NEWLAND

The small pox is still confined to the Rees families. It is reported that some of them are very sick. School started Monday, after a three weeks shut down. A car of coal arrived at this place Tuesday. A. C. Campbell and Virginia have been nursing sore arms as a result of vaccination. It seems that Mr. Henley and Mr. Stanten have called off their much talked of boxing bout. Wisdom is the better part of valor, fellows. Gladys Smith, who has been on the sick list is reported to be better. Louis Cavendish, who enlisted in the army from here, is now stationed at Vancounver, Wash. / The Barkley township teachers meet in institute this Saturday, at Cozy Palace school house. Patrons of the school especially invited. All welcome.
