rHE REpBREAsTs OF ENGLAND

As familiar step bird one
would expect the redbresst to utter
some homely little lay, resembling,
for example, that of our chipping
sparrow. But, on the contrary, its
shrill, winding pipe and detached
fragments of song seemed to me in
dicative Of the wildness and restless
ness which characterize some Of the
notes of the purple finch. The red
breast sings throughout the greater
part of the year, and 1t is evident
that one should hear it's song dur
ing the comparatively silent winter
season if one would understand the
place it holds in English literature
and in the hearts of English people.

NOT BY MILES.
Distance Lends Highly Exaggerated
Views.

AS an evidence how local affairs be-
come exaggerated by rumor, witness
the following preceded by scare head
lines) from the fredericksburg Journal:
''News was received in this city Fri
day that thirteen cases of smallpox
have been reported at Irvington. The
disease is said to have been brought
from Baltimore, Md. by negro who
was employed on fishing boat. All
of the victims ane among the colored
population in and around Irvington.
The place was promptly quarantined. !"
Ten miles from the scene of small
pox in this county the people are more
excited than they are in its immediate
vicinity. Our newspaper friends will
please take note that there is not
case of smallpox in Irvington, nor
within three miles. Also that of our
eleven hundred inhabitants not negro
is owner or renter whiting our village.
This last point is noted to show the
absurdity of the report that Irvington
is quarantined.

Court adjourned Wednesday, very
little business having been transacted,
the smallpox scare being too much
to contend against at this term.

matters were continued until next
term.

SMALLPOX SCARE.

About fifteen cases of smallpox
of more or less mild form exist
among negroes in Churchfield settle
ment, which is equidistant and about
three miles from Irvington, Weems
and Kilmarnock. The very word Small
pox" is sufficient to throw timid people
into duckft, and to that extent is
injurious to nerves and the material
interests of a county. Rumors and
hearsays had so enlarged the situation
that our court gathering on Monday
last was occupied chiefly with hosting
the yellow flag. The Health Board
has the matter well in hand, notwith-
standing sensational utterances to the
contrary.
A negro caught it up the county and
spread the trouble among his tribe near
Christ Church. 1t was promptly rec
ognized as smallpox by Drs. Hubbard,
Newbill and Edmonds; and Dr. A. c.
Fisher, being summoned as an expert,
confirmed their opinion. While genuine,
it is not severe, for it could hardly be
severe in summertime No clean person,
particularly white one, need fear the
malady now, unless rubbing up with or
being in close quarters with one having
the disease. Wewouldn not for moment
hesitate to converse in the open air with
one so affected. In fact, aside from the
sensational and damaging rumors, small
pox at the present time is far prefer
able to an epidemic of typhoid, diph-
liberia or several common Affections we
might name. Just watch results and
see how many mortalities occur, par
ticularly among whites.
1t is to be hoped that the excitement
engendered will not throw our county
authorities off their feet and force them
The Health Board can steer the matter,
and no second thought should be wasted
upon it by our citizens. There may be
some unduly excited ones, but their ex-
citement might have been equally as
great if the authorities mad gone ahead
and made big and extravagant arrange
ments. We do not mean to discourage
any steps seeking to stamp out the
germs before cool weather sets in, but
let moderation and common sense pre-
vail.
Demands from some parties were so
urgent on Monday and the discussion SO
heated that Judge Wright decided to
have the Health Board appear at Lam
caster on Tuesday morning so as to give
everybody an opportunity to find out
from these officials what was being
done, etc. The meeting, however, was
rather slimly attended, it being especi-
ally noticeable that some who were most
excited on Monday and showed most
concern over the matter were conspicu

You've often heard it said that there
are tricks in all trades-well, it's al
the same old trick and that's dishonesty.
Mighty few people ever succeed by
tricks-the safe way is just plain hon.
esty, and delivering the goods. The
time and brains some people waste
trying to cheat would make them
good honest money. Honesty certainly
is the best policy, boys, because the

that general truth. The question i
