Smallpox Situation In Seneca.

Seneca, January 20.--In view of the
fact that various rumors are abroad in
regard to the smallpox situation in
Seneca, a plain statement Of the case fol-
lows:
We have only had three cases within
the incorporate limits and ono lust out
side. The first two cases have been dis
charged for three weeks. The other two
are now convalescent. The entire num-
Der have fortunately been located on the
outskirts of the town, in isolated houses.
We have been enforcing vaccination from
the development of the first case, and up
to date about one thousand persons have
been vaccinated in the town and vicinity.
The Town Council, the physicians and
Board of Health have been working har-
moniously and promptly, and the dis
ease is at present In check.

Cheap Rates to the Panhan-
die.

For the purpose of enlarging
the Public's knowledge of the
true conditions holding IN North
west Texas-(The Panhandle)-
"The Denver Road has put in
effect round-trip party home
seekers rates to points along its
line. These rates are upon a
basis of one fare for the round
trip for parties OF five or more
persons travelling together on
one ticket, and carry the privi.
lege of stop-overs at pleasure at
all points North of and includ-
ing Vernon; Texas; passengers
being allowed a limit of 80 days
in which to return.
In view Of the fact that the
Panhandle is enjoying the most
rapid growth Of any section of
Texas, for which there is ample
reason, this move upon the part
of "The Denver Road" is a wise
one and will doubtless result in
the splendid agricultural and
business opportunities of that
section becoming better known
and appreciated within a very
short period of time. This sec
tiOn of Texas abounds in re
sources and the land, being still
available at very low prices, is
now being rapidly taken up.

BELIEVE ALL YOU

The Pine Bluff ARK. } Graphic
gives some good advice that is
worth more than gold in the fol-
lowing: mo one is to be more
profoundly pitied than he who
believes everything reported Of
his neighbor. Such a disposi
ton may be termed cancer OF
the heart and eats out all the
charity, mercy and faith in his
kind. We are dependent upon
each other for life and happi,
ness in this world, and life is a
dreary, dark dungeon if we lose
faith in humanity. There are
frailties enough in human
hearts, but the world holds mil
lions of men today who would
die for honor, and whose word
is as sure as life. Millions of
pure women worthy or all es-
TEEN live in our country, rear
their children in the fear and
admonition of the Lord and will
one day pass through the pear
lv gates, and he who sees evil
in innocent actions and imputes
wicked motives to Others is a
human hyena, unworthy OF the
name of man. This custom of
believing every evil report is so
common that the most notorious
black guard in a community
holds the power to tarnish the
name of the purest woman, leav
ing upon it 4 smirch never to be
effaced. No weakness is pro-
ductive of so much harm as that
of credulity in reference TO Sian
der, being responsible for more

strange that it should last week

even as far south as Austin and
still not frost in the Panhandle.
There is nothing strange about
it. 1t frOStS month earlier
