IDLE TALK.
At this late date tbe smallpox
gossip seems to show no abatement.
The community seems yet divided,
aud one Beueeless remark prompts
a dozen others, which adds noth-
itig but fuel to the flames, and as a
coLsequence the country at large
can do nothing but shun us. It
does seem that Heppneiites should
regain their composure and their
senses, knowing full well by this
time that the consequenses of the
few cases have amounted to noth
ing more serious than so many
casea of hives. The doctors have
it well in band, and a sensible co
operation of the people would have
stamped it out long ago. A past
house in the beginning would have
settled the whole business.

To whom it may concern (if it concerns
anyltody):
There baying been a great deal of talk
by people that knew nothing of tbe case,
we make this statement regarding Mr.
0. N. Peak, who died at bis ranob Bun
day al 8 a. m., tbe 17th inst.
. We saw tbe patient oo tbe 15th and
found him Buffering from bad Vaccinrjia
pustules forming on tbe arm froa
vaccine, aod bis temperature 101, with
severs pains iu tbo obest, and as be bad
had numerous hemorrhages of tbe longs
for several years, said be felt as though
he was going to have soother. Tbere
was tbe eruption sometimes following
vaocinnia, but bad nearly disappeared
at that tbat time, drying op. Oo Satur
day, at midnight, tbe hired man came io
and reported him bleeding at tbe longs.
He retnroed as soon as possible with
medioine, bat Mr. Feck laoaambed to
hemorrhage at 8 a. m. We arrived aboot
10 :')) Sunday morning, and went down
to Lexington telling tbe people tbat Mr.
I'eok bad died, aud asked them to assist
tbe family in bis burial. But tbe small
pox soars was oo and tbey would not go
oear tbe raocb. Al we could not leave
tbe family with their dead unburied,
we bad a Collin made there and tbey
took it oat near tbe bouse. We placed
tbe body in it, and took it to tbe oeme
tery and lowered it into a grave prepared
by tbe Lexiugtoo people (wbo bad taken
tbe precaution to leave before we ap'
peared;, tided it in, sod our services
were over. We were assisted only by
Mr, Htafford, wbo worked (or Mr. I'eok

We bad then aiid have now no reason
to think tbat Mr. Feck had smallpox.
