In recent weeks this in stitution has been over run with patients, who have received the best possible attention of modern medicine, and many difficult operations have been successfully performed.
 Perhaps one of the most evident in stances of life saving that can be at- tributed directly to the services of. the hospital was the case of Eugene Less ley. On the afternoon, of March 30 Lesley received a pistol wound that punctured his intestines in thirteen places. Within two hours after this happened he was on the operating table of Sylacauga infirmary where his bowels were skillfully treated and his wounds properly cared for. while the surgeons themselves doubted the suc- cess of the operation. He rallied from this operation in less than month, on the twenty-fourth day of April to be exact, he was discharged from the hos pital and is nov able to be out. Had this institution not been in Sylacauga he would never lived to have reached one in another city.

beth Drummer, charged with shop-lift-
inc, has been continued until April l

indicating that the police could re-
arrest. = Vaudreuil said he did not want

for her for money, although all she
had was the earnings she made as a

Health Department
Issues Warming
Health Director Urges Persons Who
Have Not Been Vaccinated Re-
Gently to Report for Serum.

Three cases Of smallpox have been
reported to the city health depart
ment, it was announced today. One of
these cases was brought here from
Missouri, the second from northern
Wisconsin, while the last case is re-
ported from Kenosha.
DR.. Gustave Windesheim, directorlof
health, has issued a warning for all
those who have not been vaccinated
within the last year to report the
fact to the health department. The
new state law which permits bread
winners in homes affected with small
pox, who have been vaccinated, to con-
tinue with their business, makes this
vaccination additionally important.
Smallpox, the physician says, has
to be watched carefully, lest it get a
foothold in community before its
presence is realized This disease
spreads very rapidly, he added.

Judge Slater today was considering
the possibility of calling in the old
jury once more, as there are num-
Der Of cases still on the old calendar.
Due to the bad roads of February,
the municipal judge did not call in
the jurors at a time when it would
have worked hardships on the county
jurors to get to town, although at
the time the circuit court rooms were
available.
Whether the oldsjury will be called
back again depends on the disposition
of cases in the circuit court and
whether that court will soon adjourn.
