1t was a Northern paper which
said that the yellow fever In the
South was about 10 per cent yell
low lack and 90 per cent fright
and THE PROGRESS adds. me too.
Ten thousand dollars in money
and about sfOo, 900 loss OF business
was a right costly yellow fever
scare for Shreveport. And about
S9C, 600 of the latter was entirely
unnecessary, too.
Hon. T. j. Guice OF Grand Cane
