WITHIN 3 OF FROST.
Frost tonight is within So Of Bruins
wick If slight northwest wind now
blowing ceases before morning, a light
frost Will form.
The following official announcement
was made to-day: The board of health
hereby announces that it is authorized by
Surgeon Murray, marine hospital surgeon,
to tender the use of Camp Detention,
twenty-three miles from here, on the
Brunswick and Western railroad, to all
returning refugees until such time as
this board will deem proper to announce
officially that it is safe to return here.
Food and lodging will be provided
at the camp by the marine hospital
service and free transportation viii be
given from the camp to the city"
This action on the part of the govern
ment is believed to be the direct result of
Surgeon Murray's interest in the welfare
of Brunswickians now absent. He is
aware of the fact that hundreds of refu-
gees are scattered throughout the woods
and on islands totally unprotected from
the cold, and without proper food At
the camp he will provide accommodation
for 600 people, and give them fires and
meals free of charge, then bringing them
on to Brunswick when it is safe to re
turn. Brunswick appreciates the kindly
interest Surgeon Murray has in her peo-
PIE, anu blllS ldSJ dCJ Oh MS IS only one OF
a number of equally generous ones he has
done to help this city and her afflicted
population
Surgeon FACET left to-day for his home
in New Orleans, the epidemic being nea. "
over. Superintendent Murray will dis
tribute free at once 5000 pounds of soap
amongst the poorer classes to be used in
cleaning up old clothing and dirty places
These preparations for disinfecting Bruins
wick indicate the near end of distress
ing situation. Business is gradually pick
ing up; the people are being well cared
for; few are sick and feeling of general
good cheer prevails
FROST EXPECTED AT JEsUP.
Jesup, Ga, Nov. l5-There are no new
cases to report. The weather turned cold
this morning about o'clock with the
wind from the northwest, and tonight at
Z o'clock the mercury has fallen to 4jo, so
we can look for a heavy frost and possibly
freeze before morning. If such is the
case there can be no possible reason why
Jesup should not be relieved from quaran
tine at once, and it will be d great hard o.
ship to the thirty ing little town if she
should be kept in durance longer.
