Merry Wants Information.

Capt. j. F. Merry, general immi-
grafton agent of the Illinois Central
system, has issued a circular request
ing all local agents of the company in
Mississippi and elsewhere in the south
to furnish him with the names of
planters, stockmen, horticulturists,
ETC., who have made a success in any
special line of farming, such as stock
raising, vegetable gardening, fruit Gull
ture, etc. Capt. Merry desires to thor
oughly familiarize himself with agri-
cultural conditions in the territory
touched by the Illinois Central lines
and after learning the names of farm
ers who have achieved notable success
he will correspond with them direct
for the purpose of ascertaining meth
DDS used in order that the information
may be made public generally. Capt.
Merry's work has been an important
factor in the upbuilding Of Mississip-
pi and inducing desirable immigration
to the state, and in his new field of
labor he will be given cordial coop
Grafton and assistance.

Not Until the 25th.

Secretary Will H. Woods, Of the
Mississippi Division of the Southern
Cotton Association, sent out a great
lnany circular letters a few days ago
requesting farmers and business men
over the state to report to him Au-
gust 25 the condition of the cotton
crop in their immediate vicinities
Answers to these circulars have al
ready begun to arrive at headquar-
ters here, and Secretary Woods says
he does not want them. He desires
the information to be authentic, and
asked that it be mailed out August %
His circular reads:
"That these reports may be uni
form We ask that on August 25 you
inspect your crop carefully, giving
us the condition and the approximate
yield in your immediate section as
compared with last year"
Just why some should have reptile
already Secretary Woods does not un-
derstand. All such advance reptile:
have been returned to the writers with
the request that they repeat on Aug
25. The idea of the Mississippi Divl-
simon is to get a report that will be
accurate.

OLD TIME QUARANTINE.

Greenwood, Miss, Aug. 20.-Owing
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 az
rived in this city on the 9th from his
summer home, three miles from Mis-
sissippi City. He had health certifi-
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.
The 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 a con-
versation over the telephone with 8
Greenville official before the latter
city took any action in the matter and
with all the lights before her.
