Diphtheria Scare Again Disturbs The Monticello Schools.

A new case of diphtheria has been discovered in Monticello. The case has been put under quarantine. In order to protect the school children where one of the children of the family thus affected attended, the health officer has ordered the throats of all the pupils, teachers and janitors swabbed, and the school will be closed down until the building has been thoroughly disinfected and fumigated.
