The Fever I'm CHATTANOOGA.

We suppose there Is no longer any
doubt about the Yellow Fever being In
Chattanooga. For the past few days
the Chattanooga papers and rome of the
Physicians have been denying the re-
port, but dozens OF Chattanooga best
citizens confirm the report daily. Yes
terday and day before the trains pass
ing this place were crowded with peo-
pie refugecing from there. Several
families are stopping in this city, and
all confirm the report. just why these
Chattanooga editors and physicians
will deny II fact plain to every one, and
cause their own citizens to remain
there and die, and to cause their neigh
bOrs and strangers to walk into the
jaws of death, it is hard to tell. w
suppose their object is to get all the
money they can out Of the public before
they let the facts be known.
Whether or not ii il Yellow Fever it
makes no difference, Fit IS not Vel
low Fever it Is lis twin brother tha, is
killing the people so rapidly.
Our advice to every one is to stay
away from Chattanooga till the truth
can be ascertained. Ii must BE- rcmem-
bered tina. these same editors and ply
sicians denied Cholera being there till
half of the town had fled, aud they
could keep It a secret no longer.

MOmana devotion to Man.

From an exchange: Woman's devo-
ton 70 those that she loves has been
torcibly illustrated in Memphis. The
same spirit that governed her centuries
ago, when she was "last at the cross,
and first at the s%epulchre," actuates
her to-day. Always willing to sacri-
fee self for loved ones, she has braved
all the horrors Of the pestilence, and
many a poor woman sits beside Il desc

brow OF husband and child, and brave

deserted their clildlen, and children
their parents, husbands their wives,
but not one wife her husband.
