NO MORE small, PIX

Another week has passed by and WI
are again permitted to discharge tllt
pleasant duty of informing the readers
Of the CHIEF that our town is free from
small pox. To those who may incline te
doubt the sincerity of this assurance
any such there be-we desire to say that
| we DETERMINED from the moment tl1t
first case of the disease was reported
here, to publish the exact truth with ref
erencc to its origin and progress, ire,
sp' ctive Of individual opinions as to the
possible effect such publication might
have upon this or that interest. 1t. was
and is orr decided conviction that in
such emergencies it is much better to
make known the real facts than to seek
TO palliate or suppress them. The former
course inspires confidence and prevents
scnselcss panic the latter begets sl,s-
piclon and distrust, and leads to the cir
cu!ation of Il thousand and one exagger-
ated rumors that do infinitely more harm
than the widest dissemination of the
true circumstances could possibly accom-
plisl.
In accordance with this idea, we
promptly notified the public Of the facts
that two colored children brought here
from an infected house in New Orleans
had been attacked by small pox, and
that two or three en,snffering from the
same disease had passed through the
town. Aud it is not without having first
made careful inquiry to assure ourselves
Of the reliability Of the information, that
we now announce the Disappearance of
the malady from our community.
AS we stated last week, one of tho chill.
drcn referred to died and the other re-
covered. A report was circulated that
the second child had also died, but this;
was incorrect. This patient had mild
attack Of tie disease, 'regained its health
and has since been taken away from
Donaldsonvillo by the woman who
brought the children from the city.
The sanitary condition of Donaldson
vile IS good ; we have two visiant and
conscientious Health NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Of the highest Standing duty it
is to take all necessary precautions
against the introduction and spread of
small pox, and to display u yellow flag
at every house where the disease may
be developed; our Town Council has or
gallzed as u Board of Health, provided
for the general vaccination of the people,
adopted II stringent ordinance prohiJ-
ting the bringing of small pox patients
INTO the town, and requiring every house
holder to report any appearance of the
disease on his premises and there isn'ta
yellow flag to be seen in the town.
In time of peace We have prepared for
war, but peace still rcisns Every day
lessons the probability of any danger to
be unprecedented here from small box.
