The people should look out for the picture enlarging man. Sev eral have been reported through out north Georgia and Carters ville and vicinity" are their territory just as much as any other. The genus home that comes under this head is the fellow that calls around generally among the lowly and ignorant, as the agent of a large picture enlarging concern in the north or east, who always do first class work at a very low price. He gets a photo of “our little Willie" or probably of some d_ar departed one, collects in advance and that is the last of the man, picture, and cash, at least so far as the foolish victim is concerned. One of these gentlemen was arrested in Chattanooga Sunday who had 200 photographs in his possession, that he had secured from his dupes. These fellows sometimes takes photos and in a few days notify" their victims that the work is ready", but it would be necessary to remit a large sum for a frame wherein it had been placed Of course the frame is “cheap” and when the money is sent it may come or it may not. It is always a safe plan to do business with your local people anyhow and then you run no risk. A DELIGHTFUL TRIP. In a Luxurious Special Car Ladies Go to Cedartovvn.

Haney Catches the Dis ease, Now Nearly Well. Considerable anxiety was mani fested in Cartersviile last Friday when it was made known that Mr. R. B. Haney, the young lawyer, was confined at the home of Mr. Nat Duntvihoo with small-pox. Mr. Haney is of the opinion ‘that he contracted the disease in Allan ta. With her usual promptness, Cartersviile met the occasion, quarantining the house and its oc cupants and putting them under guard clay and night. Mr. Haney is under the treatment of Dr. F. R. Calhoun, and will soon be out. No evidence of any one contract ing the disease has manifested it self. and the utmost precaution has been and is being taken, con sequently the people are not in the least disturbed but are cautious. It will be remembered that three years ago when there was much of the disease over the county, our people were all pretty well vacci nated. The city fathers have sup plied the local physicians with vaccine virus points, with instruc tions to compel vaccination where it has not been done. The physi cions report that nearly everybody was vaccinated successfully three years ago, and they have little to do now. Many wild reports have been cir culated over the county as to the single case in Cartersviile which are ludicious in the light of the facts of the case. There is one thing the people of the country that trade in Cartersviile can de pend upon. The city authorities of the town are going ro properly protect the health of the people. The manner in which they took charge of the single case of small pox was very commendable. They have no desire or intention to hide anything. They can depend upon the true facts being promptly known. The News does not believe in concealing facts, especially when these are not calculated to do any harm, when they are properly put before the people. The people can always depend upon The News stating those when neces sary". The News nor do the physicians or citizens believe there is any danger, but at the same time proper precaution will be ised. Asa precautionary measure and owing to the fact that the term is practically ended, the public examinations at the schools were ordered off, thus dismissing the children. Public exercises will be had as advertised, however. Mr. W. D. Rowland, county commissioner, who had the matter of the case in hand, located on the Mahan place near Cassville, re ports that the patient has been dis missed and the occupants of the house who have been exposed, will be dismissed next Tuesday it there are no further developments. Mr Rowland has been very watch ful in this case and the people of the communit " are grateful. In justice to Mr. Rowland it would be well enough to state that he has made no changes against the county for the interest and effort he has made in this case, though losing several days from his pri vate interests.
