the board grappled with the disease
it began to decrease, until it disap-

of the labors of the board We're most

The labors of board of health are

with proper EcaSSiications, to decide
what is wholesome or unwhOleSOme
food, to search for local causes Of
disease, to determine whether
dwellings and their surroundings
are in sanitary condition or other
wise. These, Mr.. Mayor and gentle
men of the Council. are some of the
duties Of a board Of health.
All kinds of sanitary questions
should be discussed by the board in
as public a manner as possible, so
that while the board themselves are
constantly adding to their knowledge
and usefulness the general public
will be educated sanitarily, that
they may second the board in the
discharge Of its duties. Citizens liY-
ing in the neighborhood Of a soap
and candle factory, where fas are
rendered, wish to know whether the
nauseOuS smells are detrimental to |
health. This opens up at once the
question as what smells are, what
gases are, and when and under what |
circumstances they may be consid-
cred injurious!
1t is most earnestly desired that |
all buildings and grounds and sur
both public and private, |
should undergo rigid inspection |
by the health officers in every part |
of the city. 1t is not enough that |
my next door neigh Dor knows that |
all his surroundings are neat and
clean, and entirely free from any
deposit from which could exhale
deadly and nOXiOus vapors; but he
wishes to be assured that my
premises are in the same bealthful
condition.
If my home is in every way pleas
ant and free from every undesirable
or disease-making element, if there
are foul smell, and deadly odOrs
from my neighbours back

poisonous influence.
A universal and intelligent coop
GRAFTON of the.entire community to
guard against every inroad of dis
ease directed by energetic health
officers, would accomplish great
good from which we would see
grand benefits at once.
AS before remarked no individual
or portion of the community can
accomplish much, but a united
effort on the part Of all and these
efforts directed by intelligent sani-
tary officers, is unquestiOnably what
we need and before the hot weather
is upon US. Respectfully,

A TOUCHING SCENE.
A Little 10y Declines TO Prosecute
Another That Nearly Killed Him.

Some months ago a little boy named
George Newton was brought into the station
house on the charge of maliciously cutting
another boy named Harry Black. AT the
time it was thought that Harry would die,
but he rallied and is now fully recovered.
Yesterday the case was called in the Crimi-
nal Court, and both the boys were present
Harry Black, manly little fellow of twelve
or thirteen, told Judge Horrigan he would
like to speak to him for few minutes, and
receiving permission, said: 81 don't want to
see George sent to the penitentiary. know
he hurt me pretty bad, but Eve done
forgive him and / don't want to prosecute
him." 1t was a manly thing for the
little fellow to DO and it won for him
the sympathy of every person in the court
room. AS for George Newton, he was in
tears. Judge Horrigan called the latter up
before him aud told him that the boy he had
so severely cut had very generously declined
to prosecute him; if Black had died he
(Newman) would have been tried for MUIR
der, and it is possible that he would have
been sentenced to death. He cautioned him
to be very careful how he handled his knife
in the future. The boy cried and the case
was dismissed.

MEMPHIS COTTON
Takes the Grand Prize OF $1,000 Offered
at the Atlanta Exposition for the
Best Bale Of Cotton
Produced in the United States i'm 1851 Z,
as She Did at Every Exposition Held
in the World, Since 1851.

Messrs. J. r. Goodwin & Co. received yes
terday from Atlanta a check for S1100-
$1,000 premium for the best bale OF cotton
grown in the United States in the year 1881,
and 500 for the best bale produced in the
State of Mississippi from the crop of the
same year. This bale OF cotton was raised by
Mr.. Thomas Compton, planter living near
Batesville, Pamela county, Mississippi. The
bale was shipped from Bstesville by Messrs.
Watkins q Huston to J. r Goodwin & Co., of
this city, who sent it to Atlanta to the great
International Cotton Exposition TO compete
the grand sweepstake prize of $1,000, offered
by the Exposition as an inducement TO grow
ers to send the best cotton that could be pro-
duced to the Exposition. After careful
inspection by the best judges that could
be found at Atlanta, the two premiums az
above were awarded to Mr.. Compton's bale,
marked &c. r. T." We are proud of this, as
the trade OF Memphis extends far into our
sister State of Mississippi, and especially Pa
nOla county, whose almost matchless cotton
is as much part of the business of our city
as any county in Tennessee. Memphis cotton
has taken the first prizes at every inter
national exposition where it has contested
since 1851, thus demonstrating beyond ques-
ton that the country trading tributary to
Memphis produces the best cotton on the
globe. This fact is well known to spinners
who have been drawing their supply from
this point, but it should be told to the shiv-
erIDg nations, that all may feel assured that

