THE SHALLrOX SITUATION.
erv Precaution IJcInjj Taken fcy Our
Mayer and UoarJ of Altlemieii The
IIchjs? of W 1) Honis Well Unaided
Vaccination Urjyed for Our People.
As stated just at press time
last Saturday afternoon, there is
a case of smallpox in Concord in
the house of, Mr. "VV D Morris at
Forest Hill. The one -who has
the case is Manly Morris, the
young man who some weeks ago
came down town complaining
and was sent to his home. Dr.
Henry F Long, who is a small
pox expert and who held that
office with the State Board of
Health, was here Saturday after
noon and says that it is a dis
crete case. The patient is now
at the period where his skin is
beginning to peel off.
As soon as Dr. Long pro
nounced it smallpox the mayor
called a mooting of the board of
aWorman and stops wero taken
'at once to harness the situation.
The house of Mr. W D Morris
is now guarded well at all hours
and lit. one is allowed to come in
contact with this family. No ono
scarcely has been in contact in
the last several weeks with th(V
exception of Mrs. H C Morris
and she has not been there for1
more than a week. She was
vaccinated Sunday morning and
also the boarders at her house
The report that this young man
has been visiting about at Forest
Hill since he has been sick is un
true.
mi a
mere is no reason for our
people or for others outside of
town to become alarmed over the
.situation as the situation was
viewed beforehand and wo are
prepared to manage it. Four
good comfortable pesthouses are
now furnished outside of town
waiting for any suspects that our
physicians may find. Mr. H Mc
Namara has charge of the build
ings and will take care of any of
the sick ones.
One of the best steps our town
has been advised to take is to
get our people vaccinated, as was
urgently requested in Mayor
Means' card.
LATER.
We learn today (Monday) from
Mayor Means that there are five
more new cases in the house of
Mr. W D Morris at Forest Hill.
This does not make the situation
any worse for our people though
as it is nothing more than is of
course expected as this family of
eight persons are confined here
in tho house in order to prevent
the spread of the disease.

friends in this place: "The
acceptance by Mr. " Alfred H.

responsible postion in Jackson

loso one of its most charming

Lemons for the Hands.
One of the best possible mani-
cure acids is lemon mice, diluted j
only removes stains from the
nails but loosens the cuticle
far better than scissors will.
Lemons are also excellent for
whitening hands which have
become tanned by exposure to

COXYEKTED HIS MOTHER.
Moody's Mother Te?er Heard !Hm
Treach Till Ue Was Famous.
Edward Kimball, who was re
sponsible for bringing Dwight L
Moody into tho church, tells in
tho following story of how tbe
great evangelist converted his
own mother.
For many years Mr. Moody's
mother never sanctioned her
son's choice of the pulpit as his
life work. The mother never
even heard her son preach until
long years after ho was world
renowned. In 1875 ho returned
to his home in Northfield to
preach, shortly after coming
back to America from one of his
great London successes. The
family still lived on tho old farm
and still drove to town to Sun
day meeting in tho old farm
wagon. Tho mother startled a
daughter by saying to her:
"I don't suppose there would
be room in tho wagon for mo
this morning, would there ?"
No ono had ever thought oi'1
tho mother unbending and going
to hear her son.
"Of course there will bo room,
mother," sttid tho daughter, and
tho mother was taken down to
church with tho rest.
Mr. Moody preached from the
Fifty-first Pslam, and preached
with a'fervor that was probably
inspired by the presence of Ins
mother. When those who wished
prayer were asked to arise, old
Mrs. Moody stood up.
The son was completely over
come, and turning to B F Jacobs,
now of Chicago, said with emo
tion: "You pray Jacobs: I can't."
