m We understand that dire
dul reports are circulating through
the country as to the sickness and
death Of children in Fayetteville
from throat disease. The re-
ports are grossly exaggerated
While there have been more cases
of sickness, of the kind referred
to, among the Juvenile population
than usual, yet the whole number,
we are informed, will not amount
to an alarming rate for town the
size Of Fayetteville.
