ouarantined Against Fort Smith.
On Thursday the announcement came
to Van Buren that six new cases of
small pox had developed among the
negro population of Fort Smith and that
without doubt this number would be
largely increased Friday.
The situation was so alarming that
the board of health was called to meet
at the mayors office at 6 PM. that
evening and it was, after a thorough dis
cussion of the situation, decided to ex
tend the quarantine, which has been
heretofore only enforced against the
negroes coming from that town, to in
clude everyone until all danger is passed.
Every incoming train is to be closely
watched, sufficient force of guards to
be employed to make every train, to
guard every bridge by which any one
might cross the river. This is to be
rigidly enforced, and due notice has
been served upon the travelling public
in order to cause them as little incon-
venience as possible.
1t behooves everyone interested in the
welfare of Van Buren to see that every
necessary condition of sanitation be OBJ
served and not to harbor anyone who
may have come into contact with, or in
any way exposed to the disease.

Clinton. March 21-The appointment
of Leonard Fl. Parker to be keeper of
the almshouse was a surprise to a
great many here, both democrats and
republicans. who thought that Mr.. Par
ker was not pulling wires enough to
land. This was perhaps true. But
Mr.. Parker never could have pulled
wires enough, if wirepulling had been
the requisite. He was appointed be-
cause of his experience, and because
his appointment saves the town quite
sum of money.
Whenever he has been keeper of the
almshouse, he has also had charge of
Woodlawn cemetery. He has per-
formed the duties of both positions for
the same remuneration. But whenever
there has been q change in the office,
the keeper Of the almshouse has not
felt like doing the extra work, and it
has been necessary to pay MIR. Parker
or some one else to do it.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Parker does
do it. He knows the cemetery and it's
needs so well that the cemetery com
mittee have never felt much like letting
any other person take care of the GEM
etery.
