Broken vows and old hoops

VyTHEyILLE'S EPIDEMIC.
Much sickness From the Measles and Low
Fevers.

WYTHEVILLE, VA, oct. &--Special.-
Wytheville during the past few weeks has
been stricken with epidemics Of measles
and fever. More sickness exists here than
was ever known before. 1t is estimated
that over two hundred cases of measles
and fully one hundred cases Of fever are
extant.
The measles, like the sora, appeared
from "God knows where" The source OF
the fever, which is not typical typhoid,
but of kind known as slow fever. is
also unknown, but is thought by some
physicians to have its origin in the dust
which was very bad here during the re-
cent drought; others are Of the opinion
that It comes from the uncleanness of the
water with which the town has been
supplied for some months.
The towns watcr-pipe system has been
recently undergoing extensive repairs, and
other water from that formerly In use
has been substituted.
The reservoir too is reported to be in
a very filthy condition.
The matter will come before the Town
Council at its next meeting, when mea-
sures will be taken for the preservation
of the public health.
Among the most serious cases yet re-
ported are those OF MIR. Greg. Ewald, who
has been lying at the point of death for
some weeks and Miss Addie X. Moore,
who is also pronounced dangerously i'll.
