Old Cases ALI Confined In
the County Hospitals at
Concord and Gracey.
ONLY FIVE CASES HERE.
Officials Will Begin Arrests
To-day of the Unvac-
cinated.

The health officers have been busy
all the week gathering up the ne
groes strolling about with small
pox in the country, and believe now
that they have about all of them in
confinement. Two families were
sent for yesterday, one near Penn
, p-cle and the other near Elmo. 1t
is said there are several cases near
Crofton, around Empire mines, and
when these are brought in it is be-
lieved that all in the county will be
well in hand. A large number of
suspects are being taken to the hos
pitfalls. Many of these upon exami-
nation are found to have recovered,
or to have other ailments than small
pOx. As soon as they are investi-
gated they are made to clean up and
are released.
Gracey was the worst place and
negroes from cambridge to Julien
have been put in the Gracey hospit-
al to the number of nearly 49,
None are very sick and all are MAX
ing heavy demands for provisions
and supplies, embracing everything
from fancy groceries to loads Of
corn. The Concord hospital is full
of negroes, and they too are being
cared for so well that nearly every
negro with the itch is anxious to get
into the pest house"
In the city the danger is over.
The wOrkhouse has been converted
into hospital for white people. j.
B. Redmond, who has been sick for a
week, was taken there yesterday.
One new case, that Of John Heath, a
white man, was discovered yesterday
and he was promptly taken to the
city hospital.
One negro man, Mat Greenway,
was found and taken to the Concord
hospital. There are now only three
cases in the city-Mrs. Guthrie, Mrs.
Ledford and Miss Hall;a are getting
well. These three cases and two in
the hospital are all that are now in
More than 5000 vaccination GER
many of them for families,
have been turned in to Health Officer
Woodland for the city alone. Some
warrants were taken out yesterday
and arrests will begin today. If you
haven't been vaccinated you are
liable to be arrested unless you leave
town.
Crofton was quarantined against
Hopkinsville and the L. & N. rail-
road will not sell tickets to passen-
gers to Crofton who are without
health certificates. Just why this
was done is not easily understood, as
The county health officer was yester-
lay notified of the condition of |
affairs within a mile of Crofton.
The smallpox is now we'll in hand |
and the situation will daily grow
better. There is no excitement and |
Ill uneasiness has disappeared. |
Practically everybody in the city has
oeen vaccinated.
