heart to refuse to return.

"A colored woman became insulted, yes
terday, because an item Of the ATOMS
awarded her at the commissary depot was, as
she termed it, NASTY, ole, greasy bacon.
She said: "Dey'se got some nice streak O.
lean and streak O. fat. dar, but dey gi me dat
ole stuff, fat enough to kill hog" Captain
Maccabe would like for some one versed In
the art of catering to the appetite to give him
some instructions so that there shall be no
grumbling.
"A citizen coming into the city on Poplar
street yesterday was nearly sickened by
nauseating stencil proceeding from building
near the bayou bridge west of the market
house. He went into the building from
which the stencil proceeded, and bursting in
the door of a room, he discovered the dead
body of its occupant lying on the bed, In
decomposed condition, where it had evidently
been laying for four or five days. 1t was the
body of barber, who formerly occupied the
lower floor as barber-shop. His name could
not be learned.
The commissary depot of the citizens re-
lief committee, in charge of Captain ]. G.
Maccabe, assisted by Messrs. n. Dewar and
and Joe Boyd, is conducted under the strict
est business rules, every employe knowing
and doing his duty with the most rigid mill
tary precision. 1t is thus that so many are
supplied without confusion, no complaints
having as yet been made as to lack of atten-
tion. We were shown the system OF book
keeping adopted yesterday, whereby every
item received and dispensed can be seen at
glance, and it is impossible to make mistakes.
We guarantee that the reports from this de-
partment will be correct and without fault.
The attention of subscribers Is directed
to the business notices at the head of these
We have few thousand charges
On our books against absentees whom we know
10 be able to pay, and we want the money, in
stead of eplstles saying 1--WE will pay when
we get home" 1t has become fashionable
among many wealthy people to tell the car
-iers to 'come again" for the trifiing sums
lue them. The carriers will stop leaving
papers to such subscribers. Others endeavor
% compel the carriers to take Mexican dollars
or one hundred cents. To this class of dead
beats we say: Pay the carriers the fifteen
ents per week, and, If you must swindle
somebody, come to the office and beat US out
# paper occasionally. Many people try
mean little tricks on carriers who would be
Lshamed to act in such manner among
business men.
The Ledger, of yesterday afternoon, con-
aims the following, which places the ply |
ician IN charge of Camp Joe Williams, DR..
PAUL Otey, in a very unenViable position, at |
he same time reflects great credit upon DIR. |
Jall, who has given all his time and devoted |
very energy toward alternating suffering, |
nd especially toward organizing that camp: |
Half a mile this side of Camp Joe Williams |
party of refugees from North Memphis, |
of four men, three women, and |
overall small children, sought and obtained |
nelter In negro shanty. A party of gen
egged to send a doctor for one of the women |
mo was very sick with the fever. They |
ode to camp and reported the case to the |
MUSICIAN in charge. 1t was raining at the |
me, and he knowing the value Of a good |
MUSICIAN in these times, shrugged his shout
ers, said it was out OF his jurisdiction, and |
rent back into his marque. Dr. Nall, one of |
part of the conversation, aud al
nough quite worn out, promptly volunteered
is services and went to see the suffering |
yoman. She already had black vomit, and
BON after died. Her name was Lizzie |
Vhalen, residence corner of Concord and
ront streets. These are facts; comment is
necessary.
