cave Us altogether IL the inaax Of new
population does not give 1t fresh victims.
dessrs. Conlsy and Meacham, acting
inder the authority Of the Mayor, have
sccinated between 900 and 5000 per-
ons, with genuine matter, some few Of
whom have had vsriOlOid, in a mild form,

Nashville will take advantage of
