MEMPHIS Oct 21.-Another fine frost
yesterday morning and lighter one this

these are telling most miraculously upon
the health of the city, and the impetus
given all kinds of business preparations.
Visiting physicians andnurses are already
making their arrangements to leave for
their homes, and soon this grand hospital
will be converted into a business metropo-
lis, crowded and jammed with the eager
masses from the interior, anxious to replen-
ish their exhausted stocks of groceries and
merchandise, for which the trains and
steamers will be loaded to their utmost
capacities with cotton and other produce to
be given in exchange. Physicians are some
what anxious, for fear the rush will come
too soon, and that the eager desire to return
and resume business may cause a fresh out
break of the fever, which can only be
averted by a continuous spell of cold
weather. They admonish refugees not TO
return until authorized to do so by the
medical authorities.
The Relief Associations are making prepa-
rations to wind up business.
