Last Friday afternoon at the court
house in Union City, Tenn., the Board
of Health of Obion County held a meet
ing under instructions from the State
Board of Health to enforce the regula
tions relative to communicable diseases,
and to prepare for an immediate cam

The meeting was held at the office of
Judge Lawson. The County Superin
tendent of Fublic Instruction, C. L.
Ridings, was present and agreed to co
operate with Dr. Blanton, County Physi
cian, and the board in doing all he
could to improve the sanitary conditions
in the county, particularly with reference
to the schools and schoolhouses.
The following orders given in full
have been issued by the State Board of
Health, and the regulations therein con
tained are mandatory. Communicable
diseases are to be reported promptly by
the physicians, also heads of families,
under the law, which imposes a penalty
for failure to comply.
Another order requires the examina
tion of milch cows annually in order to
prevent the spread of tuberculosis, which
has been discovered in cattle and trans
mitted in the milk. A compliance with
this order is also mandatory, with pen
alty for failure to comply.
A copy of the laws is to be forwarded
to every physician in the county. The
orders read as follows:

Escaped From Jail
Two prisoners escaped from jail here
last week and are at large with the latest
reports. William Wilson, charged with
the killing of Vester Wells, is one of
them, and his escape was more easily
effected because the court ordered that
he be 'separated from his companion,
tne ueau man s nroiner, who is also
charged with the crime. Wilson was
therefore not confined in the same man
ner that Wells was. Wilson is about
five feet, four inches high, weighs 115
pounds, 17 years old, sallow complect
ed, thin face, hair clipped close, small
scar on head and wore overall suit when
in jail.
The other man was Charlie Carson,
charged with housebreaking at Gibbs.
He is dark complected, tie feet, two
inches tall, weighs about 110 pounds,
about sixteen years old and also wore
overall suit.

roads, and enhance the value of their
splendid farms.
