THE LIFE OF A GUARD
Echoes From Moonlight Lake,

By The Weather Prophet, "JO-JO"
Oft in the rainy night, with the toad
frogs croaking around me,
Fond memory brings no delight, with
the stegomyia about me.
She sticks her bill, both here and
there. without any hesitation,
And makes you yellup. and stare, and
swear, devoid of Calculation.
Her back is striped, so they say, but
we cannot detect it,
For we are on the Quarantine, and
care not to inspect it.
We order her to halt, of course, like
any other critter,
For if she comes too near, you bet,
her sting is very bitter
The flowers that bloom in the spring,
tra-la, are absent on the lake,
And thought of dreamland. we some
times have, e'er,orove to be fake.
The life OF guard is sweet, we're
told-it also has its bitter,
With not girl for miles around to
cook, or turn a fritter.
Hence in this hour Of sad dispa,r,
what are the guards to do
Get in the straight and narrow path,
or the old lines still pursue
Perhaps to join Camp No. 6, where
the song goes So and H."
Wed soon forget Miss Stegomyia.
and think we'd gone to heaven.
And with S. c. Bull, the worthy chef,
and our Meggett that is to be,
They'll guard the portals of our town
and set our people free.
So under this banner let US fight
never say We are lost,
The lid will be lifted sometime, you
know, with the coming of the frost
Then battle on, ye noble guards. let
joyous praise resound,
And far beyond the space of ti:nc
you'll surely wear the crown
For the soldier boys and volunteers
are standing side by side,
Who'll ever be. for time to come dear
old Greenville's joy and pride

The yellow fever situation in New
Orleans brightr daily and hope is now
held out for an early eradication of
the dreaded disease. =.
That the authorities sr.5< barge are
masters of the situation there is no
doubt. The spread of the fever in
the city is also growing less and the
death rate is remarkably small
Outside of the city in the State Of
Louisiana the situation is much worse
and the fever will continue to spread
until the proper medical aid can be
sent to the different infected sections,
and the necessary sanitation to rid
the country of the mosquitoes is car
ried out
The breaking out of the fever again
at Lake Providence, La, increases
the danger of the fever spreading into
other places in Mississippi and AR
kansas, and the greatest diligence and
watchfulness should be exerted by all
guards on the river front to keep any
one crossing the river to come into
this State
The fever in Mississippi City is OF
a mild type and as yet no deaths have
been recorded from the fever.
The quarantine in this city still re-
mains tight md no doubt will remain
so until frost removes the fear of q
case of fever in our city.
