Pour Deaths in One Family. The family of Dlutler Cunzninghamn, a col ( ored tenant on the farm belonging to Mr. -J. V. Jones, near Enterprise, have been great sufferers within the last week. About ten days ago nearly every member of the fanmity was takeni sick with typhoid fever. Two of the childran died Friday and their mother died Sunday. The fever was of such a malignant type that medical skill wats tot ally inef'ectual. This fearful miortality m-ty be stributed to a pile ot decaying cotton seed, and a filthy pig penl. They were very poor people and in consequence had beeni during tile fall and winter unable to provide ei ther an abundance of (lie best food or (lie 'most comfortable clothing--with systeins insufficlently nourished, and imiiproperly protected from thie weather, they were phy~ sically not in a good condit ion to resist (lie attack of the fever wvhiceh resulted as a na., tural consequence cf thte plain violation of the hygiene. So violent was the poison enmltied. fromn lie seed and (lhe pen in which a hog had been fattened last fail, thlat the fowl. about the yard sickened and died as soon as the warm sunshine filled (lie air with the poisonous germs, which had lain dormant during the cold weather. Mr. Jones Is dolig everydhing possible for the atfficted people. Besides secur'ng medical attention lie has ordered the causes of disease to be abated by a heavy covering of earth thrown over them. To remove them at present would be alniost certain death to whoever undertook the job. Last year it, was our painful d'uty to pub lisht the same affliction of a wvhiite family ot - ~ this count& in which thiere were several utenths, from typhioidi fever, produced by a ig pen. These facets, are warnluings which stiould l's heeded by our people.
