In speaking of the action OF the
ARDMoREIrE in publishing a re-
port of the prevalence of scarlet
fever in Ardmore ths Gainesville
Chronicle has the following:
1.-THE ARDMoRITE did exactly
right in publishing the facts OF this
matter and its argument is ineon-
trovertible. When the assistant
state health officer came to Gaines
Vile and stated that some OF our
citizens were afflicted with small
pox The Chronicle promptly laid
that officers statement before It's
readers. AS was the case with the
ARDMoREITE The Chronicle was
asked to say nothing. For the
same reasons given by the ARD
MoREITE this paper did its duty
and as was the case with The Chron'
icle so it will be with the ARDMoRE
TIE. viz, the intelligent and besI
element of that city will endorse
its course and applaud its devotion
to right and duty"
