have a bad effect on the health of the |
city. The deaths from cholera were five.
three black and two white. If the dry.
windy weather of yesterday will con-
tlnue few days it is believed that the
disease will disappear altogether.
LEBANON. TENN.
From the Lebanon Herald, 25th.I
When We went TO press last week we
hoped to be able to record in this issue
the entire disappearance of the cholera
from Lebanon. While this hope has not
been entirely realized, we are still able
to chronicle a marked improvement. |
Only four deaths have occurred from
cholera since our last issue. There are
about ten cases under treatment in the
city and the immediate vicinity, all ofl
which are doing very well, and none of
which, it is now thought, will prove
fatal. No new cases have been reported
for two days.

'om the Knoxville Press and Heraldl \,
From DIR. Frank A. Ramsey, vino ar ta
we'd in the city yesterday from Greene az
lie, where he has been several davs en- IN
,,ged lending his valuable assistance in Ms
l1evlng the sick, We learned that no cs
'aths occurred from Saturday night to W
e Time when he left there yesterday In
ornlng. There are, however, some fif- Ca
en- cases yet, some of which are doubt SO
|, though the greater part will proba- To-
y recover. He indOrses the popular
Ilei that the disease which has result
win such alarming fatality is wholly
TO local cause; the ac- vi
mutation of animal excrement and an
Ia IN the streets and yards. Since the Vi
'itaIlon OF the cholera has been so ar
lrlul, the citizens have laboriously at
eD at work to clean up the city, and w;
Us prevent its spread, and this fact, lei
ssetheI WIN the hope that those now se'
iicted will follow the advice and the ex
eseribed mode of treatment of the sn
yslcians, inspires the belief that the pc
'ease viii soon disappear. DR.. Ram ~
also informs us that only about two n'
ndred and fifty persons remain ia the tel
zee, and that families are leaving us
cry day. EX-PresiGent Johnson and IN
nlly left yesterday, for the country. WI
residence Of his son-in-law, Ex-Sen- III
'r Patterson. Each family is about lE
e to take care of its own sick and as
res, and cannot look after each others. ha
. Ramsey says that while no one is in hll
solute need of aid, yet there is a wide ca
ID for the display of christian love and lol
arity. Gu
