HICKMAN CLEAN And HEALTHY.

/ The yellow fever news, so alarming and
threatening this time last week, has en-
tirely subsidized. There were six cases, in
Memphis, and 3 deaths, but not new case
| since the morning of the 10th. The panic
which prevailed there last Thursday and
Friday has entirely passed, and large
numbers of the fleeing citizens have and
are returning to their homes. Some ply
sicians even doubt if there has been u
real, genuine case Of yellow fever in
Memphis this season. Be this as it may
all present danger has passed ouaran-
tines are being removed trade and gem
eral confidence restored. The daily special
Memphis dispatches, which the COURIER
has been receiving the past fe W days. now
scarcely attract any attention. Below
our Wednesday and Thursday specials are
printed.
We print, also, below, the report Of the
Hickman Board of Health. Our con lition
could not be more favorable at this sea-
son of the year, and never was so much
Sc in the previous history of the town.
Interviews with Hickman p hysiciaus and
druggists, warrant us in saying that there
is no sickness Of aly kind comparatively
speaking, in the town or vicinity
The CouRIEa, last week, published the
yellow fever news exactly as it was re-
eeived, and our readers may rely upon it
that ere shall do 50 in futme. The
COURIER, and the Hickman Board of
/ Health, will publish the c1oct Facts as
nearly rs can be ascertained in regard TO
yellow fever occurring anywhere, and
out readers may rely upon it; and ifihey
will, it win save much unnecessary un-
easiuess caused by false reports The
matter is too serious, too vital two AWFUL
ly important, and there can be no inter-

suppressina facts, and hence 40 facts viii
