who remained became indifferent to
events going on in the ont
side world and at the. end
of the long, weary struggle
with death, felt like they had grown
old. The limit of human endurance
often seemed but a step beyond, but
a higher power sustained some, while
others dropped by our side. Peace
and honor to their memory. They
were brave, true men, and the recol-
lection of their unselfsh and heroic
bearing in the shadow, and with the
certainty almost of death In their
faces, will ever be craven in our
hearts. Their examples of faithful
ness to duty and fortitude in the midst
Of great danger, will form a bright
page in the history of the recent awful
past. Long may their names be
honored among the good and great
dead of the land. At one time Mr..
Holland, the acting foreman, was left
almost alone, and but for his zeal and
courage, and those with him, the paper
must have stopped. We have hereto
fore paid a tribute to his memory.
With profound gratitude to divine
providence for their wonderful preser-
vation through the scenes of the past
three months, the survivors have re-
assembled and gone to work at their
respective posts, and will unite hereaf-
ter with all good citizens in measures
designed to avert another such vista
ton. Other battles are to be fought
and won and we should endeaver to
utilize aud concentrate the heroism
fortitude and excellent qualities devel.
oped during the plague in efforts tC
save and build up Memphis in the
future. The power of the press fol
good, when in conscientious hands
was never better illustrated thar
during the past three months, and VIZ
hope it will ever be so conducted as t
promote the general good and com
mand respect Such is our aim.
