YELLOW FEVER AT HAMP
TON, VA.

Much alarm existed in Eliza,
abeth City this week caused by
the announcement that yellow
fever had appeared at the MAJ
tional Soldiers Home at Hamp>
ton, Va. There are thirty seven
cases of what is believed to be
genuine yellow fever and several
deaths from the disease have
been reported.
A strict quarantine is main
tanned by Newport News, Old
Point and Hampton against the
Soldiers Home, aud Norfolk and
Portsmouth against all points
mentioned. Besides all these
barriers set up between Norfolk
and the fever. The strictest
character of regulations and a
strong guard. night and day,..has
been put on by the officials at
the Home. The fever cases are
isolated and such stringent reg
ulations are in force that it will
be almost impossible for the
fever to spread.
The authorities of Elizabeth
City have placed themselves in
close communication with the
authorities at Norfolk and will
take every precaution that is
necessary to prevent the disease
from reaching our city and there
is no reason WHY our people
should become alarmed.
LATER-Reports received up
to the hour of going to press are
favorable and encouraging.
There is no spread of fever at
Hamp ton and no new cases
found; nor has any of the cases
in the Home proven fatal since
Tuesday.

The Sanle...
Old Sarsaparilla.
40

That's Ayers. The same old
sarsaparil1a as it was made and
sold by DR.. J. G. Aver so gears
ago. In the laboratory it is
different. There modern appli-
, ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa-
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record-5o years
of cures. Why don't we better
it? Well, we're much in the
condition of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, he
said, "Ged might have made
better berry. But doubtless,
also, He never did. :" Why
don't we better the sarsaparilla?
We can't. We are using tire
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. 1t
has not been bettered. And
since zoe make sarsapari1la CON-
, pound out of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way of improvement.
Of course, if we were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But were not.
We're making the same old sar-
sapari1la TO cure the same old
diseases. You can tell it's the
same old sarsaparillG be-
cause it works the same old
cures. It's the sovereign blood
purifier, and-it's Ayers.

a coloreG man was washing the floor
in an Augusta doctors office. the other
day. and he turned the faucet to allow
his pail to be filled. Then he walked
out into the hall to get something.
When there he met one of the colored
men in the Alabama Troubadours. and
they fell into conversation. the result
being that the Augusta darby forgot
the running water in the office. He
was brought to his senses by the APP
pearance of the man who occupies the
store beneath. who demanded the cause
of allowing that water to run down
upon him. The colored man surveyed
the ROOM and looked at the floor that
was threatening to become 50 covered
with water that the furniture would
float about. and then he casually re
marked We'll. the doctor has been
telling me I didn't put water enough
on the floor. but ! guess he can't kick

minstrel show and one with white men
who have their faces BACKED is under
discussion, with the arguments about
even. Some declare themselves decid-
edly in favor Of the white coon as a

may be good for change, but for the
real sport give him the old fashioned
minstrel show of white comedians. A

These are not very profitable days for
the accommodation team driver who
goes to the kennebec boat. The blow
ing of the boats whistle before she
reaches the wharf is the sign of a
general stampede of about every pub

street toward the wharf. Few of the
Boston boat passengers get aboard the
river boat to come to Augusta. but
leave the large boat at Gardiner and
come up by rail. Consequently there
is about one passengcr to 10 teams.
