tain, a rather seedy looking felloW got
in the same coach she was in and took
a seat near her. When the train got
to the depot he got up and remark
ed that he was feeling very badly and
as he had had a chance for smallpox ne
expected he was taking it, and passed
out. She made out her visit of two
weeks or more, arriving home last FIJI
day. On Monday morning DR.. E. w.
Pressly was called in to see her as she
was feeling badly. The doctor found
an eruption of the skin which he could
not exactly understand. Later in the
day he went with DR.. ]. w. Campbell,
and made another examination, but still
could not fully decide. In view OF the
statement she made about the man on
the train, they decided to take some
precautionary steps and accordingly
the house has been quarantined. On
Tuesday the doctors made another ex-
animation but nothing had developed to
warrant a conclusion. The house Is
still under guard. The house Of Robert
Faires and Monroe Shillinglaw, son-in-
law Of Mrs Killian, who has been with
her since her return, Is also under
quarantine. The fact that these steps
were being taken created some excite
ment in town and the doctors have been
very busy vaccinating. The strain has
not been removed, but we are anXiously
awaiting the decision OF the doctors as
to whether or not we have a case OF
smallpox. Just before we go 10 press
DR.. Pressly, who has had charge of
the case, tells us that there are no fur
ther developments and it Is very prob
able that the quarantine will be raised
today (Thursday). We are breathing
easier. DR.. Pressly and the town au-
thorities are to be commended for their
prompt action in this matter. ..Mr.

CHESTER.
Lantern, March 12: Coroner Glad
den went out to the poorhouse yester-
day with DR.. Brice, not officially nor
seeking a home; but just to see place
he had never seen. He was rather
pleased with what he saw. There are
seven white inmates, and we believe
10 is the number Of colored. Not more
than two or three of them are able
to do anything to help the family
along, and they perhaps cannot do
much. They seem to be we'll cared for.
They have all been vaccinated recent
ly; but one of them told DR.. Brice that
she killed his poison. AS soon as he
left she washed it off with soda and
put a chew Of tobacco on it. All last
years cotton crop-21 bales, made on
80 acres-is still on hand. There is
also good supply Of wheat, oats, corn,
peas. hay, and other products, as we'll
as a good drove of hogs. The appear
ance of things generally is such as
may be found on a we'll conducted
farm. "A mad dog passed through
the Armenia neighborhood last Friday,
and bit a number of dogs. 1t has not
been killed vet, so far as we have been
