"wednesday morning, August 10, at
Waunita Springs. Her death was
caused by the dread disease. pellegra,
nov prevalent in the south. with a
high death rate, which President
Harding has referred to the medical

several cases in Chicago. says this is
the worst one he ever had, as it was
complicated by Brights' disease of
three years standing. Pellegra itself

not germ disease and not conta-

name was Julia Hogan, and she was
we'll known and highly respected in
this county. The entire sympathy of
the Waunita community is extended.

Dear Sir: Our Mr.. S. B. Caring

phone that petition has been start
ed to keep US from building a SER
vice station on the proposed site at
Main and Wilson streets. This is
unfortunate.
1t will be impossible for our Mr..
Darlington to be in Mt. Sterling this
next week ON account of previous
engagements. We are enclosing
herewith a photograph Of one of our
stations, the construction of which
is similar to what we would put in

plans and specifications and we
wish you would endeavor to see the
parties who are circulating this Pc
tition together with as many Of the
signers as you feel it is necessary,
and endeavor to get them to under
stand that a station of this sort will
not depreciate their property and
win not be any sort of nuisance in
any way, shape or form.

principal towns, and in some local.

There are no odors-the places are
kept neat and clean and attractive.
There is no more noise in connection
with one them than there is from an
ordinary street through which au-
tomobiles pass and we do not believe
that the good people of Mt. Sterling
realize all these facts. We further
do not believe that they want to
stand in the way Of the growth and
