Carthage is Now Dry Carthage has taken a step toward staying the spread of the epidemic that has so far taken an average toll of four deaths a day for two weeks. Monday night the village board met in special session and decided to close all bars, soda fountains and to forbid all social gatherings. No lounging will be allowed in cigar stores or pool rooms until after the disease has gone. Schools and churches have been closed two weeks and this step it is believed will be acceptable and worth while. There are no saloons but hotels have bars in this village. Ring Off and Stay Off To try to get the doctor in a hurry over a party telephone line and find that it has been rented for the afternoon for conversational purposes, is very annoying, to say the least. Exchange of dill pickle recipes and social pleasantries by the hour is not longer looked upon as wholly patriotic and persons who have nothing else to do should take a hoe and get busy in the potato patch. transcribed by Sheila Lofft Strickland
