Opecldi lO ile
 Mon gomery, Nov. 6.-The board of health reported three new cases today, one of the new patients, John H. Dent, railroad engineer, living at 109 Goldth- wait street, having since died. The others are Isadore Miller, 1S south Court street, and Amos Davidson, colored, 49 Sayre street.
 Dent and Miller are both returned refugees. Miller went to Atlanta two weeks ago and returned last Wednesday. There has been no fever within a block of where he was stricken and he believes he brought the disease with him from an attack of malarial fever went to At lanta two weeks ago and returned last Monday. Prior to his leaving two mem- bers of his family are said to have had yellow fever, but they recovered. Dent was stricken a day or two after his re- turn here. The moral seems to be that persons who have refugeed had better remain away while longer. Most of the physicians give this advice.
 The weather is warm today, and frost appears to be long ways off, Business IS improving right along, however. and a large amount of cotton was brought in today.
 An Interesting Procedure
 Montgomery and It's fashionable sub- urb, Highland Park, one and a quarter nllies from Ncourt square, are quaran- tined against each other When the fe- yer developed in Montgomery it became evident that Highland Park would be converted in.o a hospital for refugees. Montgomery was, therefore, quarartined against, excepting during the hours of sunshine, even the citizens of the Park being required to be within the town Iim- iqs before nightfaM.
 Mayor CIisby, of Mone gcnery, and a number of other gentlemen and their fa'miFieis were invited by pr. Watkins, who operates a sanitarium at the Park. ito board with him, during the epidemic, and they consented to come on conditions Ghat same would be agreeable ito the town aurhoIf.ies. Dr. Watkins assured them he believed it would b. entirely so. The mayor went out, but being in formed that the authorities objected ito his presence, left. A few days ago a case of fever developed at the Park, and the following correspondence is the se- que1:
