and L. D. Smith who were elected
four years ago. They mude many
pledges, the main promise and the one
that really caught the people eye,
was the paving. This promise ha?
been fulfilled, this dream and vision
has beeti realized. In the four years
many blocks of Milledgcville has
been beautifully paved and the con
struction gangs are still busy with
many more zones yet to be complet
ed.

will be remembered as the paving

The paving has been expensive and
placed hardships in many quarters
but there is not one citizen that would
permit this work to lie torn up and
our streets carried back to the old

gressive, forward moving step thut
Milledgcville has ever taken. The
advertising has been bountiful and

alert, active and doing things.

Gentlemen, wa.ch well thy step in

be freighted with the wisdom of

One should always sleep with open
windows and avoid contact with those
who aro ill. The secretions from th*
cose and throat are the means of
spread. Every precaution should b*
taken by those with colds and pneu
monia to prevent their spread. It
seems almost unnecessary to mention
that all drinking vessels should bo In

and all china that has been used by a
patient suffering with a contagious
disease should be sterilized by boil

on. hut if one doesn't know it there is
no worry. Besides, It furnishes a fine
alibi If one's cur Is in a collision. Just
point to the blue disk und tell the
