No serious sickness at Bainbridge

BAINBRIDGE, Oct. T.-Many eXtraya-
CANT reports about the sickness in our
little oak city, beside the Flint, have
spread along the railway to your city.
We have no yellow fever or any other
acute or serious type of fever. Many have
been sick-sOme are now down with fever
Others do not even take their beds, their
sickness is so light, The prevailing fever
now assumes a slight shade of dengue
fever. Most cases are up in three DAYS
at business again. The few deaths we
have had were caused by a combination
of diseases. There is no reason for any
one to fear coming to our city. Trade is
brisk. commerce by river and rail goes
forward, schools, churches and social
amusements are all moving on as of yOre.
If there is any sspanic," it is in the brain
of those more than forty miles away from
Bainbridge. The whole country, from the
lakes to the Gulf, have felt the touch OF
affection this present year.
