report issued by the sergeone general
of the marine hospital service
giving the returns up to the
.19th, there had then appeared
during the yellow fever epidemic
in the south a total of 4289 cases,
of which 446 had proved fatal.
Are we so much interested in the
Taylor brothers of Tennessee. Bob
and Alf, because they are brothers
and political foes, or is it because of
the formers winsome personality.
We heard a good story of them while
in Tennessee last summer. It may
be old but will risk it. Alf Taylor
who- go ftha M., rf thn tarn -a theIn 1886 the brothers ran for governor
of Tennessee, Alf a republican,
like the father; Bob, a democrat, as
his mother was. Of course, we all
know the outcome. Bob beat him,
just as he has in everything else in
life, but through it all they have
ever remained the closest friends.
When Bob was making a fortune,
it seemed, on the lecture
platform, he bethought himself of
that brother living upon a little farm,
burdened with debt and a large family.
He took him with him and gave
him half the proceeds, which were so
great that the elder brother would
often say to the younger, when they

anything mean or disreputable it
isn't necessary to tell it, for there
are always plenty of people who
will do that for you. It is the
good things about yourself and
neighborhood, that the newspaper
man wants you to give him.
