Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1873-07-01

GREENVILLE. TENN.


No one who is not here to see and feel
the influence of the scene of suffering
and its csmmingled horrors can have an
idea Of our condition. Over seventy
families have left the place, and but
handful remain of those who are able
to go. That portion of our population,
the poor and the negroes, who had no
means to go upon and no place to 90 to,
make up our entire population, almost,
at present. The suffering is intense
among them. They want bread and
meat almost Is urgently as they do
medicines and treatment. Colonel
Mckee, George Jones, w. 2. and
J. c. Hankins, with two or three Others,
have done all that christian and char
liable men could do; buying medicines,
provisions and hiring help. But they
are unable to supply ali. And it does
seem strange to US, who are left with
these suffering human beings, and un-
able to help them, how our neighbOrs,
who can sympathiZe so generously and
contribute so literally to the healthy
victims of the "BOstOn fire,n can also
pass callously by and offer nothing to
the afflicted and dying of their own
State and section.-C Correspondence

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.
The total number of deaths on the
twenty was eight-three of which
were from cholera. Those who flew to
the mountains of Hepsidam are coming
back and swear they have been fishing.
KNOXVILLE, TENN.
We have heard that some of the scared
citizens who left home last Wednesday
in great haste, after the death of one of
our citizens from cholera-morbas, car
ried with them very exaggerated news
of the health of the city. People came
into the city yesterday with reluctance,
relying upon the false stories of death
and desOlatiOn spread abroad through
the country. When they found out that
not single case had been heard of but
the fatal one referred to, and that every
body here was easy and tranquil, they
laughed at their fears. Business was as
brisk as usual, and the city as full of
strangers as on ordinary days.-RI1OT-

SHELBYVILLE, TENN.
The Shelbyville Commercial reports
the deaths from cholera in that place
for the week ending Thursday evening
last at nineteen. Among the number
was Hon. James Mullins, revenue-cOl-
lector for the fourth district, and form
erly representative in congress.
FOUNTAIN HEAD, TENN.
A correspondent at Fountain Head,
Sumner county, under date of the
twenty-siXth instant, writes the Nash
vile Union and american as follows:
" The cases reported yesterday are inn
proving. We have had one death.
Ridda Dinning (colored) was attacked
yesterday evening, and died this morn
ing. DR.. w. P. Moore, of this locality,
reports three other cases, two doing well
and the third of more malignant type,
and likely to prove fatal"
WHITE BLUFF, TENN.
The following is letter addressed to
the Nashville Union and AmeTjcdn
from White Bluff, under date of the
twenty-rirth instant: ave have had
some cholera here and big scare; that
is, cholera mania, but all is quiet now.
Health is returning, and we hope the
hegira will return. There were two
deaths from cholera last week, and a
number of mild cases of cholera-mOrbus,
but there have been no new cases for
three days, and all the sick are conva-
lescing very fast. There is no local cause
for the disease here; every case that we
have had is traceable to imprudence on
the part of the patients. The White
Bluff hotel proposes 10 accommodate all
in search Of health, whether they be sick
or well.n
NO CHOLERA AT LITTLE ROCK.
Although the cholera proper may not
have reached us, still the disease which
has been raging in Memphis, Nashville
and q few other southern points is suffi-
GENTLY dangerous and epidemic to sug-
gest to every one the propriety of taking
every precautionary measure possible
against its increase. We would urge
upon the people that they clean up their
premises, use disinfeetants, and be care
ful of their diet during the present heat
ed spell, and to keep it up during the
entire summer.-Reptt5Iicctn.
