The Robbins Family. '
(Contributed)
On April 22nd there was born
to Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Davis, a
son, H. R.,Jr. Mrs. Davis was
formerly Miss Ruth Robbins, a
daughter of Mr. Isaac Robbins,
and a granddaughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Clinton Robbins, of West
Rockingham. - v
Many of our middle-aged citi
zens remember Isaac as a boy
and young man. He left Rock
ingham about 24 years ago and
has spent very , little time here
since then. He had lived in
Alabama for 12 years, prior to
his death which occurred at
Demopolis, Ala, March 15, 1916,
Shortly after his death his widow
and 7 : children returned to his
old home town to live.
Miss Ruth returned to Alabama
and married Mr. Davis, Sept. 30,
1916.
Last year Mrs. Beulah Robbins
(that is Isaac's widow) built a
very nice little home for herself
and family in West Rockingham,
directly in front of the home of
Mr. Clint Robbins, who died later
in fb imit '
Mrs. Clint Robbins still lives
at her old home and celebrated
her 75th birthday-April 30, 1919.
There has been mentioned in the
Post-Dispatch the , ; numerous
granasons sne ,aa in u. s. serv
ice, there being 7 grandsons and
2 step-grandsons, making 9 in
all Some have been honorably
discharged, but now there are 3
in t ranee ana 6 sailing the sea
in U. S. Navy.
The latest grandson to enlist
was James Sam " Robbins, the
oldest son of Isaac. - He enlisted
in Charlotte April 22, 1919, and
is now in training in Naval Sta
tion, Hampton Roads. ' He is a
namesake of the Sam Robbins
who died in eaely manhood sev
eral years ago and who is vell
remembered by many Rocking
ham folks. Grandma Robbins
(as all the neighbors know her)
very proudly claims young H. R.
Davis, Jr., as her 5th great grand
son. bhe says there are not
many who have given so many
grandsons to the service and are
living to see the 4th generation.
The Filthy Fly is Coming
With Typhoid Fever.
With' the appearance of the
beautiful warm spring days, there
comes an increase in the number
of flies carrying filth laden with
the germs of typhoid fever and
of diarrheal diseases of children.
While we love and enjoy the
beautiful spring, we must not
become so charmed with its
beauties that we forget the dan
ger of its contemporary the fly.
The warmth of spring multi
plies disease germs and .hatches
the eggs of flies, which . multiply
very rapidly, and soon one germ
or one fiy makes millions. Flies
select filth for their breeding
places, and often filth in which
the diarrheal and typhoid fever
germs live for instance, human
filth. When the flies are large
enough, they fly "away from their
breeding places, carrying with
them, into the houses, filth laden
with disease germs.- The. filth is
deposited on the bread, in the
milk, or wherever the flies alight.
Flies have filthy , habits. They
alight first on filth, then on your
bread. They ply between the
privy and the home. . Nobody
likes a fly, so help prevent, them
by cleaning up and destroying
their breeding places.
With the approach of spring
and the increased number of
flies, typhoid fever begins, and it
continues to spread until it
reaches its height in the heat o:
August or September. , Then
comes a rapid decrease in the
number of cases, with the cooler
weather and the discrease
flies.
Knowing that the typhoid fever
season is near at hand, and know-.

ing that vaccination prevents the
disease, the only sensible thing,
for those who have not had the
disease and those who have not
been vaccinated in three years,
is to be vaccinated at once.
People have a great deal of
sympathy for those who get sick
and die of diseases which can't
be prevented, but they have very
little sympathy for . those who
die of typhoid fever. People are
beginning to look upon typhoid
as a filty, disgraceful disease,
which is easily prevented; and to
look upon anybody who dies of
typhoid as doing so of his own
accord, for by vaccination the
disease is prevented, and any
body can very easily get vacci
nated. -'"-' -. '"
In this State, the number: of
typhoid cases has been reduced
from 8,390 in 1914 to 5,140 in
1918, and the deaths have been
reduced from 839 in 1914 to 514
in 1918. These cases and deaths
were prevented by vaccination,
sanitary privies, and ' screened
homes.

ous diseases were reported last
