does not mean, however, the cessation
of indiscriminate sparring matches in

Notwithstanding the fact that the
business for the Memphis postoffice was
greatly interfered with during the last
week of October by the fever scare and
the quarantine regulations, the sales of
stamps from the window showed large

the fever scare the increase would nm
questionably have been much larger,

It, but otherwise he made no answer

have an interest for people outside of

cards the larger cities. The figures

the largest increase in population in

census. Its population Is given as
1,el9,22s in 1896. as compared with
