Tyler, Smith Co., Feb. 6.—The prolonged inclement weather is having 
its effect upon many of Tyler and vicinity. Several deaths from 
pneumonia. Visited to-day four families. Connected with them were 
five cases of pneumonia. Citizens alarmed at the number of rabid 
dogs in and around Tyler. A Mr. Cousins, living near here, was 
bitten a few days ago, and has since died. The marshal of our city 
has orders to kill all dogs upon the streets.
