John Duvall Was Sick k With Bad Case of Hives.

John Duvall, the dairyman, was confined at his home last week with a bad case of hives and in some manner the report gained circulation that he was a smallpox victim. Once started the report spread like wildfire and milk customers of Mr. Duvall were naturally much alarmed. There was no occasion, however, as Mr. Duvall had nothing but a case of giant hives, there was no eruption whatever and the report has been doing a decided injustice. . Dr. Johnson, the attending physician, called at The Republican office to ask that in the name of fairness to Mr. Duvall it be made perfectly clear to the public that he was suffering from nothing that was infectious and that he had nothing but hives. \
