Prevalence of Diphtheria Gives Church
Goers a Holiday.

The churches in Oakland were closed
Sunday and no services were held.
This action was taken in the interests
of checking the spread of diphtheria
in Oakland where six cases now exist.
Rev. W. E. Foltz OF the Christian
church in Oakland and Rev Mr. Van
Horn of the Presbyterian church and
Rev. ]. w. Reed of the Methodist
church held a conference and decided
not to hold any services Sunday.
Though unless conditions become worse
the services will be held as usual next
Sunday.
The diphtheria cases under quaran-
tine are in the families of w. B. Jes-
sup. T. NJ. Cummings. Ira Horner and
G. W. Wright.
Some agitation favoring the closing
of the Oakland school has been worked
up but it is hardly likely that any ac-
ton of that character will take place.

this question was asked him:

Few towns in the State are in the

Georgetown is entitled to all the
good things that have been said

state that Georgetown, as a settle
