BRISTOL TRIBUNE
Kicks Out of the Harness and
trieste Act the Bully.
The Bristol Tribune last Saturday

Z The Bristol Tribune last SATURDAY.
e morning publishes the following:
Is The Big Stone Gap Post Of Thurs
:. day, the 9th inst, has the followin,
to say in its editorial columns:
= 1--WE have it from good authority
that the smallpox situation in Bristo
has not improved very much Seven
cases are reported as having broken
ont in the Norfolk and Western yards
at that place few days ago. and yet
the Bristol authorities would have
you believe that the disease is con-
fined to the pesthouses."
There is absolutely no excuse for
( publishing such an unmitigated false
hood. The Posts good authority"
could have been nothing more or less
than rank enemy of Bristol, with
not speck of love in his heart for
the truth So far as known here not
even one case Of smallpox has devel-
oped in the Norfolk and Western
yard at this place. The authorities
say confdentially that if a single case
has broken ont outside of quarantine
during the last three weeks, tlley
have failed to discover it, and they
have been very diligent 1t is now
two weeks since case developed in
quarantine.
1t is a fact, which no one here will !
undertake to deny, that every indica-
ton during the past two weeks has
tended to show that the disease has
run its course in Bristol, and that
when those now convalescing in the
hospitals are released the end will
have been reached.
There is no use trying to couch it
in nice words; it is simply provoking
to have a neighbor do dirty lying on
one, whether the authority for the
falsehood came direct or indirect
through the medium.
Now, Mr.. Tribune, we have more
right to doubt your statements than
the statement of our good
but we are 60 '
ing to leave it to you to clear the t
whole matter up and set the readers
IF the Posi- right if they have been E
in this matter. Have the !
Board Of Health and railroad officials ;
end us statements to the effect that !
10 smallpox have broken out in y
ther the Norfolk and Western or h
southern yards during your epidemic Il
t that disease, and we will take Of
leaSure in publishing them. This re
) fair. p
We have no desire to injure Bristol n,
l any way, and if our information in al
lis matter is incorrect let the proper In
authorities correct it. The people Of IN
