Description
There is a smallpox scare among the colored troops at Weston. Several cases have been sent to the pest house and families have been quarantined.
One woman broke through the quarantine at Weston and went to her mother's at Woodruff. This caused a scare at the latter place and the negroes are quarantined. The disease is of a light form and is the same that has been prevalent in other places.Date(s) of Creation
