Randolph. in this county. DR.. Donald
McPhail was sent for to sec the patient,
a negro, who came from Newport News
to this county, and as soon as he looked
at him he diagnosed the case as small
pox. DR.. McPhail at once wrote to the
Board OF Health Office at Richmond, re-
questng that an expert be sent to examine
the case, and II is reported that the
Richmond physician agreed with DR.. Nc
Phail that the negro man has smallpox
A strict quarantine has been established
around the infected place, and every pre-
caution will be used to prevent the spread
OF the dread disease.
IT is said the negro has been sick for
some time, and 1t is feared other negroes
who have seen him may spread smallpox
in other sections. There is considerable
excitement in the community over the
matter. The Board of Supervisors will
meet TO take measures TO prevent the
spread Of the disease. 1t is supposed a
pest-house will be established at once.
1t is reported that a smallpox suspect
passed through Keysville a few days ago,
on the train. Naturally our people are
greatly exercised over these matters, but
it is hoped there will be no other cases
in the county.
A remarkable circumstance has beer
reported TO me. During a recent freshei
eighteen turkeys belonging to Mrs. Johr
X. Morton were drowned. The turkeys
could not be found, and after several day:
Of searching they were discovered hud
died together dead in the low-grounds
IL is supposed they became bedraggled b.
the hard rain, and becoming surrounded
by water, they could not fly.
