considerably with the business of the
commercial travellers. Railway COM

Santa Fe is cooperating with the
health officers and all coaches are
locked before reaching Ardmore and
no passengers are allowed to
alight until they have COM
piled with the regulations of the city
health authorities. Passengers from
Davis and Marietta are not allowed
20 leave the trains here. The same
rule is effective against passengers
from all other affected cities. Ma
dill will not allow passengers to
transfer there and will not allow any
person to leave the trains. Almost
every town, no matter how small,
between here and the Arkansas line,
has its own quarantine regulations.
Drs. Hardy, Hargraves and Nc
Neese issued a statement today to
the effect that there are no cases
in Ardmore nor in Carter county and
that every precaution is being taken
to keep the town clear.
Tie city school board held meet
ing this morning and were advised
by the health officers as to the pro-

be made compulsory.
