VIRGINIA New WATER WORKS.
Relative to the proposed and much
needed water works at Virginia for
IRE sxtinguishing purposes. the En-
terprise Of yesterday says: Let all re-
member that on next Saturday to-
morrow the citizens Of this town are
to vote for or against the construction
OF q reservoir and system Of pipes and
hydrants which will amply protect the
CITY against all future fires. That
such works are not required no OBJ
serving person can say. Gold Hill
not only has one reservoir and sys-
tenn of pipes and hydrants of the kind
proposed for this town, but now q a
second reservoir-capable Of holding
200, 900 gallons Of water-and a second
system OF pipes and hydrants almost
ready tor use, and this In addition to o
FIRE engine to attend to outside places.
In this matter Of protection against fire
we are falling behind VI neighbors.
Let all who have property to lose
honestly and squarely face the situa-
tion.

may be looked for In this city ut any
moment, A man who lives beyond
Genoa came into the city Tuesday
night badly broken out with what he
supposed to be measles, or some less
dangerous cutaneous disease, but the
physician upon whom he called pro-
nounces 1t genuine smallpox. Inc
man returned to bis home, but whether
he took all Of the disease with MIN or
not Is questionable. One OF our drug

ply Of fresh vaccine matter, believing
that 1t ought to and would DO In de-
mand."
