HEALTH CONDITIONS GETTING BETTER

Contagious Diseases Vanishing and General Health Conditions Reported Better.

Health conditions in Hancock county are growing rapidly better. The contagious diseases that have prevailed in several localities are rapidly vanishing. In some places where quarantine has been maintained, the diseases have disappeared entirely and in other places only a few are afflicted. It is hoped that within a short time there will be no trace of contagious disease left. General health conditions are reported better also. Physicians report that there is not nearly so much sickness in the city and county as there has been, and doctors are having a breathing spell now. One thing a doctor said is the farmers haven't any time now to be sick for their spring work is upon them and covering them up and a doctor is the last person they want to see.

They went there in 1898 and the work was very successful. While they were there a new $10,000 church was built and paid for. The German Methodist church as a body sold their church and united with the church of which Rev. Ward was pastor, and it was a fine thing for both congregations, as it made them strong and powerful. The membership was doubled during Rev. Ward's work there, and the membership is quite wealthy, aggegating more than $2,000,000. They have, within the last year or so, erected a handsome new $4,000 parsonage, with all modern improvements.
