The Right to Hand 1t Around.


With all our fine pretenses of
GOOD will to mankind and brother
" love and that sort of thing, most
OF us prefer to preach such senti-
ments to the rest of the world and
practice different ethics ourselves.
For instance. when one of our own
family comes down with some acute
respiratory disease, goodness knows
what at first, do we practice this
good will to mankind bunk which
we are so fond of preaching? Not
much. We consider our own little
| convenience and business interest
only. In short, we ignore the IN
pleasant fact that practically every
such illness is infectious and when
spread to other persons may prove
serious or fatal, even though it
turns out a mild or trif1ing illness
in our own case. Ignoring this
| fundamental fact, and suppressing
any little twinges of conscience
which may annoy us, we decide TO
bear up and fight it"-that is to
say, instead of remaining voluntar-
| lily isolated for a reasonable period
| for the sake of public safety, we
insist on keeping about at work and
deliberately exposing all who come
i in contact with us to whatever il
lection we may happen to be ped
ding. That is about the extent of
most of this brotheriy love slush
We delight to- sling around.
All, but have we no defense? Huh.
A pickpocket is usually trying to
get his hands warmi We declare
solemnly that we don't believe"
common colds" are contagious, or
! that we are very careful" not to
| cough or sneeze or spit in peoples
faces, or that we just want to run
down to the office for an hour or
| two and come right back (mean-
while not counting the 20 or 40 poor
mortals we may have peppered ON
the rum. Oh, of course, people
with communicable diseases should
| be strictly isolated, but our case
isn't so very dangerous, is it? 1t is
| the same old story that presumably
honest and law-abiding citizens are
constantly DINING in the physi-
clans ears-give US special consid-
Grafton, doctor, and do not report

place quarantined, or do not report
the epidemic in our fair city; it
would tend to injure business!
The respiratory infections, all
| spread through contact or propin-
guilty with unisolated cases, consIi-
| tute a good four-f1fths of the every
| day sickness which keeps physi-
clans busy. Neither diphtheria nor
any other respiratory infection is
one whit more preventable or more

not always simple, coryza, or, as

house was over, for which the suf-

on the porch to talk over the days

SHERIFF IS READY
TO COLLECT TAXES

wish to announce to the tan
payers of Grenada County that the
books airs open and that we are ready
to collect taxes. Those who have
real estate, will greatly accommodate

milking errors by bringing their last

|Llen to pay poll taxes this year but
o are the women, so l hope the
ladies' will not over look this. I
want the public to not forget that
everybody cannot pay the last day
or during the last few days, hence
my advice is do not delay in this i'm
portant matter. However much |
might want to shield even nay best
friend who did not pay his taxes, I
would be pOwerless to do 80. The
law lays down very plainly the duties
of the Sheriff and he has no alterna-
tive. Another thing I want the tax
payers to think about, and that is that
we are a month and half behind the
time the books used to be opened for
taxes, hence it is all the more import
ant that there should be no delay.

of this section, came in the first Of

makes his home, being called here to
attend to some business matters.

the sad misfortune to lose his 19-year
old daughter, Miss Ruth. About a
year ago the young lady was afflicted
with influenza from which she never
fully recovered. Everything that was
possible was done for her without
avail and she passed away on New
Years day, interment being made al

ceded to the grave by her mother who
was buried here about eight years ago
