A FALSE REPORT pENlEp.

Owing to the change OF sea
sons, the unusually dry winter,
the unreasonable weather (hot
days aud chilly nights and to
obscure atmospheric conditions,
all of which influences have
prevailed throughout the south
ern states. there has been a
great deal of malarial fever
and an almost universal epidem
ic of rheumatic affections and
Of digestive disturbance anon G
children. However Madison has
not had more than its share,
and, save four cases of typhoid
there has been no epidemic OF
fever. Our reporter has inter
viewed Madison's four physi-
clans and they assure us that
these four possible cases, all
remotely separated from each
other, cover all the typhoid that
our county has had. Of the
four, two have died, the other
two are happily convalesceni.
OF several deaths in the COM
munity in the last few months,
some have been little children
Who died Of digestive and bowel
troubles, aud at least two have
been chronic troubles of long
standing. Excepting consider
able sickness among the negros
and among the Normal pupils
who, in many instances, attri-
butte their illness to the radical
change of climate, there is very
little serious sickness in our
town and county now.
We regret that any sensatio
al reports should have been sent
out from this town. The physi-
clans, one and all, give us per-
mission to say for them that
though as we stated, there has
been considerable sickness of a
type not confined to our town
or county There has absolutely
been no typhoid in the county
save the cases cited. Marshal
Dale, as is his annual custom,
cleaned out the stand pipe some
weeks ago and found absolute
ly nothing menacing to the pub

sediment there was nothing
found in the water, and he states
that it was found in a better
than ever before. We.
would appreciate it if all who
wish to discount every thing of

.ure, would accept and make
