will oe OF interest: ''To the Associated
Press: Cairo, Sept. 6--5 p. M.-From per
sonal knowledge and inspection | am salts
fed there is no yellow fever in this city. /
am also Of the opinion if the pres
ent sanitary and quarantine precautions
are confirmed for ten or fifteen days longer
there will be none. At least none will arise
from any Infection that may accidentally be
brought here. From a careful examination
of the death record in the office Of the coun-
ty clerk, feel warranted in saying that the
general health of Cairo is good, and from re-
liable sources | learn it never was better at
this time OF year. For several days there
has been some excitement and uneasiness
owing mainly to the prevalence of yellow
fever at Hickman, KY, but I am satisfied
that there IS less DANCER than there has been
Tor the last month.
