sick. Total deaths. Il; total cases to GATE

Relief has been going forward freely from
Jackson, Terry and Crystal Springs 70 pFy
Grove. Provisions, medicines and liquors
have been sent from here, and 300 lbs of ice
| is being shipped daily to Terry. As TO
sending men via Terry, we suppose it would
be as difficult to send them from YieksbHrg,
New Orleans, or Jackson now, as it would
be to send them ria Raymond, on account
of local quarantine regulations. They don't
| want men at Terry from infected points; ;
but we have no doubt that Terry and Crystal
Springs will provide for Dry Grove the kind
of help wanted.

EDITORS CLARION: 1t seems now as if
the fever would only stop with the last per-
son here. Our physicians are down. With
the exception of myself, there has been no
recovery thus far, and my physician has
also ordered me peremptorily back TO my
| room
There are three distinct and we'll marked
tvpes of disease here. viz: Marsh fever,
putrid fever, and old fashioned yellow fever.
| The latter is the mildest, and we have hope
| that ths cases will ultimately recover. But
we must have help. We even need vehicles
every thing being broken down. Send us
TOP buggy andshorse, if il cost a thousand
dollars. Send it down by land by Mr..
| Carraway's. Help us.
