Smallpox at Norwich University.

Norwich university at Mortified Is
under strict military quarantine and the
cadets are living in tents until all dan
ger from an outbreak of smallpox Is
averted Cadet L. W. Smith of Green
field, Mass, contracted the disease I'M
doubtedly while on a visit to his home,
where his mother had been sick with
an ailment which was diagnosed as
chickenpox. DIR. Whitney, the resident
physician at Norwich, summoned Dr.
Holton of Brattleboro, secretary of the
state board of health, and the latter
pronounced Smiths disease as smallpox.
Later V. S. Belyea, of Greenfield, who
had roomed with Smith, also became ILL.,.
Both young men were removed to an
isolated ward where they are recovering.
No serious trouble is expected from the
outbreak as the prompt measures taken
will undoubtedly prevent the spreading
of the disease.

A New plan for Roads.

If Il system could be devised to
work all the idle labOrers of the
county on the public roads max
ing them into good turnpikes,
and take one-half the profit it
would add to our farm lands a..
dong these new turnpikes and
pay thes laborers for their work,
which it would amply do, we
would be able to have turnpikes
III Powell and at a profit to all
concerned besides, and the use
OF the good roads to boot. Here
is ii profitable project for some
tinancier: Let him secure an op-
ton on all farm lands along a
a certain road at what these lands
are now worth while the roads
are bad, then build the turnpikes
and dispose of the lands at what
they will be. worth after the pixies
are built We believe there would
be a good profit in the venture,
and suggest that some of the
more enterprising citizens along
some road leading from Clay
City form a company and make
a trial of it at the expense of
their less enterprising neighbors.
1t surely would pay not even TAX
ing into account the increased
value of their own farm lands.
