In this place, called o. ~ not long sincc, and
shsr some conversation concerning the various
improvements going on in our town, regretted
the ezoss1ine unheaithines u our location. In
Erxye amusement We requested that nc would \
explain himself which he did, saying that he |
had been told BY several persona when on his !
way up here, that tho condition Of Gonzales
was deplor~ble a. TO health, that Physicians
were constantly employed and physic in great
dcmands : = 'srr-
We arc truly sorry 70 hear Of such unfoun-
ded reports being circulated, for OF course,
strangers having no means of asccrtaining the
truth, wilt rely on them ~ facts, very much
to tho detrlmcnt Of our thriving and beautiful
county. No one would voluntarily bring their
families. no matter what Inducements might
b. offered In the way OF making money, 10 live
whore they would bc constantly IN dread Of
dangerous and fatal attacks Of disease, and
where tho c,joymont Of that incs,imablc bies.
sing, health, would be denied them. We be.
licvc that Gonzales Is at the present time, and
always win be, as healthy on any town in tho
State. During tho pnst summer we have had
some sickness in the county, but il was Of a
very mild character, and Our Physicians inform
ns, yielded readily to medical treatment We
have also had three or four deaths in the co,,n.
~, but this fact should not go TO prove il I'm.
healthy; for wc have yet TO hear of a country
under the broad canopy Of Heaven, where the
inhabitants mover die. II is too of,cn the
case Tint reports OF this character arc circula.
ted TO the prejudice OF ncighboring towns, and
those persons who take such mn active part in
the matter, little think that by SO doing, they
arc furnishing their own reputation. Persons
travelling through the country in scarcl, OF loca.
tons, soon find that they were misnformcd,
TINT tho health Of the different towns had been
misrcprcscntcd by these sclfconstitn,cd bullc-
tins; and should tho deceived pcrchancc again
meet with his informcr he would treat him,
and Justly too, with supreme contempt. He
could no longer place confidence in what he
said; lie would shun him as he would the poi.

Wo make this plain statement Of facts in JUS
ticc to our town and county, and for the espc-
cial benefit Of those persons who are so active
