J FOURTH ST„ * T A Q - THE OCILLA D1SPAIEH. OCILLA, IB WIN COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1899, There are few if any unvaccin¬ ated white people in Ocilla now. Even the colored people seem eager to try the preventative. Mr- D. B. Smith, a nephew of Dr. Goodman, of Tifton, was shot by a negro in Florida a few days ago. Mr. Jack Grantham and Mrs. Peggy Grantham were married Sun¬ day mght, ’Squire J. A. J. Nobkb officiating. May their lives be bliss- ful. The camp i—small pox, we mean—is no more to be dreaded now than it was three or four weeks ago. If you have busiess in town, attend to it as usual. Mr. R. L. Henderson succeeds Mr. D. R. Henderson as deputy sheriff. Bob’s friends all over the county know he will make a good officer, as he is good anywhere you pat him. Mr. D. R. Henderson has resigned his office of deputy sheriff and has moved to south Florida to engage in the turpentine business. Ocilla sees Mr. Henderson and family leave with regret, but hopes to have them back again. They left Tuesday. We ask our contemporaries to help us spread the information that Ocilla has isolated every case or suspected case of small pox and that a compulsory vaccination ordi- nance is now in force. No white person has yet taken tbe disease in town, and it is not likely that any will hereafter. The danger of taking it is to small too mention. Ladies’ Flush Capes . *2.50 up.

Whereas, There is and has been for a number of months a pre¬ valence of Small Pox or other similar skin disease in Irwin county, the same having been recently pronounced Small Pox by a United States Government expert, and, Whereas, Said disease at present ehows no signs of abatement, It is therefore ordered, That a hospital be, and the same is hereby established, for the treatment and proper care of such persons as are infected with the same whose residence is outside of any of the in¬ corporated towns in said county. It is further ordered, That all persons residing outside of the corporate limits of towns in said county who have such disease to main¬ tain quarantine strictly. Therefore persons or families infected with this disease, if allowed to remain at their homes unmolested by the County Quarantine officers, must be properly cared for, and prevent ingress or egress upon the part of the inmates of their residence or out¬ siders, and failure to do this will necessitate the placing of guards around such places by the County Quarantine officers at the expense of the occupants, or their removal to the Pest House, as the law provides. Let this Order be spread upon the Minutes of tbo County Com¬ missioners Court, be published in circular form and in every paper in said county. M. HENDERSON, County Commissioner.

The isolation of all small pox cases will render, it unnecessary to further postpone court.

It broke out at Mr. Lije Hogan’s Monday, and many of his sympathetic friends have sat up nights with him this week. Neither local option nor the Wil¬ lingham bill will wipe out the liquor traffic. It might be curtailed to some extent,, but many of its worst evils would remain. This may not be a popular view to take of the question, lmt it is a true one.

To such we would say, accept the expert’s decision and join in with the town and county author- ties in stamping out the disease. There is no need for compulsory vaccination in Ocilla. The people, white and black, are taking in the lymph at a lively rate, and in a few days the breaking out will slink away for the want of material to work on. Mr. T. P. Green, a newspaper man of twenty-five years experience, four of which were spent in the government printing office in Wash¬ ington, is now with the Dispatch. He is a first-class printer, both newspaper and job, and is at home in the other departments of news¬ paper work. His only drawback is timidity, but we depend on Lije Young to pull him through that. A Fitzgerald paper last week stated that Hon. J. A. J. Hender¬ son would move to Florida, This is a full grown error.
