LORg Time.

LOhg Time.
There has been persistent report in
circulation the past day or two that
death had occurred in the city from
meningitis and that another case of the
disease had developed.
The News is in a position to state
that there is no truth whatever IN the
rumors.
Lettie Burch, the negro woman who
Is said to have died with the disease had
been in bad health for months, and had
not left her house for several weeks
prior to her death last Friday.
The report that Henry Buffers wife
has meningitis is denied by DR.. Con.

been sick since last Friday, suffering
with nervous trouble, and has had
no symptoms of meningitis.
