In 1888 there was a quarantine to help control yellow fever. "The marshall was ordered to arrest any and all persons violating the ordinance barring trains from stopping inside the city limits or be arrested himself. Ten men were appointed with the instructions to shoot to kill if necessary." (source: History of Forrest County, p 98)
