Caroline Emma, only daughter of
James and Caroline Bell, of Oakland,
departed this life, Friday morning,
April 23d, 1880, in the Goth year of
her age.
Deceased has been consistent
member of the M. e. Church for
about eight years, and her death was
a triumphant exhibition of christian
faith. On the day before her death,
when asked by her minister if she
had any doubts or fears as to her fu-
ture she promptly replied that she
had none. Though naturally timid
she met the last foe with that forti-
tude which characterizes heart re
deemed and strengthened by divine
grace. Appropriate services We're
held in the M. E. Church Sunday
morning conducted by Rev. SAM

Davis, and the remains were taken
to their last resting place, in the Odd
Fellows cemetery, followed by a
very large c0ncourse of relatives and
friends.

Scarlet Fever.

EDITOR LEDGER.-The virus mat
ter VI scarlet fever is very contagious
and adheres to all fabrics, hair, walls,
aud floors Of rooms, ETC., and has been
known to remain in them eighteen
mouths, aud even two years. 1t is
destroyed by heat, but by no degree Of
cold. Airing the house or clothing is
Of no avail. Only high tcmpera-
ture, strong sulphur or chlorine fumi-
gstioDs will destroy the poison. The
disease may appear in ono, two or
three days, or may lie dormant in the
system for several weeks. Scarlet fe.
yer can only be prevented from spread
ing by isolation, aud to make it efis
ciont, it must be complete. Families
must bear in mind that the poison of
this disease is as contagious as that Of
smallpox, and that it adheres to ev-
aTything in the room, not only to
clothing, but to food and dishes. The
ni;ldes. case can communicate the
poison as well as the most severe.
Persons should avoid a scarlet fever
house as they would one with small,
pvx or yellow fever. While no one
should outer the house, no one should
leave Il il possible, Orc who has
bccu exposed to the fever poison, has

ABOUT three hundred members of
the Masonic fraternity met at the new
temple, on Madison street, last night,
to witness the comforting of the third
degree on Brother Heber Jones, who
enjoys the distinction of being the
only Mason in Memphis whose degree
was announced beforehand in the
pNess. The eOmmodious and ele-
gaiNt hall was well filled
and all were comfortably seated.
There was still room for ample work
in the Master Masons degree. 1t is
Unnecessary to say that this was con
ferred with an impressiyenesS that
will never be forgotten by those pres
ent. The brethren were greatly
pleased with the appearance of the
new hall, and encouraged by the ap-
parent strength and vitality of the
order in Memphis, The reunion will
have the effect to stimulate laggards,
and to reassure those who have
always been active workers in
the great bee hive of Masonry
