| Quarantine Raised Tuesday The
City Council and County Commissioners held a joint meeting last Friday
afternoon and decided, that owing to the prevalence of meningitis in
various parts of Texas, it would be wise to quarantine Guadalupe County
against eh world, until situation should be better settled.
Gaurds were placed at the depot and main roads leading into the county and people requested to remain on their own premises, awaiting developments. The majority cheerfully complied with the requirements, realizing that conditions which were made to protect others, would, if the situation were reversed, protect them. However, no new cases of the disease were reported in this part of the state and it was deemed advisable to raise the quarantine Tuesday afternoon; requiring those who enter the town to declare they had not been exposed to the disease.
