A TRUE STATEMENT
OF TIIK BMALLPOX SITUATION.
You would infer from the prom
inence which the newspapers have
given it, and the rumors which
have been circulating for the past
eight weeks, that Americus was a
veritable hot bed of smallpox.
This has done a great deal of
damage to our town in every re
spect. The true facts of the situ
ation are simply these: About
eight weeks ago we had three
mila cases of varioloid, or small
pox. They were not in the city
proper, but in what is known as
East Americus, which is a mile
from the center of the business
part of the city. They were close
ly and carefully guarded and
quarantined to preveut any
spread of the disease whatever.
These cases have about all recov
ered, in fact, the young man who
was first taken has been back fur
the past week or two at his post
of duty at the G. <fe A. shops.
The people in Americus have
never b3en frightened at all about
the spread of the trouble here,
and now, with the recovery of the
three patients who were affected,
the disease seems to be at an end,
and no more is to be heard of it
whatever. You hear ten times
more of this trouble out of town
than you will in it. 1 ou need
have no fears whatever in coming
here. The warm weather during
the month of November, and this
trouble together, ofcourse retard
ed business in a measure, but
everythingis full of life and stir.
We want to impress upon you the
importance of coming to Ameri—
cus to do your shopping, and also
the fact that we are headquarters,
and unquestionably show the
largest line of dress goods, cloth
ing and carpets, shoes and house
furmsbings in Southern Georgia.
A great many of you have paid us
a visit this season, and we hopeto
see mauy more of you.
Respectfully,
WHEATLEY – ANSLEY,
Americus, Ga.
