f-For some days a great deal of on.
necessary talk has been indulged in In
regard to a supposed case of smallpox
in Greensboro, and many people have
become unduly excited over the scare.
The facts are these: On Sunday, March
5tb, amanby the name of Fentreas,
who had been employed at Newport
News, Van came home on a visit to hla
family. He was feeling unwell at the
time and called in a physician, Hla
aijment was pronounced smallpox.
The family was at once quarantined
and a general vaccination of the citi
zens of Greensboro ordered by the
board of aldermen. Fentress has not
been confined to his bed, and but for
the strict quarantine observed, would
have been able to have gone about hla
usual occupation. He has never been
separated from his Tamlly and neither
his wife nor any of the children have
been sick, although It is now seventeen
days since he came home. The doctors
say the limit for contracting smallpox
from another person is fourteen days,
from which it will be seen there Is now
nb danger whatever. It is also pretty
strong evidence that there has been no
smallpox in Greensboro, in which be
lief a great many people concur. All
persons who cams in contact with the
patient have been confined In houses of
detention, where they will be kept un
til the supposed danger Is passed. The
city has nor been quarantined and
everybody Is free to come and go as
they please. Persons having business
here need have no fears whatever, as
they can come to Greensboro with per
fect safety. There is absolutely no
dinger of smallpox here. We make
this statement because of the erroneous
and false reports that have gone out
from here and been circulated through,
the Country.
We take care of estates and proper
ties for owners or heirs, pay taxes, In
st ranee, look after general conditions,
collect rent8,etc.
