vote Of any candidate on the ballot, and
on account Of his excellent record in the

this town with as large a majority as last
year. Mr.. Crane and Mr.. Knowlton
while not largely known here, will doubt

LITTLE CHILD GETS DISEASE.

Northboro, Oct. 15.-Citizens of the
town who have just begun to feel Sc
cure from the ravages of the dreaded
disease diphtheria, which has been pre-
valent here lately, were startled to-
night to hear of a new case. Edna
the sixyear-old child of William Fra
zier, was taken seriously ill tonight,
and DR.. Foster who was called, pro-
nounced it bad case of diphtheria,
and ordered the house and occupants
quarantined and q red flag put out.
The house the Frazier family live in
adjoins the one in which H. H. Yea
ton lives, who had two cases of diph-
iberia, one of which proved fatal. 1t
would seem that there are unhealthy
conditions surrounding the vicinity of
these houses, and indications point to
the drainage, which at the best, is a
poor SYSTEM The Frazier children have
been attending school every day, and
whether other children have been ex-
posed, remains to be seen.
