The yellow fever outlook is very cheering
and the continued favorable reports from
Memphis and New Orleans give reason to hope
that We will be spared from another visitation
of the dreaded scourge. But our authorities
and citizens generally should not, on this
account relax their efforts nor grow negligent
in the discharge OF their duties. Every pre-
caution should be taken, and taken immedi-
ately, to prevent the appearance of the
disease. Every one, authorities, citizens and
all, have duty to perform.
