He was feeling unwell at tho time and called ID a physician. His ailment was pronounced smallpox. The family was at once quarantined and a general vaccination ef the citi-zens of Greensboro ordered by the board of aldermen. Fentress has not been confined to his bed, and but for the strict quarantine observed, would have been able to have gone about his usual occupation. He has never been separated from his family and neither his wife nor any of the children have been sick, although it is now seventeen days since he came home. Thedocters say the limit for centractlng smallpox from another person is fourteen days, from which it will be seen there is now no danger whatever. It is also pretty strong evidence that there has been ne smallpox in Greensboro, in which be-lief a great many people concur. All persons who cams in contact with the patient have been conHned in houses of detention, where they will be kept un-til the supposed danger is passed. The city has not been quarantined and everybody is free to come and go as they please. Persons having business here need have no fears whatever, as they can come to Greensboro with per-fect safety.

The facts are these: On Sunday, March 5th, a man by the name of Fentress, who had been employed at Newport News, Va., came home on a visit to bis family. He was feeling unwell at tho time and called ID a physician. His ailment was pronounced smallpox. The family was at once quarantined and a general vaccination ef the citi-zens of Greensboro ordered by the board of aldermen. Fentress has not been confined to his bed, and but for the strict quarantine observed, would have been able to have gone about his usual occupation. He has never been separated from his family and neither his wife nor any of the children have been sick, although it is now seventeen days since he came home. Thedocters say the limit for centractlng smallpox from another person is fourteen days, from which it will be seen there is now no danger whatever.

All persons who cams in contact with the patient have been conHned in houses of detention, where they will be kept un-til the supposed danger is passed. The city has not been quarantined and everybody is free to come and go as they please. Persons having business here need have no fears whatever, as they can come to Greensboro with per-fect safety.
