arch enemy is almost in our midst. We have

ing been contracted at Grenada. We have
no local case here as yet. Our citizens are
very much alarmed. Forty families have left
for country quarters, and the town presents
deserted appearance. Our heartfelt sympa-
thies are with the grief-stricken and dis
tressed people of this country. Over one hun
dred dollars aud one experienced nurse have
been forwarded from our town to the Grenada

Special to the Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, MISS, August 22.-We
have two cases of Grenada fever among the
Grenada refugees here's. L. Downs and J.
X. Martin. Our physicians agree that it is
not yellow-fever,I but congestive malarial
fever. These cases have yielded to treatment
Hons. Howard Falconer and f. G. Walter,
two worthy members of the bar of this place,
are voluntarily nursing these cases.
Harry Levy, arriving here from Memphis
to-day, has yellow-fever.
The United States commissary- general has
ordered the commandant of the United States
sufferers three thousand rations, which go
| down tomorrow. The relief committee of
| this city sent large shipment of supplies to
the Grenada people to-day, and are sending
daily.
Private advices from Grenada this after
noon report sixty new cases, mostly negroes.
| The burial corps has dIsbanded, forcing those
who are well TO bury the dead IN the nearest
| soil. The only hope for Grenada Is for a corps
OF men to go there and remove the pOpula-
ton, sick and all, TO the hills south of the
| town, and put them In tents. Many from
this place would volunteer In the service.
Helpless Grenada
Special to the Appeal
GRENADA, August 22.-There has been nc
abatement in the yellow-fever here since the
ninth instant. 1t still RACES with fearful ia

nursed and attended. The people are still
penic-stricken. This being the first appear
ance of the disease in Grenada, they have
no knowledge of its proper treatment
| except what they have learned within tn,
| past two weeks. We have about fifty nurse:
/ from Memphis and New Orleans, who under
stand the disease. Three prominent citizens
| in the absence of all official authority, have
| undertaken to direct and manage all acts
| looking to the resistance of the disease
| Their labors are active, earnest and I'M
| tagging, but the obstacles in the way are
| too great 10 render their efforts salts
