Mr.. Thos. d. Jones has been quite
sick at his home in this city the past
week or ten days with what the at
tending physicians have diagnosed as
small pox 1t is a malignant case and
Mr.. Jones is a pretty sick man, but it
is hoped will be convalescent in a few
days. 1t is thought the disease was
communicated to him by a man by
the name of Graft, living on what is
known as the Mace farm, south of
arcadia, who is said to have brought
the contagion here from st. Louis. A
son of Craft, living on Mr.. Jones'
farm, on Marble Creek, is also a suf-
ferer from the disease. All three
parties were %quarantined by the
County Board of Health last week
and every precaution is being taken
to prevent an epidemic. Let the
quarantine be strictly maintained and
every one see that it is rigidly en-
forced.

Redmond Black of near Redmond
vile was a business visitor in Center
vile Monday morning. We under
stand that Mr.. Black came down here
to look up the correct description of
some land lying close to the county
line, but in this county, for some Flat
River mining interests, who are doing
considerable prospecting in that sec
ton. From the best information tina,
!, we can obtain the prospects are good
for the development of a rich mine 0,
mines in that section. A heavy blast
of dynamite discharged in the rugg ed
hillside of a tract of land owned by
VIM. Raytield is said to have disclosed
a good lead of copper, which appear.
, ed to be in such quantities as to ex'
! cite the prospectors who are supposed
to be experienced miners, and the J
Immediately got busy securing OPP
, tions, which yer taken. we under
stand, at 800 per acre. That section
OF the county, extending as far soutl
as Black, is without doubt undertake
i with a rich deposit Of mineral, and W.
hope that the time has now arrived
when it will be thoroughly developed
