The Deaf and Dumb Institute Chs
terms.


JACKSON, Miss, April l6, 1884.
To the Board Of Trustees Of the Institution fOl
the Deaf and Dumb;
GEETLEMEN: We would respectfully re.
port that we have visited and made care
full inspection of the Institution under your
control. The cellars were found to be in a
damp and unsanitary condition and, in our
opinion, should be properly drained. II
az strongly suspected that the water used
for drinking and culinary purposes was
impure and that it was, perhaps, an i'm
portant factor in the production of the con-
tinued form of fever which has prevailed
in the Institution. A gallon of the water
from each of the three cisterns on the
premises was aent to Prof John A. Myers,
Professor OF Chemistry, A and NJ College,
who has kindly furnished US the accom-
panying analysis. The cisterns Nos. | and
2, it will be seen, are sufficiently impure
to produce disease and that No. 3 Is also
impure bnt not to the same gree as the
others.
We would suggest that the eisterns be
pumped out, cleaned and repaired, when,
with proper filtration, fresh and pure
supply of water could be obtained.
Very respectfully,
Writ JOHNSTON,
ROBERT KELLs.
Memb's Ex. Com, State Bl. of Health.
The analysis by Prof Myers, under the
microscope, showed the Taylor-lot cistern,
No. l, to contain much living animal and
vegetable matter, and the No. 2 cistern,
under the house to be swarming with liv-
ing animal and vegetable life, and both
therefore unfit for use. The elaborate and
learned ANALYSIS OF DIR. Phares is corrobor-
alive oil same

housa.
1t is prohibition town, aid this BY the

Again and again, when occasion has re.

A NEW FIRM, BUT AN OLD
HOUSE.

Mes>rs. Quinn N Gray. successors to the
awake and thorough business men of the
modern type. The new firm comes to us
highly recommended, backed up by capital,
experience and energy. which are enyiable
weapons in any business. We predict for
the new firm Il bright and prosperous fu-
ture. The firm is composed of Mr.. j. p.
Quinn and Mr.. Frank Z. Gray. Mr.. Quinn
is so well known in our midst that it is un-
necessary for Us to attempt to introduce
him to our readers, as he was the first and
senior partner of the late firm of Quinn
Bros, and up to a couple of years ago was
the chief manager of that concern, and has
always met with success. No better buyer
ever left Arkansas for the eastern markets,
where he has now gone to purchase a
$40, 200 stock for the spring trade, and in
order to make room for the new stock they
are selling of the bankrupt stock without
regard to cost. There advertisement will
appear in our next issue.
MIR. Gray. the Junior partner Of the new
firm though young, is a thorough business
man of pleasant address. and is well vcrsed
in the wants of the people. Always willing
and ready to serve and treat customers po-
liteiyf Our advice is to all who want cheap
bargains to consul their own interests and
give them an early call. whether they wish
to buy or only examine the stock. They
have a full corp OF very polite and obliging
clerks, who will be pleased to see their old
friends at No. 122 Main ST., Little Rock.
