Greenwood, Miss, Aug. 20.-Owine
to the reported openness of her quar-
antine and to regain her standing
among her sister cities, Greenwood to-
day battened down the matches and
placed an old time 1873 quarantine
against Greenville and Indianola
Judge Kimbrough and his family ar
rived in this city on the 9th from his
summer home, three miles from Mis-
sissippi City He had health certif-
Gates from the authorities duwn there
properly prepared. On the 18th, elev-
en- days after his arrival here, yellow
fever was announced at Mississippi
City. He had spent the intervening
days at his home here, and he and all
his family are and have been in per-
feet health. The danger period, five
days, had passed before any danger
was suspected, and when the fever was
announced at Mississippi City the
health authorities here very properly
failed to become excited.
Phe health conditions here are very
good, indeed, and all our citizens are
serene, requiring health certificates
from all persons who wish to enter the
city and strictly quarantining all in
fected points. All these facts set forth
by Greenwood health officer in con-
versation over the telephone with a
Greenville official before the latter
city took any action in the matter and
with all the lights before her.
