The Howard Schools Closed--No Public Assemblies Till Further Notice

Owing to a few mild cases of what the doctors call small pox, the Howard schools are closed for this week.  The theatre is also closed, and also the order is for no public or lodge meetings are to be held at present.

None of the cases are serious, and so far as we have heard, none are confined to their beds, but the affected ones who are all children are playing around home as usual.

There will be no Sunday school or church services next Sunday in Howard, and the Halloween frolic advertised for Monday night is called off.  There is no excitement over the situation.  There were ten or a dozen cases reported the first of the week and no new cases have since been reported.
