GALA DAY AT BARREN FORK.

GALA DA n Dh Rn nIN TOhh'
By invitation, several of the citi-
Izen8 of your town participated in a
barbecue, given by Mt. Pleasant
lodge, l. O. O. F., on Thursday, the
l4th inst. We had an enjoyable
time. There were 70Opersons pres
cnt, and not a jar or disturbance
during the whole day. Milt Shaver
was the efficient marshal. The Wis
iting lodges assembled in the hall
with the home lodge, Bro. Silas Ru-
dolph, N. G., Thos. Williams, V. e..
A procession was formed, III which
the "daughters Of Rebecca" formed
an important part. They were not
as well posted in the tactics of the
march as their brothers, but the
good looking marshal soon had
them to "keep step" and act with
true military grace. The procession
was halted in front of the school
house, and the Hon. John Gardner
was the speaker published to deliv-
er an address, but be failing to make
his appearance, your correspondent
was "levied on" by a committee, and
made a talk, followed by DR.. Phil
, lips, Of this county, in a brief but
capital address, after which the null
tltude was invited to the tables
where areal feast was spread, There
was an abundance for all, and yet to
spare. The string band from La
Crosse gave us excellent music dur
ing the day. Prof. Bruun may feel
proud Of this fruit Of his labors.
The same day, after the festivities
were over, we held burial services
over the remains Of Miss Sadie,
daughter of Mr.. R. c. SheriIl. His
laughter died in the tiath. May
parents and friends prepare to meet
herin the glory land. We preached
At night, by request, in the village
chapel.
Rev. Mr.. Green seemed in good
4pirits during the day, but the next
fhorning a broader smile was upon
His countenance. Why? The family
physician had informed him that "alI
fwere doing well-two girls" Thus
| you see that "Dry Town" is improv
ling and adding to her numbers. We
enjoyed the hospitaities of Bros
NJ Shaver and J. J. Alexander.
We will ever be ready to accept
an invitation 20 visit Barren Fork
with such managers as guided the
affairs of last Thursday. E. A G.

YELLOW FEVER.
ITS INCREASE AT NEW ORLEANS AND PORT
EADs.

EADs.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 0.-Yellow fever
continues to spread, and is now well distri-
buted throughout the First and Second dis
tricts, with occasional cases in other quar-
tiers of the city. The board of health con-
tinue the use of carbolic acid as disinfec-
tant, but will try lime in few days, Mr.. ].
c. Clark, general manager of the Jackson
road, having presented ten carloads of
fresh burned lime. Arrangements are
also being perfected for irrigating
the city by flushing the cutters
with river water Hopes of health officers
checking the disease by carbolization seem
to be weakening. This city is generally
conceded to be in tithier condition than
for fifteen years, in fact since Gen. Butler
had it cleaned, The fever prevailing here
is Of mild type, and the board of health
decided to continue quarantine against YES
sels from infected ports the ground that
more malignant virus might be introduced.
The Bee, complaining Of the withdrawal
from publication by the board of health of
the yellow fever bulletin of new cases,
observes in regard to the death regis
ter; These reports relate only to NOR
tality caused by yellow fever, at least
they are given as such, although
including some very strange cases of death.
For example, deaths of children born here
and of creole parentage. We must
acknowledge that it is difficult for us to be-
lieve that these children douby Orleanaise
both by reason of their birth and race should
be victims Of yellow fever. Can it be that we
have some other malady prevalent among
us" Sister Loyola Lawler, native of Pitts
