MIR. Mcknight claims that injus-
tice was done him in our last issue.
He says that he is not the oveiseer
of the road from the Darro to Chol-
era branch; that the notice he re-
ceived was to work from Colfax to
the Darro. He claims that he was
not compelled to work the road at
all, being q resident OF an incorpora-
ted town. He further Gays that the
road is in as good condition as it
could be put, considering the dry
weather, and he intends to give it
another working Immediately. He
has repaired the bridge over Sugar
House bayou, which was in dilapi-
dated condition. This, he says, il
the business of the police jury, moi
of the overseer or the road hands
He has proposed to repair all three
of the bridges if the police jury viii
furnish the lumber. This they hay'
refused to do, and he does not con
slider that he is the one to blame.
Judge Machen certainly made
mistake in serving the notice on Mi
Mcknight to work only to the Dal
70, as the overseer on that road hs
always worked to Cholera branch
This error should be corrected at a
early date, as the section Of road j
controversy needs working badly.

With not stick of wood in our yards
for nearly a week, and with the consoling
information that the company are unable
to fill orders owing to there being no wood
at their supply stations, we have a decid
eddy cheerful prospect before us, especially
when the possibility of a period of stormy
weather and an inevitable blockade also
stares us in the face. At present there is a
limited supply Of sawed wood in the COM
pany's yard and this is being sold to meet
present demands, but unless there is an
immediate supply from some source we
arc exposed to all the terrors of 'fuel
famine" with all the words imply. Anoth-
err serious aspect of the case is the fact
that owing to a strike among the COM
pany's boiler makers, the engines are in
poor shape for The severe work of bucking
snow. Should occasion demand this SER
vice it would be slow work to raise n
blockade, consequently all we can do is
hoard the small stocks of fuel and put our
trust in Providence for q continuance of
favorable weather.

In view of the uneasiness felt over the
gradual spread of that greatly dreaded and
most loathsome of diseases smallpox, q
few extracts from an editorial in mcdi.
cal journal, the Northwestern Lancet. may
prove of value at this time. The writer,
DR.. Leasure, says: eff there is any one
thing that is thoroughly demonstrated by
experience it is that in vaccination we
have a thorough protection against small
pox;; provided that the vaccination is
thorough. True, there may be here and
there case in which vaccination fails to
protect from mild form of varioloid, af-
ter the victim has had true variola. We
have no longer any excuse for relying on
Jcnnerian virus, for the numerous vaccine
farms at present in active operation yield
an abundance of true bovine virus at prices
so moderate as to leave nothing to be de-
sired. and the fears so often entertained of
transmitting blood poisons from impure
persons to the subjects of vaccination need
no longer exist. A single vaccination may
not protect in all cases, and hence the he.
cessity of frequent revaccination till the
system will no longer respond to the &C.
ton of the virus, proving that the protec-
ton is complete" The article then goes
on to show that owing to imperfect vacci-
nation the system is frequently only par
TALLY protected, and urges that it is neces-
sary in order to make assurance dOubly
sure, that first vaccination, even if it
"takes," be followed by others until the
blood no longer recognizes the presence of
the poison. If the virus does not take
on subsequent vaccination, it shows that
the system is fully protected.
In relation to vaccination after person
has been exposed to the infection of small
pox, the writer says: ut seems to be
pretty well settled that to he effective in
protecting the party exposed, it must be
done within five, or, at most, six days af-
ter the exposure. The incubative stage Of
small poxis twelve days after the exposure
and all vaccinations performed after thu
middle period of incubation fail TO protect
or even change the disease to varioloid
1t is we'll to have in mind, that, in all case!
of vaccination after exposure to infection
none but humanized virus should be used
if it can be obtained, because its period O.
incubation is shorter, and it natures three
days sooner than bovine virus.

The attention of the citizens of Morris is
called to the great need of providing some
suitable place for the care of the sick and
injured, more especially those strangers
who are afflicted while among US, and who
are anxious and willing to pay for the COM
petent care and attention they would re-
ceive from experienced nurses in the wards
of hospital. Of course to establish or
maintain an institution on any large scale
would be an impossibilty and it would be
nonsense to advocate anything of tie kind.
We do not advocate anything of this sort
at ALL but wonlG propose that suitable
room or two be hired and furnished and
made serve the purpose until such time rs
we are in position to establish perma
nent institution of this kind. Strangers or
| those among us who have no friends in this
place. if sick or injured cannot and do not
receive the proper care in hotel or public
boarding house. 1t frequently occurs that
they are too i'll to be moved long distance
to their homes and are consequently forced
to undergo a serious and perhaps tedious
illness, and suffer untold miseries from
lack of proper nursing and attendance for
which they are abundantly able to pay.
An institution of the kind we suggest
could, with the proper effort, be established
here. 1t would have to be equipped and
partly maintained by our people, but they
are always ready and willing to make a
generous response to any appeal OF this
nature, and if undertaken on small scale,
a hospital such as we suggest could be
maintained alta comparatively trif1ing cost.
Here is a good work for the philantllrophic
ladies Of our town to engage III. The la
dies of the Womens Christian Temperance
Union have moved in the matter of pro-
viding public reading room and library,
can they rot also take this suggestion into
consideration and at least make an effortin
this direction, with the view Of ascertain
ing what can be DONE The village and

county authorities should be willing to as.
sist in this matter, rs they are frequently
put to heavy expense to care for their
charges, whereas were they to be properly
cared for at a comparatively small per
cent. of the present average cost, it would
be money saved for the officials to invest n
small amount of the public funds in an en-
terprise of this description.
