No Now Cases aud No Feat Among: the Feop'e. Small pox would soon be stamp ed out ?f every community where it breaks out would do as Laueas Ur has done.- V ivo years age when tlx0*Mlisease appeared it some of our neighboring towni vaccination was made compulsory hero and white and black wen vaccinated. The tirst and only case in the town developed tei days ago. The party has beet ; quarantined in his home and wil bo tintil all dunger of comtnunica I ting thedisense has pasted. Vac I oination of the town was orderet ( l and four days have elapsed sinct the phybicians completed tin work. This prompt action or the part of the authorities hat doubtless stamped the disease out here and all fear that it woulc | spread has subsided. As a fur I ther precaution to protect th< town and the people of the surrounding country who do theii trading here a strict quarantim has been inaugurated against the cotton mill district and vicinity preventing persons from the mil! district coming into town and anj person from the town going into | the mill district, as will be seer I from an ordinance published in this issue. Ten guards were sworn in and all avenues to the mill district are kept guarded. Sc touch for what the towu has don< and is doing. At the cotton mill, as stated it our last issue, Dr. Mackey was put in charge by the State boarc of health. He began at once with vaccination and the entin population there except thirty persons, had been vaccinated up to Thursday afternoon. The dis oase lms been kept confined to tbc bouses in which it had appearei before our last issue- no new cases appearing. The mill authori tie8 will keep strictly quarantine! all houses in which there is small pox until tho danger of couiniuni eating it is past and will use even other precaution. And now a word to the pan ioky. The editor of JTbo Ledger always endeavors to bo hones I with its readers. When a cast of smullpox broke out in Lancas tor we did not suppress the fact Wo published it at once. Wc ielt it our duty to put the people on guard, for then they would use precaution and the chances of its spreading would be miminizet and such has been the case. The rpeople of the country remainec at heme until they could feel as sured they would not come ii contact with persons infected witl the disease. .Now, that strict qua rantine is maintaiued, vaccinator has been enforced and every other precaution taken, the people of the country feel with the people of the town that the dangei is over and that the disease has been nipped in the bud. That is unr way 01 tmntcing. If wo thou ght otherwise we would say so for dollars and cents do not weigh with us when placed in th< balance with danger to human life The Quarantine Ordinance. Whereas the Board of Health, in order to prevent the spread ol the smallpox into the Town limits of the Town of Lancaster, at f meeting held this day adopted s resolution establishing a quarantine against all persons residing beyond the limits of said Town ir the district?known as the property belonging to the Lancaster Cotton Mills, and recommending its rigid enforcement.
