PREVENTION OF SMALL

To the Health Officials, Physicians
ana People OF Kentucky;
Although small pox has been
more than usually prevalent in
many sections Of the Union for
more than a year our State has es.
capped until very recently. About
four weeks ago the disease was
brought from the Roby race course,
near Chicago, to Lexington, by a
negro stable boy and twenty-five
cases occurred there before it was
gotten under control. A negro
tom Lexington carried ii to ASH
land, aud case was reported at
Princeton yesterday. Errors OF
diagnosis with first cases at Lex
ington and Ashland, and the lack
of an available isolation hospital
at the first named place, helped TO
spread the disease and greatly in.
creased both the trouble and OK.

In view OF existing conditions
the Board feels 1t to be its duty to
warn the authorities and people
that decisive action should at once
be taken to guard against this
loathsome malady. Fortunately
the method of prevention is as GER
tam in its action as it is cheap and
easy to obtain. Vaccination and
re-vaccination, properly done, with
reliable virus, is certain proven
tive, and is entirely free from dan
ger. This is the conclusion Of the
scientific world, after full inyesti.

A Woodworking Kentucky farm
er sold crop Of five hogsheads OF
tobacco yesterday at an average
price OF 5000 a hundred pounds,
His best hogshead realized $22.50 a
hundred. Cotton has been so low
during the last six months that it
did not begin to pay the cost OF
raising, but it was a poor crop of
tobacco that did not yield good
profit. In the general depression
of the markets, tobacco and corn
have maintained relatively high
values. Corn has been very high,
but chiefly because Of its scarcity,
while the tobacco crop was large.
The tobacco planters lot has been,
If not happy, at least a contented
