A PETITION very numerously sign
ed has been presented to the County
Court asking that the road past the
Experiment Station be repaired to
at least such an extent as to not be
dangerous to man and beast when

arranged to have been given last

gantown for few weeks past and
some fear had existed that it might
rage as an epidemic, but we are glad
to report that there are only few
cases in town at present and they
are not so virulent as to excite
alarm. Those children who are now
suffering with it are all reported tt
