The Kentucky State Board of Health
has telegraphed to Hickman relative to
establishing quarantine station. on the
river, below town. The citizens, cartain-
~, will give the state authorities every

landing Of any boat, passengers, baggage
or freights on our shore, gives more GER
tain protection than the system of quar-
antiue inspection. Infected persons or
baggage might elude quarantine inspec-
ton. Il IS the interest of trade and bu-
mess that the quarantine be establish
ed, SO that boats can land at our wharf
and passengers go aud come, if it gives
equal projections but large majority Of
our people want every safeguard used
which the best intelligence advises.
