Ga. who had not received medical at tention, there having been no ap plication, and an infant. So far the malady has appeared in only two white families, those of Mr, H. E. Talton and Mr. Bed ding Howard, neighbors on the road from Dennard to Kathleen. There were three cases at the home of Mr. Talton, himself and two daughters, all well now. Mr. Talton has been up and attending to his farm duties a week or more, and we understand he . says the disease he had was chicken ppx. * At Mr. Howard’s one of. his children has about recovered from a case of varioloid, and his sister was quite sick with small pox, though she is now recovering steadily. By authority of Judge Hurst and Commissioner Dennard, Dr. R. L. Cater has attended the cases reported, and by the same author ity all reported cases and persons known to have been directly ex posed have been quarantined. While every precaution thought to be necessary is being made to prevent the spread of the disease, it is not known how many negroes have been exposed, and all people should be very careful. Vaccina tion should be general, and for a while promiscuous hand-shaking might be dispensed with. Though some who have been lightly afflicted say the disease is only chicken pox, and others de clare it is not small pox, Dr. Ca ter of Perry and Dr. Williams of Bonaire, having made careful ex amination, both declare it is small pox, though in light form, and prudence is certainly the better part of valor in this connection. Including several cases that were convalescent before the first report was made, there have been at least thirty cases. Of these two have died, an old man on Col, Duncan’s plantation, and an in fant near Bonaire. Under quarantined there are now, besides the two white fami lies mentioned above, four fami lies on Col. Duncan’s farm, one at Kathleen, one on the Watson place near Bonaire, one on the Major Belvin place. There are others suspected. There was a meeting of citizens at Perry Tuesday morning, and Judge Hurst has requested Gov Candler to have a goevrnment ex pert sent here. In the mean time there will be no relax of the pre cautions used. Thanksgiving In Perry. Thursday, Novembe 29fcli, will be properly observed in Perry as a period of thanksgiving and praise.

In party service, Mr. White has ren dered valiant service to democra cy. Mr. Boler has fought democ racy with much vigor, preferring both populists and republicans. Can democrats hesitate as to their duty? Respectfully, Democrat. —Some of the negroeB declare that the disease now attracting so much attention in Houston is not small pox, but that it is elephant itch. Their story is that its first appearance was at Cordele, and it came as follows: A circus visited Cordele, and the straw used as bed ding for the elephants was gather ed up by some negroes and used in mattresses. , These negroes, it is said, were the first victims of the disease, and from them it spread. . -rl offer my Horse, Buggy!

In County Court on Wednesday of last week, Mr. Elisha Dukes, two sons and a nephew, O. M., E. W. and D. C. Dukes were on trial for simple larceny, The specific charge was for stealing corn and wheat from the farm of Mr. J. T. Hartley near Fort Valley, on which farm one of the young men was employed as agent or overseer. The jury returned a verdict, of not guilty, the trial having occu pied the entire day. It was after sundown when the verdict was ren dered, and the welcome declara tion was greeted with a loud dem onstration of approval, clamping hands and shouts by the friends of the accused. Judge Riley or dered sheriff Cooper to collect $5 from each "of the men making the noise, and a stampede ensued, and Sheriff Cooper secured only six out of about 15 or 20. When brought before Judge Ri ley, the offenders were permitted to explain. One of them will suf fice for all. He said, in substance: “Well, Judge, I didn’t mean, no harm by it; I thought court was adjourned. Anyhow, I was so glad I couldn’t help clapping my hands a little. I didn’t make much noise, no-how.” Judge Riley remitted the * fines, but warned the men that they must never again attempt such a demonstration in court. They promised, and departed with another measure added to their cup of jov. _■—— —;— Masonic Notice.
