Case of Scarlet Fever at Parr Causes Much Alarm.

A case of scarlet fever in the family of John N. Price at Parr has resulted in the quarantine of four families, the Price family, and the families of Chas. Rowen, Ed Price and John Lakin. The case is that of a 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Price, who has a very severe case and the chances of his recovery are slight. He had played with children from the other families and they Lad all been exposed. The Price famllly had recently returned from a visit in North Dakota and it is thought the disease was contracted there or on the train en route home. The school opening at Parr has been postponed one week.
