DOG DAYS AND RAIN.
It has long been a common saying
that if it rains on the first dog day
there will be rain ou every day of
that mouth, but Mr. Scott Tennant,
who is quite an observer of things
pertainiugto nature, has handed us a
record he kept of the weather during
the recent dog days as follows :
Rain, eleven days.
Fair, eighteen days.
Light rains—mere sprinkles, on
seven days and cloudy one day, but
no rain. Thus it will be seen that
the old saying referred to did not
work this time.

YELLOW FEVER.
A case of yellow fever pas-ed through
Jackson Wednesday morning en route to
Atlanta.
When the 4:50 passenger train rolled up
to our depot yesterday morning the con
ductor notified several parties to steer
clear of the rear coach, as there was a
case of yellow fever aboard.
While some parties were discussing the
matter at Cai micliael’s drug store, a cer
tain young man remarked: “Well, if
that be the case, I’m surely out of luck.”
“How’s that?” someone inquired.
“Well, you see, my gill went up on the
train this morning, and I guess she’ll
have to hang up at the quarantine station
ten days before 1 can go with her any
more.”
“Sweet to love, but, oh ! how bitter,”
To sigh, “I fear yellow fever’ll get ’er!”
