A RIPPLE of excitement was occasion
ed in town the fore part of last week. by
the report that n. K. Kennon, ESQ.,, was
down with smallpox, and of course
some over-officious person had it report
ed in the Wheeling papers right away
as bona tide case. As Mr.. Kennon had
been over to Washington, Pa, where the
disease is prevailing, on business trip
a short time before, it was deemed wise
by the physician that every prscaution
be taken to prevent spread of the dis
ease if by chance he had taken it. His
sickness, though, turned out to be moth
ing more than bad cold, and he is out
again, receiving the congratulations of
his many friends that it was nothing
worse.
