VALUE OF DISINFECTING.
Let Everybody Dislnfect. and Above
All Things, the Health Board
should Continue to
Disinfect.

EDIToRs APPEAL-The writer has several
times within the last few days heard tn
question asked, Why has dIsinfection been
discontinued? Are we not, IN our zeal to get
the INDECENT and helpless into camps OF
refuge, to some extent losing sight of the
value and importance of disin lection, as a
means of holding In check the dreaded
scourge. That much good has been accom-
plished by the free use OF lime, carbolic acid
and other disinfectants, is evidenced by the
great modification in the type of the disease.
The first eight or ten cases that occurred all
proved fatal within thirty-six to forty eight
hours after being taken. Our oldest and
wisest physicians were appalled, at the
fatality of the disease, and there
seemed to be but little or no cause
to hope for the recovery of any who were
smitten. The work of disinfection was begun
in earnest and pressed with great vigor by
our most excellent health officer, and we
have witnessed from day to day an increas-
ing tendency of the disease to yield to treat
ment Cannot this most gratifying fact be
ascribed with better reason to disinfection
than any other cause? If so, our efforts in
that direction should not for single moment
be relaxed, but should, if possible, be IN
creased with the growing urgencies of the
hour Let 1t move on hand in hand with the
stern work of depopuation until this invisible
and terrible enemy to human life is brought
under control by the twin agencies of starva-
ton and strangulation. If carbolic acid, sui
phur, pine tar and other powerful disinfectants
cannot be had in sufficient quantities, we
have an unfailing supply of lime; let it be
freely used. A CITIZEN.

Protest from the Mayor and Aldermen
The Meeting TO Establish Quaran-

Blame the small
Towns.

EDITORS APPEAL-ln your issue of the
twenty second instant appears communion
ton, and also what purports to be a protest
of citizens of Collierville against the quaran-
tine here. In the Epe,ling Ledger of the
day previous is an article signed ARGUS, -
and one in the AraLGnche, of the twenty-sec-
that nine-tenths of the citizens here oppose
1t. All of these articles do injustice to our
town and its officers. Please give US space
to reply. The first meeting of the mayor
and aldermen was held in connection with a
citizens meeting, which was well attended.
A very few of the citizens present thought
quarantine unnecessary. Adjourned 10 next
morning at ten o'clock; discussed the ques-
ton In all its bearings, and adjourned till
four o'clock In the afternoon, when a partial
quarantine was established, viz: No sick
person should stop here, and all freight
should be disinfected. 1t being the request
OF goodly number of citizens, the board
again met, some days after, and ordained
that no one should come here from places in
fected with yellow-fever. Quite number of
families from Memphis were here before any
quarantine was established, and these Mem
phians desired the quarantine to stand. The
Memphis papers taught the small towns
inhospitality when Memphis set the ex-
ample by rigid quarantine against Grenada
and all infected points. As close as we are
to Memphis, hundreds were likely to pour In
upon us, and we have acted only In self-de-
Tense. We have never prohibited the trains
from stopping here. They run through of
their own accord, stopping outside the cor

The First Bale of New Cotton sent to

Labor ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Fever.
From an Appeal Correspondent

From an Appeal Correspondent
INDIAN BAY, August 2l.-The first bale of
new cotton of this year crop was shipped from
this point to the Bluff City to day to Messrs.
Porter, Taylor & Co.. by the wide awake and
enterprislng firm of II. d l.. Silverman. The
cotton was raised by Captain Gordon Web
ster, near this place. Cotton Is opening
three weeks earlier this season than last, and,
according 10 the version of some of our best
and most reliable farmers, the crop will be
larger and better than for great many years
past. The area is as large as usual; the crop
will average from one to two-thlrds OF bale
per acre, and if the fall is late one the
yield will be larger and cotton pickers will be
in demand. Nearly four thousand bales Of
the heecy staple are shipped from this place
every season. two thirds of which are sent to
Memphis. Our system of labor is gradually
growing better, and there is less complaint
than in former years. The cry of hard times
has caused our people to economic, and
therefore the financial condition Of our coun-
try is growing frmer and better. Politics
are at a low ebb. The Nationals attempted
to get up an organization here IN this county
some time since, but it turned out to be a
desperate failure. The Radicals have had a
split In their camp, and it only remains for
the Democrats to rally their forces and gain
the victory. The people here deeply sympa-
thize with the inhabitants of Memphis in this
their hour of gloom, and pray that the angel
of health may soon hover over her borders,
and that she may soon regain her pristine
glory. Success to the Democratic party and
the grand oil APPEAL Is the wish of the PEG
pie and OF NEWS.

poration We like this. It advertises our
quarantine. As to the names signed to the
protest you published, only about dozen of
the thirty-nine are citizens who own property
or who have any influence in the town.
Some live in Mississippi, and others in the
country, IN Shelby county. Others are lot
of boys that would sign anything presented
to them. 4 counter petition was aligned by
a large number of the best citizens, asking US
20 perpetuate the quarantine. We believe
nine-tenths of the citizens here are for keep

here to Memphis, and a goodly amount to
Grenada. A concert is to be given here to
raise funds for the same purpose. Our be-
nevolent associations have offered donations
