NO SMALL Pox
Hardwick Practically Clear Of
the Disease
NOT A DEATH
Has Occurred and Only One
Serious Case.
Especial to TELEGRAM

Hardwick, VT, August %, 19O0.-
The signed statement of DR.. Darl.
ing as health officer, in last weeks
Gazette was, and is true at this date,
and there is no danger of any one
coming to this village to transact any
business or to attend any meeting
whether religious or political.
The fears Of the voters in some
section of the town against coming to
Freemans Meeting are not well
grounded. At meeting of the
board af civil authority the 22nd it
was decided that the board had a
right to designate another polling
place in the town of Hardwick but
the board at that time voted not to
designate another polling place.
At an adjourned meeting of the
board on Saturday the 25th petition
signed by nearly fifty voters, they
asked for polling place at the vii
lage hall in East Hardwick and it is
voted so to do and a polling place
will be established there for the
coming September election.
There have been no new cases for
ten days and the quarantine will
soon be off on every house in the viii
lage and nearly all the cases at the
hospital will be discharged within a
week. The action of the board is be-
ing criticised by quite a number OF
people, some on account of the posi-
BILE effect on business, but mostly on
personal or political reasons. If all
the people here had taken as much
pains to stamp out the disease and to
stop circulating all manner of false
reports, the damage to the business
interests of the town would not have
occurred.
1t has seemed as il a false rumor
has gone faster and further than a
true one. There has only been at the
most, at any one time, 13 Cases at the
hospital and none of them sick so but
they could be out doors and only one
severe case in the whole. If the
State Board of Health had let Dr..
Darling alone there would not have
been over five cases in the whole from
the original exposure.
