FALSE REPORTS ABoUT HICKMAN.
.Fscm time to time, reports come in 10
lhe eject that reports prevail in this or
that neighborhood that yellow fever is
at Hickman" aud 1t is said |
that some parties have been deferred from (
coming here on that account. Il little |
sbourht-a l;ttier uso of common sense I
ought 20 convince any sensible person OF
the entire faisity of sach reports. Does /
any sane man believe that the entire pop /
ula.ion Of Hickman would remain at their |
homes, Ell their usual sv0cations, if yellow /
fever existed here ? We say to the peo
pie In the country that the town would
be depopulated in a few hours after the
appearance Of tho first case and there
are now 30 many people here who kEot0
yellow foveF that thero is no danger of
being deceived. For instance-Hicsman, |
now, by reason Of low river freights, has |
the advantage OF interior points in the I
wheat market of from to - cents per
bushel, aud it is wrong to frighten farm
ers out OF this advantage. There is not /
now ease Of yellow fever reported any |
where in the United States, and there is I
no apprehension that it will break out in /
Hickman unless sjro9gtt here. If it should |
however, the people in tho country will /
know It by stampede which there will |
be no misiaking. Il is wrong to circu- /
late such reports falsely and the farmers
should be suspicious of such-ospecially I
when market OF spSh advantage is open
az Tl;ekaen.
