Yellow Fever at Edwards, Miss.

jackson. Miss, Sept. THE recent
or the yellow fever news from Ocean
Springs created mild sensation in this
city and many people have departed
northward. This feeling was intensified
by the fact that it was rumored that
there were seven cases Of yellow fever
near Edwards. small town thirty miles
west Of here, and that this was the
cause of the death there of Hon. Sid
champion. prominent member Of the
state legislature. The report from Ed
wards stated that a family of nine
persons had recently returned from an
outing at Ocean Springs, and after their
return seven of them We're stricken with
fever. Champion had visited the family
and two days afterwards was taken
similarly and died Sunday afternoon.
The news from the gulf coast serves to
recall to the people Of Jackson the STIR
ring times of 1878, when this CITY was
devastated by the yellow plague and
when for days a veritable reign Of ter
ror oppressed the city and vicinity.
During these times the shotgun played
prominent part and was found to be
by far the most persuasive means of
preventing the spread of the plague
