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!
