Salisbury, Feb. 6—H.B. Smith of Yadkin, a small town five miles from Salisbury on the river by that name, disappeared from his home last Monday and has not been heard of or seen since, according to Deputy Sheriff L.T. Yarborough, who last saw the missing man.
According to Mr. Yarborough, Smith is a World War veteran with an excellent record but was severely gassed during the war and has suffered since on various occasions from his injuries.
His friends believe his disappearance is the result of his affliction. Mr. Smith is married and has four children, the youngest being only six weeks old. Mrs. Smith is suffering greatly from anxiety concerning her husband.
Mr. Yarborough saw Smith last Monday as he was coming out of the county court house in Salisbury after paying his taxes. He was dressed in a dark suit with tan shoes and a light grey hat. He is described as being about 30 years of age, six feet in height and a decided blonde.
