Mt. Washington seeks to prevent small pox epidemic

Mt. Washington, KY Feb, 24.  This community had quite a scare last week when Dr. 
FURNISH called to see Dr. L. S. SETTLe who had been ill for several days and 
pronounced his illness, small pox.,

It is hoped it will not spread thru the town and school as the teachers, pupils and a 
number of others have been vaccinated, and every precaution should be used in 
hindering this disease in its hold on our community.  There has been no other case 
reported up to date, but, because of the chance of it spreading, the Eastern Star has 
postponed the play, indefinitely that was to have been given next Saturday night.

(I believe the year was 1925)