uniformity OF grade no cotton market in the
world excels this

Temperance Hall for a small sum and still
intended to give it free, but late Saturday
evening she found there were not more than
two dozen seats in Temperance Hall and had
to go to great trouble and expense at that
late hour to procure seats. In consequence
she thought it right TO take the nominal
sum of ten cents admission to cover these K
penses. She has never yet asked Memphis
man or woman to contribute to this cause
for which she works, except, of course, her
own husband, and has spent hundreds Of dol
lars in its advocacy

GLAZING THE TREES.
Memphis Experiences "a Touch OF GeBu.
inc Winter Weather.

Yesterday was the kind of day a man
would like to sit in his room and look at
without feeling. Early in the morning
slight rain and sleeting set III, and it was not
long before the branches on the trees were
covered with ice, and from every bough
hung rows of iciclts. The park presented
the appearance of fairyland; the limbs
OF the trees formed a sort of glorious
fretwork, and there were arches OF crystal
line spleDdor. Every tree had lost its silhou-
cite appearance, and had become a thing of
picturesque purity. The romance of the
thing stopped, however, soon as one
looked down and beheld the muddy, sloppy
streets, ankle deep with slush; and it was
still more completely dissipated when one
received fall or two on the treacherous
streets. All day long the rain and sleet con-
tinued, and at midnight there was no let up.
The streets were very slippery, and were rap
idly freezing. The dangers from the rivers
is augmented by all this falling weather.

aging the affairs of the court. The new
president shows that he will administer the
various interests confided to him in vigor-
ous manner. For instance, several attorneys
Of the court have had way Of getting up
at any and ali times and blowing their

Yesterday one of them tried this game: and
hardly had Mr. Hadden taken his seat b. fore

sprang up and was beginning to make HIM
self conspicuous, when he was told to sit
down by the president, as the latter had
something to say. 1t resembled somewhat
the "Sit down, Smith" of 'Uncle Daniel in
the Messenger from Jdrris Section.
The new president then proceeded to give
his views. He announced briefly and de-
cidedly that he intended
TO ENFORCE THE LAWS
of the Taxing District. He would be oa
hand promptly every morning, and would
take up every case as soon as practicable.
He should temper Justice with mercy. There
were some ordinances that he did not think
were wise ones, but so long as they remained
in existence he should enforce them to the
teller. he uWelI especially upon the neces-
sity for good health in the city, and said he
wonld demand the most rigid compliance
with the sanitary laws.
NO MORE DRINKS FOR THE POLICE.
Mr. MADDEN has had the police notified
that no ioafers will be tolerated on the force;
the men must move around and not stand
on particular corners. He also announced
his intention of arraigniDg every policeman
that goes into bar-room except in the dis
charge of his duty as a guardian of the
peace. Any man who disregards the rules
will be tried by the commissioners, and if he
be found guilty of the charge against him
he will be promptly discharged from the
iorce. This is a good move, and will i'm
prove the personnel of the force considerably.
WILL THE SALOONS CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT?
The reference of the president to a rigid
execution OF the laws as they are will, of
course, bring up the question of closing the
Ialoons at II o'clock, and also that OF en-
orciDg the Sunday law. The barkeepers are
already beginning to speculate upon the
probable action of the commissioners.
President MADDEN will find himself backed
~ the best sentiment of the people in a just
xecution of the laws of the Taxing District.
