Since our last scarlet fever found its way to our village, and we were considerably exercised, fearing it would spread. Precautionary measures were at once resorted to. The President of our Board of Education at once called a meeting of the directors and passed resolutions quarantining against the house of Mrs. C. M. Allen where the disease made its appearance, and had the children in that district (who were going to school) stopped and we are now encouraged in the hope that it is at an end without any serious results. We think great credit is due our incorporate body for their watchful care over the school, not only as incorporators under the four mile law, but for close attention to every interest of the children in attendance. We had 104 cases measles in our village since the 1st of January, but we believe it is now about over; had only one death, which was an infant of Mr. James Nelson's. (Submitted by Leonard McCown)
