Scarlet Fever at Perry, Bonaire and
Powersville.
It was reported last Saturday
that a child of Rev. A. S. Dix, on
Swift street, was sick with fever,
and that the affliction resembled
Scarlet fever. No official action
was then taken, bukMr. Dix read
ily promised that no member of
his family should leave the prem
ises, and that no visitor other
than the attending phasician
should enter the house.
Monday about noon Dr. Holtz
claw informed Mayor Hodges that
the suspected case was Scarlet fe
ver, though of|very light form.
During the afternoon a city coun
cil meeting was held, and the
premises of Mr. Dix, (the Swift
residence) was placed under quar
antine.
It is not believed that the dis
ease will spread.
If there be any who have been
subject to contagionfrom having
eisited the home.of Rev A. S.
Dix within the last week, it is re
quested that they remain at home
for the remainder of this week, at
least
As young children are more
snsceptible to this disease than
older people, Dr. Holtzclaw
uhinks it best that all under 12
years of age be kept at home, for
awhile. This precaution should
be observed more rigidly because
of the fact that Jhe;disease is in
two families at Bonaire, and at
Powrsville, aud that there was a
death from Scarlet fever at each
of these towns last week. The
disease also exists in Bibb county
not far from the Houston line.
