We hear of some cases right on the public road, and nothing has been done to protect the traveling public. Some say it is not smallpox; others say it is Cuban itch or chicken pox, while some of the doctors say it is smahpox in a light form. You may call it light or heavy, or what you please, bus it is a contagious in fection and’s killing people right and leit, aud we think it is high time for the town and county authorities and the people every where to use every pre caution end take the matter in hand and provide some measure towards suppressing the disease, remembering it is said that an ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure.
