A case of smallpox was re-

this is the season of the year

ent it stands people well in hand
to be on their guard. 1t is no
hard matter to suppress and pre-
vent the spread of contagious
diseases if proper vigilance is ex-
ercised and necessary precaut-
ion taken. Let the people,
everywhere, be careful to report
to the health officers every sus-
picious case of sickness, in order
that it may be investigated at
the first opportunity, and in this
way much sickness and trouble
may be avoided.

furnish the ground if you will
provide the hogs and feed, and

we will expect you to do the

the time comes. This is as good
an offer as was made by gentle
men who lives on the Mississippi

wood, floating down the river,
