MONTICELLO’S SMALLPOX SITUATION.

The smallpox situation has remained unchanged since last Thursday, at which time Floyd Baum, a high school student from Yeoman, was discovered to have the disease, and the schools were closed. All public assemblages were prohibited until further notice. No new cases have developed here since, notwithstanding rumors to the contrary, but the health officers have decided in the intertesta of public safety to continue the closing order another week. There will therefore be no school nor church services' next Sunday. The playhouses will also remain closed.—Monticello Herald.
