Quarantine Is Raised.

The quarantine established
several weeks ago against Ohatta-
nooga and Knoxville on scco unit
of the small pox at those places
was lifted Monday morning.
No new cases have developed
at either of those places and oil
danger OF q spread OF the disease
has passed. Vaccination of
those that are we'll and isolation
Of such as have been exposed
without vaccination has again
been found the only really effec-
tive way to combat this dreaded
disease. af
DR.. Hembree, our county
health officer and his assistants
deserve credit for their efforts
to protect Grundy County from
infection. Everyone familiar
with the situation realizes that
it is next TO impossible to keep
people out, if they are deter
mined to get into the county, by
the establishment OF . mere
railroad quarantine. But who
IS it that can tell but that the
efforts put forth did keep the
disease out of our county?
After all vaccination ia the
only safeguard for the individ.
ual. Let all, young and old, be
vaccinated. 1t costs little and
is the only sure preventative
from Infection.
