An article on "The Spread of
Diphtheria, may be found on the
opposite page and it will pay a peru
sal. The cases of the dread disease
which have occurred in this vicinity
can nearly all be traced TO contagious
exposures, and it behooves all our
people to see that they do not ex-
pose themselves, or expose others by
coming in contact with them while
they are afflicted with sore
throats. Humanity demands that
the sick be cared for and the dead
be buried, but the greatest care
should be exercised in all directions
so long as any trace of the disease is
left. AS inquiries are being made,
we will state that we know of no case
of diphtheria in this village or vicin-
ity, at this time.
The democrats had very pleasant
meeting at the Crystal Lake House
on Tuesday evening, where them
selves, numerous democratic friends
from Glover, many republican guests
and others sat down to repast such
as it would be difficult to get in a
city hotel; really it was one of the
very best suppers we ever sat down
to. Mr.. Leith is to be congratulated
on the table he spreads, and especial
ly on his democratic suppers. G. s..
Parker, Mr.. Phillips and others from
Glover entertained the company with
patriotic songs and music, while there
were several speeches, eulogiums and
pleasant talks by the members of the
democratic, republican, St. John and
Independent sides of the political
question. 1t was really a very en-
joyable meeting for all who were
present, and promotive of good feel
ing all around.
We are panied again to record the
death of neighbor and friends: Mrs.
Lewis Young died on Wednesday
from the effects of an liberated stom-
ach, after an illness of brief duration.
She was an intelligent, amiable lady,
who had friends wherever she had ac-
quaintances. She leaves husband,
three sons and other friends to mourn
her loss. She was the mother of DR..
Young of Bloomington. The next
day little French child died in the
Dwinell tenement. On Thursday
also, Daniel Virgins, who lived on
Burton Hill, Irasburgh, but who was
from business relations, almost a cit
izen of this village, died of dropsy
and rheumatic troubles. He had been
afflicted with rheumatism for many
years and had suffered terribly from
the disease. He was genial man
and kind neighbor. He leaves a
wife and two small children. Friday
night Mrs. E. B. Robinson died of
diphtheria after few days of most
distressing illness. She is supposed
to have contracted the disease while
assisting in taking care of diphthe-
ria patient. The disease took
the Group form and was soon beyond
the physicians power. This is very
sad case. Mrs. Robinson was young.
amiable and beloved by all, and will
be missed by large circle of friends.
During the days of her extreme
suffering she bore her pains with
great resignation and patience, and
although DESTROYS of living, she was
willing to go. Her parting words to
relatives and friends will never be
forgotten. Her funeral services were
held yesterday, Rev. Moody, assisted
by Rev. Brigham, officiating.
