THE FEVER SCARE,

There was considerable excite
ment on the streets here W ednes-
day morning when it was learned
that Drs. Thornhill and Smith had
announced q suspicious case of few
or in town. The case in question
was that Of Wilman Carroll, the
SYMPTOMS Of which were gwen to
DR.. w. j. Hunnicutt, the county
health officer, with request to send
for an "exspurt' which was done.
The State Board of Health was inns
mediately notified and DR.. 81. NJ =.
Folks of Biloxi was ordered to come
and Investigate the matter. He
arrived yesterday morning and at
ter thorough investigation pro-
nounced it malarial fever and re-
turned on q south bound train in
the afternoon. What was thought
by the physicians to be black voms
it proved to be the result of wine
which the patient drank, and there
was no other SYMPTOMS whatever OF
the yellow plague. We will state
for the benefit of those living out Of
town, that there is no yellow fever
in Poplarville and has not been.
With the exception Of a few cases
of malarial fever, all of which are
now convalescent, the town is in
a healthy condition, and no one
need be afraid to come on and dc
their trading.
