After several months suffering
from a cancerous affection and other
ailments, Mrs. r. T.. Cowan, of Big
Sandy, died Saturday evening, at st.
Glare hospital, where she had been
under treatment. The death of the
patient was not unexpected, as it was
realized some time ago that recovery
was impossible, and the end was
awaited by members of the family
and many sympathizing friends.
Mrs. Cowan was the daughter of
w. A. Ragan and the late Mrs. Ragan,
of Big Sandy, and was about As years
old. Prior to her marriage to Mr..
Cowan about ten years ago, she was
engaged in teaching in the vicinity Of
Big Sandy, and had a wide acquaint-
ance among residents of that local
ity.
In compliance with a request made
by Mrs. Cowan before her death, bur-
ial will be made in Riverside ceme-
terry beside her mother, who died in
this city a few years ago.

Close Schools as Precautionary Measure.

In an effort to. stamp out he scatter
ing cases of SCARLET fever in our COM
munity, before they pass from mild
to violent form, the public schools
were closed last week until the Monday
after Thanksgiving. (
As only four homes are under quar-
antine the closing was more precaution-
ary than necessary, especially as every
case has been very mild. Indeed. it
is this feature that was most to be
feared, as in many cases children have
been sick and the illness was so slight
that no physician wa. called. Many
believe thas it ID not genuine scarlet
fever, but some contagious diseese
with some of the symptoms of scarlet
fever. At any rate there is no cause
for alarm to any of our people or those
who trade in our city.
