Fellows nurses, died and was buried
to-day. Our druggists are worked
down, and there is urgent need of pre-
scription clerks of experience and who
have had fever. Howard Heyman,
druggist, died to-day, and J. S. Robin
son, one of the principal druggists,
closed his establishment to-day and left
the city to get a rest. J. G. Armstrong,
photographer, died of the fever to-day
at Covington, Upton county, and two
other cases are reported there. The
fever continues to spread among the
negroes, whole families being prostra-

addition to the medical corps they will
henceforth receive better attention. In
front of the commissary depot of the
Citizens Relief committee to-day, fully
a thousand negroes assembled all day.
The committee is laboring hard to
meet the necessities of all, and good
