We saw several small coveys of
quail in cages here today, brought
in and offered for sale by farmers
who trapped them. Eight cents
apiece was the price asked. The
fish market was also well stocked
with buffalo and white perch 1t
seems strange to us that so many
white perch can be taken by hook
and line, where this reporter has
fshed many an hour for the same
kind of fish and never got a nibble.

Saws 1t is Chicken Pox.

We met a gentleman today from
Index and he said the cases down
there reported to be small pox, is
nothing more than chicken pox.
He said the diseas breaks out on
the head and neck and has never
been known to attack the body or
limbs, and that the men who are
thus afflicted do not stop their work
on account of the eruptive sores.
1t seems to us that some one is at
fault in not investigating these cas-
es and see what can be done,
Should chicken pox break out here
and get in to our schools, it
would close them down for some
time which should not be allowed.
