entirely free of smallpox and has
been since March 8, when what is
supposed to have been a case was
moved mile and a quarter out Of
town. There has been no good
reason for scare, and certainly no
cause for other towns quarantining
against Kennett.
Here is fish story that is true:
Last Friday, five miles east of
Kennett on the new railroad, W. A.
Branch killed with an ak ffty-one
buffalo fish, the smallest one weigh
ing eight pounds. They lad come
out of New river and were headed
north through a shallow channel
that was cut up by the railroad
grade, and they becoming entangled
in the brush and flag their capture
was an easy matter. They showed
no disposition to return down
stream, but insisted on going up.
Several other persons killed all the
fish they wanted at the same place.
