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.

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.
