petitiou has beeu circulated in
the western part of the county
asking that the commissions'
be appointed from that section,

Tho present efficient board

BE VACCINATED.
ft is rumored that there are
j two cases of small pox at or
near Auburn in this county. j
bother this is true or not it
is time our people were vaccina- !
ted. There have been a num- i
her of cases in Atlanta and
while the authorities there have
used extraordinary precaution
to prevent the spread, going
so far as to enforce vaccination
by ordinance ami the arrest of
persons refusing to submit, still
it may gradually creep out in
the country.
It is so easily contracted
that persons may have it before
they know they have been ex
posed and in this way spread it,
especially along the railroads.
The only safety is in vaccina
tion and while this is not regar
ded as an absolute protection,
it i- u great safeguard fromcon
i meting the disease and in the
event the party does take it the
disease is in a very mild form
Too much precaution cannot
he taken to avoid this horrible
diseaso. Hence, it is to the in
terest of everybody to protect
themselves as best they can.
Be vaccinated!
IIE WAS WELL SUPPLIED
Last woek quite a good deal
of excitement was created when
two revenue officers invaded the
peaceable town of Norcross,
and began to wander about
with a suspicious look upon
their faces. Now, Norcross has
always enjoyed the reputation
of being a strictly moral town,
and no one would have stiß
peclod that oven if a fellow got
snake bit over there he couldn’t
get enough whisky to prolong
his stay on this mundane sphere
unless perhaps ho might get his
clutches on some good lady’s
camphor Louie; however, this
was not the case, for when these
revenue officers scented the air
in that neighborhood it was not
long before they discovered the
fumes of condensed corn about
the house of Josh Mitchell, and
after arming themselves with a
search warrant they went in,
and 10l and behold, nineteen
gallons of whisky were found
and seized.
DIRECTORS MEET.
The directors of tho Gwin
nett C’ouuty Fair Association

Tuesday for the purpose of pay

present was turned over to
