A marked Improvement is dis
cernibIe in the cleanliness of our
city since Mayor Powell issued
his proclamation requiring all per-
sons to thoroughly cleanse and
disinfect their premises. We are
glad to see this first step towards
protecting the lives OF our people
against the terrible tropical epidein-
ic. so readily responded to, and
while we do not think there is any
reason to be- alarmed about the
yellow fever reaching Canton, we
deem it wise and necessary i'll our
city au, ho,ities 10 use all due pres
against the introduc; ion
of the scourge in our midst. On
"Wednesday last. the second step
as important as he first-was taken,
by the passage of a rigid Quaran-
tina Ordinance. by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen. Although
the authorities are doing all in
their power TO prevent recurrence
in our city of the terrible days of
1866, their efforts can be only par
TALLY successful unless warmly
seconded by the citizens in general.
The Quarantine Ordinance may
appear at first glance a little harsh,
but when the lives of hundreds 4ee
at stake we do not think that any
law can be made too strict or the
penalties for its violation too severe.
As it is to the interest OF every
citizen to keep the yellow fever
away from here this summer, let all
mite in aiding and sustaining the
appointed to enforce the
and promptly report any
of its provisions at once to
the proper person.

Personal.

We were pleased to meet on our
streets, the Rev. Wallace Carnahau,
formerly pastor of Grace church in
place. aud who still holds a place in
the hearts of all--the church people
in Canton. We are pleased to note
his improved health, aud congratu-
late the citizens of Sequin, Texas.
upon the acquisition of such min
lister. We commend him to all as a
sincere and devoted christian.
On Monday morning last, 10Th
of July, our highly esteemed friend
Mr.. j. J. Gilman, lett our "celestial
city" in quest of health. He will
try the famous >Waukeeslia waters,
and, after resting awhile, proceed to
the cool and salubrious climate of
Minnesota to get the benefit of its
bracing air. May he improve speed
lily and come home sound aid well,
is the hearty wish of The CITIZEN.
Mr.. w. p. Britton, of the popular
firm of 3: itton s. Mayson. n. o.,
with his family, arrived in Canton
on Saturday last. Mr.. b. is looking
unusually well, aud reports his fam
lily in like condition. Their two little
children, who were said to be i'll OF
yellow fever, had only paI taken of
too much fruit and exposed them-
selves to the sun ON Sunday. There
is not a case OF yellow fever in Can
ton and none is anticiLat
MIR. j. b. Morey and family came
up from New Orleans on Monday,
and be, wife and daughter, are in
fine health. Mrs. Alex. Handy ar
rived here on the same train, and
there is no healthier or finer looking
lady in Canton. We mention these
arrivals because people in the coun.
try seem to dread coming to town
for fear of finding yellow fever here.
Since every precautien has been Ia
ken by our health officers, and we
have had such ref eshing rains, no
one need stay away.
