HOLLY SPRINGS, September q. lowing
TO the wires being down for the past two
DAYS YOU have heard nothing from this
death spot. / hardly know what to, tell
YOU. There Is so much to interest and
satisfy the deep anxiety our friends feel
who are outside. | know we have the
best OF friends in every part oforr country,
for daily reminders come in the shape OF
money, supplies and such messages OF sym
pathy as no people have received. Thank
them with our fearful thanks, for We feel
a gratitude words can not express.
Since my last. the death list contains the
names Of the best and noblest OF people,
whom We delighted to love and respect :
DR.. +. D. Manning, Of Austin, Texas;
Howard Falconer, J. W. Fenncl, Samuel
Brinkley, II. W. Walker, Miss Lizzie But
ler and Julia Stojowski OF these Dr.
Manning and Howard Falconer deserved
special mention. In honorins the bravest
and truest men, let the names of these
two stand with those who deserve the
highest testimonials OF admiration and
honor it is the privilege OF mankind to be-
stow.
These are no times for fulsome eulogies,
otherwise lengthy tributes might be given
to two OF the best OF those who have cross
ed the river to-day. Frank Walter and
his brother James, who had so faithfully
and efficiently filed their places, surren.
dered to the terrible monster. Hardly
had the news reached our ears before It
was announced that DR.. Sheldon, repre-
senting the Can't Getaway Club, OF Mo-
bile, who had charge OF the Hospital here,
was o victim. The physicians, with one
accord, give to the man the post OF honor,
as he has turned out more conyalescents
than any one OF them. Many bright and
shining light may go down in this great
struggle, but not one OF more brilliant
character than DR.. Sheldon. Like DR..
Manning, whose Heaven-lit blue eyes
seemed to reflect the depth and purity Of
great and good soul within, Sheldon
was mourned by US all. His GONZALES.
cents We number by the score, and they
all speak how tenderly the little Doctor

and it looks Us II every man must go down.
The Godlike Sisters, in their mission oi
