Surgeon John Guiteras, the eminent
expert, announces tonight that there are
no new or suspicious cases, and while one
or two more may develop in the next ten
days, the atmospheric conditions preclude
the possibility of an epidemic.
The people are leaving rapidly. To-
night twelve coaches full left over the
Brunswick and Western, and later the
East Tennessee went away jammed.
About 5000 people will leave, and this
alone will prevent the fever spreading
rapidly, if at all

Yelops and all danger is passed.

ribe to many.
