WARNING TO CITIZENS.
The City is Infected With the Poisonous
BeIladOnna Weed, or Deadly
Nightsllade.

Unless the greatest care is exercised
by the people of DEBORAH, there is
grave danger of wholesale poisoning,
especially of the children, from the
poisonous belladonna weed, or deadly
nightshade, as it is otherwise called
1t appears that the seeds or roots of
this plant have been scattered over
that part of the city covered by the
recent flood, and the plant may now
be found growing in yards, streets
and alleys wherever weeds of any ma
ture are allowed to exist. The plant
is well known poisonous one, and
grows somewhat in the form of a
small bush, upon which form small
berries, which finally turn black, and
are deadly poison. Already it is be-
lieved that children have been made
sick from eating the leaves of the
plant, and if it is allowed to mature
and the berries ripen, the danger is
much greater. 1t therefore behooves
everyone to thoroughly examine their
yards, alleys, etc. and destroy all evil
dences of this plant before it goes to
seed, or next year it will be still more
numerous.
