An epidemic of suicides seer

An epidemic of suicides seems
to be prevailing in Henry county,
Tenn. Last week there were four
cases of self-destruction, three
men and one girl, The suicide Of
the young woman, Miss Cole, was
particular pathetic. She had been
engaged for sometime, the marri-
age being postponed several times
by the prospective bridegroom,
and finally declared. off altogether
On her death bed the young girl
stated that she had taken her own
life because of the cruel treat
ment at the hands of her father.
After she had taken the poison
GUS drug, and was at the point of
death, her father, who was absent
from home at work, was sent for
He at once came to the house, and
it is stated, beat the girl unmerci-
full. The names of the men and
causes which led to the desperate
act are not ascertained.

SMALLPOX.

The health authorities in Maury
and Giles counties have been &C.
tive during the past week to
stamp out the disease in that Sec
ton, which is now the main point
of infection in the State. All
these cases are held to be attribut-
able to the one which originated
in the phosphate mines nearMount
Pleasant. AS soon as the case
was discovered, the negroes who
had been working with the dis.
eased man scattered from fear
that they would be arrested and
placed In the pest house. 1t was
only q mild case, and the negro
who had the disease recovered
before the authorities were aware
of its existence.
Soon after this case, the disease
broke out IN Columbia, where two
cases now exist. The authorities
report that they have the matter
well in hand, and will be able to
check the spread of the disease.
The citizens of Pulaski are con.
siderably exercised over smallpox
at that point. Six cases have
been reported from there so far,
which are also attributable to the
Mt. Pleasant case. DR.. Albright
made o thorough investigation of
the situation, and thinks that by
the enforcement of the regulations
of the health department an cpl
demic can be prevented. The
main points Of the health depart
ment rules are revaccination, iso.
lation and disinfection.
In speaking of the matter re-
Gently DR.. Albright said that the
greatest trouble experienced in
controlling the disease was due to
it's extreme mild character, the
consequent delay occasioned in
securing prompt diagnosis, and
the Inauguration of the necessary
precautionary methods. While
the disease has not assumed vio-
lent form, it is just as highly con.
tagious as the most virulent case,
and should be guarded against
accordingly.
One death has been reported
from Lake county at landing
about thirteen miles from Upton
vile. The patient was put off of
one of the Mississippi boats.
