during the last few days a decided improve?

The Sumter Light Infantry needs men
who will join the company and serve tb?
State and cation at this time when meo are
o<!eded.
The vaccination of tbs residents of this
city has been very nearly completed, and it ta
bihevtd tb it there will be but a few more
cases of am?!!p.x. - : .:/-.?
Surely there ia no one io Sumter wbo wants
to binder tbe Board of Heaitb io the effort to

be vaccinated at once.

hu notified Mayor Wilson of Sumter that all

The Daily Item furnishes the news as prompt?
ly as any of tbe papers of the large cities, and
Although the extra expense is considerable,

company during tbe past w*ek. Mr. R. D
Lee gare Mr. Seiles $10 to pay for the *n?*r
taiomeot of the recruits while tbev were ia
Columbia before jjioiog the Company
There bas from the first been a good deal
of confusion in Sumter regarding the small?
pox, and cc n eider able dooot bs3 existed as to
the disease From what we can lear-? this
has beeo caused by tbe fact that chickenpox
and smallpox have both been existing io
Sumter for some time. Of course the Board
of Health will take charge of all cas.-s of an
eruptive nature reported, whether they be
chickenpox or smallpox.
Oa and after Monday last, tbe Ordinance
of the city regardiog compulsory vaccination
will be rigidly enforced, and all persons re?
fusing to be vaccinated witl be brought nefore

mined to stamp out tbe pmal!p,jx epidemic at
tbe earliest possible date, aod does coi want
