OF last week conlalns an nrIicle, in the ed.
iorial column, which states that there have
been ten cases Of cholera, (six of which
proved falar in this neighborhood. Whether
the article was original, or whether it was
clipped from some exchange paper and the
proper credit neglected, we cannot say. The
latter supposiIion would be the most charita.
BILE; for ii the editor of Ahe Fountain wrote
the article himself, and intended 10 convey
The idea, that the cholera has prevailed 10
such an alarming extent here, he is gully
Of deliberate ialsehood. There have not,
so far as we are able to learn, been ten cases
of Asa'ic cholera in Meigs county for the
past eighteen months; nor have there been
three wel.defned cases Of cholera in Pome.
roy for that length Of time.
Several Germans, who have just arrived
from the old country have died here from
some disease resembling ship fever, which
is no more like the cholera than the small
pox oryelow fever. There have been few
cases OF dysen,ery or fux, and probably
some diafrhea, as is the case everywhere
during this excessively hot weather. But,
as q general hing, we think Inc town has
been remarkably healthy this summer
much more SO than usual. The cholera is
no. prevailing here, TO our knowledge, al all
and we have taken pains 10 make some in
quiry on the subject.
| We have been induced TO make these re
marks because Of the influence such imprope
and inconsidera,e statements as those con
, taned in The article above referred TO will
have upon the trade Of Pomeroy, and ais
upon the health of the county. Harvesting
is scarcely over in the country, and every
) body knows that during the harvesting sea
] son, farmers cannot send their products t
e Town. Consequently the town is now des
. litute Of almost every article Of county pre-
e duce. 1t is difficult for people living i
g Town 10 purchase enough Of the necessarie
e of life 10 keep them in good health. Harve
e being nearly over now, farmers could brin
n in their products, and thus relieve US Of OF
h suferiDgs, 1t is cruel, therefore, 10 circl
!, ate false report of cholera, and thus pr
e vent The necessary supplies from coming il
II Again: Our experience has taught US tn
y nothing is so certain 10 increase the numb
y Of deaths in cholera season as fear. I'll
10 influence Of fear upon the physical conslit
ton renders an individual much more lab
n 10 cholera, and few persons who are consi
lie erablY frightened when attacked everrecove
This, we think is one Of the reasons wi
cholera proves SO much more fatalat certa
10 times and places.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS SMITH & Nixon

era years. and have watched its progress.
They commenced, we believe, with retail
grocery, on the corner Of Eighth & Walnut
streets, Cincinnati, in 1916. From The siari,
they have been liberal advertisers
more SO in Cincinnati. The consequence
was ,hantheir first store soon became Toe
small for them. They sold out, and erected
building one square below, where they
kept a Tea Store and Piano Warehouse
The next we heard Of ,hem, they wer,
building Concert IIall-one Of the most mag
niicent structures for the purpose designed
in The United States. Thi,her they removed
their Pianos. When we were last in Cincin
natl. they were Ieuring down Concert Hall fol
the purpose Of enlOrging the building. Few
men have met with, or deserved grealo
success IN any business, anu me llDefallty
with which they continue 10 advertise is con
vincing proof thai they we'll understand The
secre, Of their prosperity.
We recommend them 10 The patronage o
our readers, however, moi solely because
they advertise; bu. because we know then
10 be honorable business men, and as gooi
