With commendable brev.ty Mr.. Page
passes over the period of the war-that
period that was too tremendous to be maze
a mere fragment of any history time, as
it was, of the intensest stress in the MS
tory of the nation. With the chapter mead
ed "A Broken Soldier Comes Home From
War" the author takes up the true task
of the story-that of giving an accurate ac-
count of the internal workings oil new
order of things. With a deep purpose ana
a fair and unprejudiced pen, Mr.. Page has
thrown greater light upon the evils of the
arpet-bag governments which were forced
upon the unfortunate southern people than
almost any book that has yet been written.
OF course there is a love story or TWO. As
is usual in such stories, southern boy rails
in love with northern girl, and vice

that their rights had been trampled

Of railroads throughout the state,' is
now at it's height, and the chances are
good for it's continuance until the
frosts of November. The situat ton
practically shows no recent change.
The epidemic is still confined to the
counties of Lafayette and Kinds, which
are $50 miles apart. A few sporadic
cases have appeared in other counties,
but they were quickly isolated and
the disease stamped out. Up to the
present time 120 cases of genuine yell
low fever have appeared, from which
IS deaths have resulted, the death rate
being about six per cent. heavier than
during the epidemic of last year.
Every state in the south has estab-
lished rigid quarantine against all
portions of Mississippi, infected or
roninfected, and business is practical
]y at a standstill. Freight traffic is in
a great measure suspended and many
railroads have discontinued their train
service altogether: Every road in the
state is operating at a great loss. on

nearly every instance is shotgun af-
