false. A prominent citizen of Cairo,

words with the State Health officers
and the police when | came up, | did
not volunteer TO take the gentleman in
charge, He may have said he would
go with me but | did not take him
away from anybody or have charge of
him
Captain Thistlewood, for he was the
party, walked up the street with me

TRUTH FROM PADucAH.
Dr.. Boyd Explains the Quarantine Sys.
TEN of Cairo.

The persons of Cairo who are In
charge of enforcing the quarantine OF
that city are very much incensed at
the reports that have gone abroad that
they have been discourtaous to the
travelling public, says yesterdays Pa

DR.. Frank Boyd, of Paducah, spent
Monday night in Cairo in company of
and as a guest of the quarantine Of
ticers, to ascertain the exact condi-
tion Of the affairs and the manner in
which they were conducting the quar-.
antine system. He says that the re.
ports sent out and told by some peo-
pie have been greatly exaggerated
and that the Cairo people are only
endeavoring TO enforce the quaran.

must act in the same way toward them
There need be no fear about going to
Cairo and suffer humiliation and EN-.
barrassment If you are provided with
a health certificate from the place you
left and one from the Cairo officials.
Since the new method of issuing
health certificates in Paducah has
been in force other towns are nor so
suspicious Of the certificates and more
willing to accept them without protest.
