Graveston, it is certainly very erroneous.
There has never been case nearer than
two miles of Graveston. There
have never been much more than
half the number of cases mentioned
in Knox County, during the time the
disease has been raging. As was published
in our issue of Tuesday, the official report
of DIR. L. A. West, the county quarantine
physician, shows that there were only six
cases under treatment. One of them has
died since, leaving only five cases in Knox
County. There are perhaps as many in
Union County, just across the line, also, but
it is thoroughly under control, and fast sue
cumbing, is the report !Dr. West gives.
