a great
inconvenience and considerable
expense to the county and munic
ipalities.
So far there lias been no re-ap
pearance of the disease except two
light cases early this winter in a
farm cabin in which there had
been cases that were not reported
to the authorities two,years ago.
Because of this failure to report,
that cabin was not disinfected, as
were all the others wherein there
had been cases.
Now, small pox exists in Macon
county, and several days ago a
prominent citizen of Montezuma
died from the effects of this dread
disease. Several localities have
quaranbeed against Montezuma,
but so far as Houston is concern
ed, there is no restriction as to
our citizens going into the infect
ed communities, or of citizens of
those localities coming into this
county.
It wauld be practically imposs
ible for the county to maintain an
effective quarantine, and perhaps
it may not be advisable for the
municipal authorities to do so.
Our citizens, however, can re
frain from going into the iufected
localities, and they can be oareful
that they do not come in contact
with people who have been there
and subject to contagion.
This is not a matter of senti
ment, but of self protection.
The experience of two years ago
was excessively disagreeable to all
who were in a neighborhood where
the disease existed, and we should
all use great oare to avoid conta
gion aud a repetition of the expe
rience of two years ago.
1902:
At our annual stock-holders
meeting on January 7th, 1903, it
was found, from the cashier’s re
port, that the bank had earned a
netr dividend of 15£ per cent, for
1902; 8 per cent of this was paid
out in dividends to the stockhold
ers and the balance placed to the
credit of our surplus account, giv
ing us sufficient surplus to make
stock worth $56.00 per share on a
capital stock of $25,000.00. The
stockholders directed that enough
stock be sold to make our capital
stook $25,000.00. This has been
done with the exception of abou£
16 shares,|and we have demand for
more than that amount now.
The directors, Q. R. Maun, L.
F. Cater, R. L. Cater, L. M. Paul,
A. A. Smoak, F. M. Houser and
,T. N. Tuttle, were elected, and
