ALKS YELLOW FEVER. Mr. F. Reynolds of Nejr Orleans Passes Through. From Macon Telcgruab, 26th Inst. A man twenty-four days from New Orleans, and who had a severe case of yellow fever one month ago, was in Macon yesterday. He was Mr. R. F. Reynolds, division freight agentof the Illinois Central and Yazoo and Missis¬ sippi River railroad companies with headquarters in New Orleans. He is a brother-in-law of Messrs. Holmes and Frank Johnson of Macon, and is well-known here, where his family spends each summer. Mr. Reynolds brought his wife and children to Macon as usual in the middle of September this year and returned immediately to his office in New Orleans. When ho reached that city lie noticed that lie had a headache and fever, hut went a whole day without giving up. At supper time his physician was called in. A big dose of castor oil was ad¬ ministered and Mr. Reynolds was put to bed. The fever remained with him live days and was pronounced a very severe type, hut at no time was he frightened. After the fifth day the fever abated, hut the kidneys were slightley affected. This made the physician uneasy, hut the trouble passed away in a short time and Mr. Reynolds was kept in his bed until the morning of the eleventh day, when he got up and went hack to his work, re¬ joicing that lie had been through with tiie malady which has caused so many panics in the cities where it makes its appearance. Mr. Reynolds said to a Telegraph reporter last night that lie will not he likely to have the fever again, no matter how often lie is exposed to it as a person who lias a good case rarely lias another. In speaking of the con¬ ditions in Macon he said: “If a case of fever were to break in the same block where my family was located in Macon I would not he alarmed, because the climate is to cool here for the germs to propagate. They could live in the body which they had attacked in a warmer climate, even if brought to Macon hut they could not get from that body to an¬ other after reaching such a climate as you have in Macon. Our doctors in New Orleans say fever cannot spread very much in a climate where the temperature does not go above 70, and the germs will not spread at all where the thermometer runs below 70 de¬ grees. The germs attacks people just about like caterpillars do cotton. They clean up one field at a time usu¬ ally before going further, and if cold weather catches them they can’t go further. “No, I would not run if I had to face it again. The reason tiie coming of tiie fever cause such panics among tiie people is because when we know less about it we were inclined to be¬ lieve that a person could not get well of it. As a matter of fact, not 10 per cent of the patient die nowadays, I believe. New Orleans will not have another epidemic ill fifty years. We always have one or two cases brought in there each year year from the Central American countries, hut they are stamped out in slioit order, and our sanitary regulations are such that it will hardly be able to thrive in New Orleans again in a long time. “The only danger that void weather causes to a suffer from the fever is just as would be the case in measles; if the nurses dont understand how to regulate the ventilation of the room the patient is likely to catcli cold.” Mr. Reynolds went hack to New Orleans this morning. He left his family at Clinton, in Jones county, where he himself has spent a week. W. G. T. U^IOj^I. Mas. H. A. Thurston, Editress. From the Signal. Certain anti-prohibition papers have been circulating the statement that Mrs. Greener, the woman who, as a young bride induced her husband to change his vote in tiie Kansas legisla¬ ture, and thus secured to the State its prohibitory law, now expresses her re¬ gret at having done so, and in view of the failure of prohibition, would dis¬ own her relationship to that law. De¬ siring to learn what Mrs. Greener her¬ self had to say in the matter, the Union Signal sent to that lady a letter of inquiry concerning the authenticity of the report. Her reply was: 1 am the mother of prohibition in Kansas, and I assure yon am very proud of the fact, the liquor organs to the contrary, notwithstanding. Satan lias always been the father of lies, and his ser¬ vants up to date, are not one whit be¬ hind their master at. tiie business. I feel wonderfully honored to think that it was ever in my power to strike such a blow for temperance. Wooilluiat Items. Krorn Our Regular Correspondent. .1. II. Uoice is building a barn.

There of word tender meaning so is and full no jynd about which such holy recollections cluster as that of “ Mother ”—she who watched over our helpless infancy and guid¬ ed our first tottering step. Yet the life of every Expectant Moth¬ er is beset with danger and all ef¬ fort should be made to avoid it. Mother's so assists nature in the change tak¬ ing place that Friend the Expectant Mother is ena¬ bled to look for- ward without dread, suffering or gloomy fore¬ bodings, to the hour when she experiences the joy of Motherhood. Its use insures safety to the lives of both Mother and Child, and she is found stronger after than before confinement—in short, it “makes Childbirth natural and easy,” as so many have said.
