Brunson, after a de- which come from the direction of Atlanta and the infected districts, 11 think it advisable that our city board of health take some precau tions to keep the dread disease out of our little town. I noticed this morning on Front street, near the freight depot, that the city force* of street hands were exhuming some tile drainage piping.
