QUARANTINE CAUSES
DELAY OF SERVICES

The notice published last week
from DR.. Jones, county health Of
ficer, ordering that the superin-
tendent of education discontinue
all public schools, and that there
be cessation of public gather
ings of every kind, has caused the
postponement of two meetings
at least. Protracted services
were to have been beld al Lewis.
burg by the Methodist people this
week but wereput off for the above
named reason. The county Sun
day school association, scheduled
to meet at Eudora Aug. 31st. has
been postponed indefinitely.
Superintendent Morgan has dis
continued the public schools.

The following notice to Confed.
crates has been issued by Con
gresham Spight:
On account of Yellow Fever
situation, it is hereby ordered
that the Re Union of Walthall's S
Mississippi Brigade, which was
to be held at Oxford, Miss, on
August 31st 1905, is indendltely

HEALTH OFFICER
MAKES STATEMENT.

AS there seems to be some diff.
fculty of a clear comprehension
of Dr.. Jones order relative to
public gatherings, he presents
this explanatory note:
''It is not my desire or inten.
tion to deprive our citizens of any
harmless local social gatherings,
but simply to interdict any and
all gatherings that might be
fraught with any element of dan.
ger OF introducing or propagatlng
that bosom of destruction, vel
low fever, in our county. While
l have to make the order general
in character, and cannot discrim.
mate, | leave the tpye of gather.
ing that would or would not be
attended with danger to the
common sense and good judgment
OF the respective local health
boards-remembering that it has
been demonstrated that yellow
fever can propagate itself in a. 78
degree Farenheit atmosphere,
and that even a mosquito can fly
many miles in pursuit Of fresh
food In TO Gays time. The insid-
ious enemy always takes advan
tage of the sentinel "off guard"
from long and weary watches.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, and we must not allow
ourselves to be deceived by ap-
appearances"
T. M. JONES,
County Health Officer.
Times-promoter. (Hernando, DeSoto County, Miss.) 1898-1970, 1905-08-25
