremendous piles upon
piles of mail handled through this
postoffice from the pre-holiday pc
Rod clear up to Saturday after
Christmas day.
Both the outgoing and incoming
mail was heavy. Friends from afar
sent packages and they in turn re-
ceived packages, both going through
this postoffice. Mr.. Brasfield, like
shrewd old mariner, had prepared
in clear weather for the approaching
storm by providing efficient and
extra help. This, together with the
long, late hours he worked, saved
his bacon, otherwise he would have
been swamped amid an avalanche
of Christmas boxes and bundles and
packages.
In addition to the unusually heavy
Christmas mail, there were dozens
and dozens - big mail sacks full of
leaf tobacco sent OUT from this post
office during the busy period. A
number of tobacco growers this Vi.
entity are selling their product d.
rect to the consumer, as the law al
lows them to do All this tobacco
goes out by mail, in one, two and
fWe-pound packages. 1t goes to all
parts of the west and southwest.
This, added to the big Christmas
mail gave the Dresden postoffice the
appearance somewhat OF a city Gus
tom house.

During the same week Jesse Riggs,
near Pisgah, was shot by Lloyd Ora
ham. Riggs was repairing gate

when he fired the gun. Several shot
struck Riggs in the face. However,
only flesh wounds were inflicted.
