APPEAL FROM GRENADA,

MEMPHIS, Aug. 2O.-Ihe following has been
received by the Howard association OF Mem
phis Grenada, Miss. Aug. 19.-As your
representatives sent here for the purpose, we
have looked carefully into the situation of
everything connected with the yellow fever in
Grenada The epidemic, considering the size
of the town, appears to be the most malignant
and fatal that has ever been known in the |
country, and this after only nine days. The
fever is unabated and unchecked. The great |
want is of nurses and money to pay them,
for there have been persons here |
sick for long period without single attend |
ant. At present the contributions amount to
not more than half what seems to be necessary.
The funds are managed by the relief commit
tee with vigorous economy and wise judgment
and the men who handle them are known to
| the business men of the South-the best ascer-
tanned guarantee for their faithful application
to the purposes for which they are intended.
| We hope the liberal and generous contribn-
| tions made up to this time will not cease. The
appeal to the charitable has equal in the
| sad HISTORY of this disease. (Signed), VIM. j.
Smith and Butler P. Anderson, of the Memphis
Howard association"
| The Howard association of Memphis endorses
| the appeal of their associate members now
| on DUTY at Grenada. Messrs. Smith and Ander-
| son. who have labored among the sick there for
nine days past, are fully posted as to the exact

worthy of public confidence. lSlgned. D.
