ASHLAND'S SCARE.

Brown Speaks on the Health of Town.

Ashland is undergoing considerable
scare on account of diphtheria. A TINES re-
porter who carefully inquired into the matter
finds that the facts as heretofore stated in the
TINES correspondence and local reports are
correct in every essential particular. The
Board Of Health of Richmond with
diseases not only make no suppress
sion OF this disease in our city but they
placard every house where it exists on the
ground that it will stimulate precautions
against Its further spread
The newspapers have given full publicity
to tbereports OF the disease without sensational
accounts and have done the same with Ash
Land. Although there have been only few
cases IL that town. there has been an exodus
CT nearly all the large number of visitors who
we're suipDering there as well as some OF the
citizens The feeling that existed was
that the summer season was
nearly over and that abundant prscaution
was better than even fancied risk, the visitors
With almost one accord returned 10 their va
rious homes, and perhaps the movement of
others also caused some OF the uneasiness Of
those remaining Every precaution has been
taken &c prevent its spread. and general
cleaning and disiniect.ng of promises has
been theoretically prosecuted
Only four or five cases have occurred in
Ashland and immediate vicinity, and no new
cases have been reported for several days IL
Is thought also that the first case was caused
by the return of an attack upon a child con-
valescng from the disease contracted in
Richmond and that it was again brought
about By playing about an old we'll

this theory was Il correct one and carried out
