pie of these counties and communities
enjoy much better health than they did
before employing such officers. Those
sections also show more prosperity
because of the economic value OF
keeping well and fit for service the

Also, your State Board of Health
maintains a we'll equipped laboratory
in which is made for the physicians
as an aid to them in diagnosing the
cause of your illness, examination of
various kinds of specimens from their

that he is as free from the veneral
diseases as he is from smallpox and

A thorough physical examination is
recommended. The laboratory of the
State Board of Health stands ready
to help the physician in such an ex-
animation without cost.
Since most diseases are prevent.
able, we can prevent them, as may
be illustrated in the control of small

Next Twelve Months
if Plahs are Carried
Out.

If the plans that are now on loe'
are carried out which we are sure
will be, more than Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars will be spent for
improvements in Lee County with
in the next twelve mouths.
e The money for the erection OF
two modern school buildings at
Leesburg and Smithville is now in
the hands of The County Board OF
Education and they are advertising
for bids and work will begin at
once.
The City OF Smithvilie has had
a survey made OF that town FOL
Lights and Waterworks and it has
been rumored that they will hold
an lection and vote bonds for this
improvement.
The City of Leesburg has voted
$4,000 for Drainage and this work
will be done this year. The City
Council has also ordered survey O
the town for sewerage and water
works which is very much neede'
and will probably go through with.
ia the next-twslve months. r

What we need now so our town
can grow is for our citizens to star

families who are very anxious Il
move to I.eesEurg but cannot OF
account of not being able to find a

store building to be had. We think
that either one would be good
investment.
We have been informed that the

that there IS not a house for rent.
With all Of this going on our

Bill Chamberlain, chief cashier in the
Sandell five per cent bank, down on
the west end of the street, got busy
without letting Uncle William m on
the secret and completely remodelcd
the bank, papered the walls and put
in new lights, and fixed things in two
hundred different woys for the bet
ter. The whole arrangement suite
Uncle William all right, however, and
Bill still has his position, only with
a raise in his pay for the enterprise
and initiative displayed during the
boss absence. Uncle William said
that the only thing which was the
same about the bank as before he
left was the fact that they were still
paying five per cent. Bill hadn't
changed the rate Of interest.
