An interview with Mayor Brum mitt discloses the fact that no new case of smallpox has appeared in Oxford within the past ten days and that the one old case, that of the wife of Sam Slaughter col ored, who ran a boarding house, is about well. The suspects, or rath er those who were suspected of having been in probable contact with a patient, have not, developed the disease and will soon be releas ed with a clean bill of health- The Ledger man wanted to get a report from Dr. Watkins but that physi cian is away at the funeral of a re lative. Likewise the reporter failed to see Dr. Sam Booth in reference to the situation in the county. The mayor said that a few days ago, there were five cases in the county and that he had not heard of any new ones. No Danger in Oxford. The doctors think- the single Ox ford case, was caught from money given by a Durham colored man in payment for board. There is now no danger as most of the people here have been vaccinated and as the quarantine against Durham is properly observed. The police re port that passengers from that city are all bringing the certificates that the law requires. . All school children have been vaccinated and the majority; of the grown folks as well- Dr. T. L. Booth has vaccinated over five hundred and the other physicians, though they have not yet been seen7 have evidently made big records. Everybody Should be Vaccinated. Some people have been afraid of being vaccinated on account a re port that there is danger of con tracting other diseases from the virus. When a vaccination "takes" it does make the victim feel grog gy for a day or two, but there is no danger. - Until quite recently there was some foundation for the fear as the virus was taken from one person and injected directly in another. But more modern meth ods have done away with that dah generous way and the human virus nr lnnp-pr nsp-fl . The tiresent meth od is individual and sanitary- No one need fear it,and,everyone should get some of it under his skin, if he has not already done so. In that way, smallpox can absolutely be stamped out. WANTED: Aplace to work by young boy about 18 years of ags clerking or similar work of any, kind.
