SMALLPOX QUARANTINE LIFTED AT MONTICELLO.

Monticello’s smallpox quarantine was lifted Sunday and the churches resumed services and the schools opened Monday. There are still a few cases of the disease there but the families are quarantined and it Is not thought any new cases will result by permitting the churches and schools to reopen and allow other public gatherings. The Monticello Journal says: The past four weeks have beeen costly ones to Monticello in more ways than one and it is hoped the town will never have another such experience. Some of the people held in quarantine were quite extravagant in their demands for provisions, and possibly laid in a« supply for sometime to come. One* family asked for over a dollar's worth of lard in one week.
