Small. pox IN Sassafras.


As will be seen below, the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners had the matter of the /
smallpox now raging at Freeman's Mills, !
in Sassafras Neck. under consideration, on |
Wednesday. aud made certain provisions !
for those suffering from it. The disease in
its most virulent form was sGntractel in !
Baltimore by son OF Mr.. Anthony u. the
mills. He was taken down shortly after
coming home and died. Since then the
father and brother Of the first named have
died and four more OF the family are down
with the disease. The present sufferers ara
doing as well az possible. The great iron.
Bile is to secure nurses for the sick and help
to bury the dead The colored people of
the section are in state of terror in conse-
qnence Of the disease being in the neghbor-
hood, and none, even thosE who have had
the plague, can be induced to 20 near the
infected premises. There is little or no fear
of it spreading. The house has been com
pletely isolated The mother of the family,
who has had the disease, stays at the house,
and the son-rhe only one of them not af-
f-cted-stays at the mill, and receives food,
etc; brought by the neighbors and carries
it TO the house. No one beside the norher
and the hysician enters the dismal prem
ises. The situation of Mrs. Ami hony is IA
sad one, alone in the house with four of the
family i'll with This dread disease, three
others having already died. She has tn.
sympathy Of the entire community.
The County Commissioners, at their meet
ing, on Wednesday, passed an order au-
thorizing DR.. Hardrastl- to procure another
