The cold nights and
heavy frosts we have had
this week have been very
acceptable to the people
throughout the South;
as greatly reducing and
nearly exterminating the
yellow fever which has
been raging to a greater
or less extent in many of
the Southern towns and
cities. The rigid quarantine
has been raised and
business and traffic is
again rapidly assuming
normal conditions.
The territorial livestock
quarantine expired
at midnight last night,
and as a result it is estimated
50,000 head of
cattle waiting along the
line for a week will be
brought in from Texas
and the Indian Territory,
giving Oklahoma farmers
an immediate market for
their surplus of corn, hay
and fodder.
