which on the morning • after election

Times is a clean paper. It -l ls just as

open last Monday, on account of the
smallpox scare, but it will open' next
week. Resolutions have been passed by
the school board compelling all children
to biing evidence of successful vaccination
before being allowed to •enter school.
The smallpox scare is getting played out
here ; the • business his been overdone.
during the past two weeks. Several of
our well known citizens have been sur
prised to learn that they were ill with
smallpox. Your reporter was more un
fortunate than. the majority, as rumor
had him dead and buried in the night.
For information of the public, generally
we can say that there is not a single-case
of smallpox or varioloid in Sayre or

are unwilling to believe. that Mr. UAYNS:
FORD had smallpox.-

RATHER ROUGH.
• Oit Nov.: 19th, in the barn of
DAVIS, in Pike, Mr. 0. D. WOOD took
the occasion to reprove a couple; of the
•I3}raemnr bays for their misdoingS,:when
one of thrm struck him across the face
and neck with a. fork handle, knocking
him to the ground senseless, • and the
other also gavo.hiM a blow or taro in his
helpless condition. Mr. Wow - Was con.
fined to his .houso for some time, from
the severe injuries received, although we
are glad to state that - he is now out again.
It seems that: the boys have skedaddled
•
to parts unknown. It will perhaps' be
better for them to stay away, as we learn
that papers.haie already been issued for .
their arrest. Should they be caught, it
will no doubt go hard 'with them, as one
of the boys haB already served a term in
prison, and also in the county jail of late l
which-is a bad omen for the third offence.
