In Strasburg Shenandoah county a bitter feud erupts after The Strasburg News assaults The Evening Star over smallpox coverage. The Star rebuts, notes a bona fide letter from an infected district resident, and questions the News’s motives and dating of its claims.
The Star defends Strasburg’s commercial life and growth in the Valley, rejecting a rival paper’s attacks. It asserts it must publish news, including a smallpox outbreak in a neighboring county, despite critics.
The Star asks contributors to write on one side of the paper only to speed publication and avoid division among compositors.
