Mention has been made frequently in
this department of the fact that there

fatten and then forwarded to Chicago
to be slaughtered. w. Is. Dodson, OF
Baton Rouge. La. in a recent letter 70
Cant. Merry, of the Illinois Central
railroad, produces evidence to back
up this assertion. \ car Of steers
bought in Illinois were shipped to Ba-
ton Rouge, fed and fattened and then
shipped to Chicago, where they topped
the market for that week, AT no place
In the world can beef cattle be fattened

sippi is prosperous despite the little
decentralization OF business experienced
during the past two months. Experts
have predicted that this was the last
visitation of the mosquito fever that we
would have 10 combat, and let us hope
that they are correct. Every commit
nifty in the State should commence in
May Of next year and get into perfect
condition as to cleanliness. kill the mos
quitocs, and forget that there ever eX-
listed such a thing as yellow fever.
While this fever Is claimed not to be d
filth disease, yet cleaning up will be
worth a great deal a. preventative OF
other diseases if this diagnosis as to
yellow fever is right. Get clean and

One thousand people died in New Or

over ten thousand in New York last
winter from la grippe. Still there was
no panic. decentralization of business or
shotgun quarantine. 1t is high time
that a stop was put to the panic that
follows the announcement of case of
fever in the South. The ghost of 1878
should be relegated to the closet and
