AUDITING ACCOUNTS. Commissioners Also Visit Brown’s Bridge.—Are Doing a Good Work. The Board of County Commissioners was in session Monday and part of Tuesday. The principal work done was that of auditing the accounts of last court. Mr. J. R. Whaley, the new commissioner from Tad more dis trict, was sworn in. He is a good man and no doubt will make a good com missioner. Wednesdey morning the commission ers yisited the pauper farm, where they are having a new house erected for the superintendent on the land recently purchased. The su) erindcnt’s old house will be used for children from different parts of the county who are sent the commissioners to be cared for. In the afternoon of Wednesday, the commissioners visited Brown’s bridge where they met the ordinary of For syth county. They inspected the bridge and will probably decide to buy ^it at their next meeting*, the ordinary of Forsyth county agreeing on the price—$1,500. The commissioners ap pointed an expert to inspect ihe bridge and submit his report to them in order that they might get at a move correct value of the property. The punehase of Brown’s bridge and the erection of one at Keith’s ferry is a very progressive move on the part of the commissioners and will meet with the approval of the people of the county. The commissioners are doing a good work in the way of having the public highways improved and in bettering the bridges over the different streams. The people of the county should heartily co-operate with them in this work. EXERCISES POSTPONED. Washington-Lee Celebration De ferred to April 26th. The celebration of the Washington- Lee ceremonies at the auditorium has been postponed from Monday, Febru ary 21, to April 26, Decoration day. This was decided upon yesterday bv the Daughters of the Confederacy, Con federate Veterans, and Sons of Vete rans. The public will tak£ notice of the change of date and get in position to attend the exercises April 26th. The reason for changing the date was be cause court would be in ‘session Mon day, and there will be entertainments at the auditorium tonight and Monday night, therefore the attendance at the exercises would necessarily be small, and this was not desired. !

This does not necessarily mean the contraction of disease provided the system is in a vigorous condition, with the blood pure and all the organs in healthy action. When in such a con dition contagion is readily resisted and the disease germs can find no room for lodgment. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best medicine to build up the system because it makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood is the basis of good health In cold weather it is especially neces sary to keep up the health tone because the body is subject to greater exposure and more liable to disease.
