OUR WORKING FORcE,

The LEDGER force is greatly re-
duced, yet by hard work we man
age to get out a readable halfsheet,
devoted mainly, Of course, to yellow
fever in our midst, Mr.. E. Whit
more attends to all the duties Of the
business Office, assisted by a colored
boy, who goes to the postofiice and
runs other errands. Mr.. ]. Harvey
Mathes, with one assistant, who
gathers local news, performs all the
duties Of editor and reporter. In
the composing-room the foreman,
Mr.. T. p. Holland, who sets type
and reads proof by turns, has two
regular compositors, Mr. Il. P.
Kavanangh and Mr.. L. S. Reheau,
and an apprentice, Charley Fergu-
son. The press-room is run by one
pressman, one feed boy and one en-
gineeE Our job office is occupied
bya young man, Ed Holland, who
has just recovered from the yellow
fever. He sets up what matter he
can, though without filling all orders
received, and it is worked off in the
press-room. This constitutes a
force, all told, Of thirteen per
sons, or about one.third Of the
usual effective force. Our brethren
of the press, who understand
what is necessary to run a success
full newspaper and job office, viii
appreciate the difficulties under
which we labor But we are happ,
to say that those on duty work
cheerfully and effectively, and al
keep we'll and in excellent spirits
While there ia no profit in running
anewspaper now, and no money col
Iected except across the counter o
by mail for papers, we feel that it j
a duty to stand at our post, to keeI
the public advised of what is dali
and hourly taking place, and t.
offer such words of encouragement
and suggestions Of practical valu
asmay be in our power. Of tn
five printers who were on duty wit
us in 1878 only one remaiOs--th
