King telephoned back to Valley Point and
said u was smallpox in light form. DIR.
Nedrow said when he was called here that
he would pay all bills OF smallpox that we
had, but he didn't say what Il was. He is
like the rest Of our doctors, don't know
what TO call IL. lie advised all rhat took

be sure to take them. This disease was

VIM. Metheny aud wife were out hunting
up smallpox Thursday OF last week. but
we haven't been fortunate enough TO learn
IL they were successful or not. only we
know they found them not here--.they were

pox hunters out ? Some childish galoot.
Who pays these hunters ? The old sun.
burnt farmers. Couldn't this money be
put 10 some other use that would benefit
our sunburnt taxpayers ? Yes, I think II
could be. and that is, put or spend IL on
some oil our dilapidated roads and build
them up. and then you smallpox hunters
can travel faster and enjoy your cinch 20
much greater extent although money is
no good It's a malediction to our country.
Us integrity cannot be trusted. IL is oh.

county officers will monopolize all that the
farmers hold In their possession, and stu
reach for more. But our roads do not get
