Small Pox.
Our interest in McGregor as . city, devo.
ton to which has been proved by labor
Of nearly 8 years, prevents us from noticing
the meanness Of few individuals in dis.
cussing the motives Of our last weeks issue.
Our home is here. A ten line article in the
last TINES by an outside man, excited anger
and malice. We care for neither. II
advertisers have any stock in this paper
they will please take it out. We want to
own it alone. 1t is paid for, and asks no
iavors except on the score Of mutuality.- -
The statement to-day that there are only
too cases Of small pox in town, is incorrect
Mayor Lef6ngwell asks US to leave his
name from that roll others are reported
to US as not indorsing the mercantile pro
test. Doc. Lowe says he has too cases Of
small pox and Of varioloid. Doc. Souircs
has one case Of small pox and at least tuo
of varioloid. We did not seek quarrel
with the goods sellers, nor did We with
Buchanan in the Post Office matter here in
1860, but it may as well be known that the
veracity Of the editors Of this paper is no,
in the market at any price. Our WORLD,
financially and socially, is McGREGoR, but
we are not its slave.

To the Public.

. NAAC uUA1Cs
WHEREAS, Reports are spreading through
the country Of the existence of infectious
disease here, we are pleased to announce
that it has almost entirely vanished, and
never has been an epidemic, as it never was
in any business part of the town. ANY
report or insertion contradictory to this
report, you may put down as false. But
We would say to the country people who
depend upon this market for the sale of
their produce and purchase of supplies,
that there are but two cases of small pox
here and those are convalescent.
In making this statement we do but
simple justice to ourselves and our friends
in the country to warn them from those
who would take advantage of those reports
and make capital out Of the same, to pur.
chase their produce 25 per cent less than
value. We invite all to come to McGreeor
and see for themselves how far such reports
are true or false.

Are they Guer rillas

The Stockton Independent Of Wednesday
says:
A band of between fifty and sixty men are
encamped near the lower ferry on the San
Joaquin river. They claim to be residents
hunting deer and antelope for the San
Francisco market, and expect an addition
of some forty more men to their ranks
They are well mounted, well armed and
we'll dressed, and are not at all communica-
tive. Our impression is that they are either
a guerrilla iparty or the nucleus Of one,
organized to resist Federal draft in
this State, should one be ordered
They will bear watching, at all events.
A gentleman named Reynolds, residing
about three miles west of French Camp,
informs US that they have been in the
neighborhood Of their present haunt for the
last week, and thut his nephew asked them
what their business was. They answer
ed that they were about organizing hunting
party to explore and hunt all through the
mountains till they reached the vicinity Of
Visaia; and that they killed all the deer
and antelope they wanted for their own actual
consumption. Now there never was bigger
lie told since the birthday Of Satan; for
there have been no deer or antelope on the
plains within twenty miles Of French Camp
since the food of 1872, Moreover, who
ever heard of as large party as sixty men,
with the promise Of forty more, going out to
hunt elk or antelope: And it may not be
out of place to remark that the rumor Of the
notorious Quantrell being in California has
some foundation. Nothing has been heard
Of this villainous northern-born secessionist
since last April, when he was reported killed,
but the report never was confirmed, and it is
quite possible that he may have stolen across
the plains to find new field for crime"
