lUTESvILLE and MARBLE HILL
Saturday, July 3, 'O9.
I}ETW ZEN

The report that there Is smallpox in Lutes-
vile and Marble Hill and that the picnic here
has been called off on account of it is absolutely
false. There is not and has not been a case of
smallpox IN either OF the towns or near either of
them. The management Is putting forth every
effort to make this the greatest picnic ever given
here. You will miss a big time II you fail to
come. Don't mis-, IL!
