pose, we have looked carefully into the
situation of everything connected with
yellow fever in Grenada, the epidemic,
considering the size Of the place, appears
to be the most malignant and fatal that
has ever been known in this country, and
this after only nine days. The fever Is
unabated and unchecked. The great want
b for nurses and money 10 pay them, for
there have been persons hero sick for
q long period without a single at.
tendant. At present the contributions
amount 10 not more than half OF what
seems to be necessary. The funds are Ger.
taiply managed bythe Relief Committee
with the most rigorous economy and wise
Judgment, and the men who handle them
are known 10 be business men Of the
southwest, as r guarantee for their faith

they are intended. We hope the liberal
and generous contributions made up TO
this time will not cease. The appeal to
the charitable has no equal inside the
