milk from 2012 cents to 81 cents
a quart. Premium, vitamin Z

strike down victims at a rate of
more than three per day.
Three more cases were reported

sent the death toll to IL.

that of 21-year-old man, father
of a little girl who died II days

ty, which reported it's second case
yesterday.

the outbreak started here and in
Wythe County was reported last
night. Bristol is on the Tennes-
