The Worlds Brave Representatives
From the Boston Herald.
Next to the doctors and the nurses down in
stricken Jacksonville, the newspaper correspondents
appear to be about the pluekest people the situation
is developing. couple of these correspondents
hnye lately telegraphed to their employers in the
north the addresses of their respective families in
case anything happens They show no signs OF
falterug but push right with their work, regard
less OF the dangers which surround them. One Of
these correspondents halls from Boston and reflects
credit on 1t.
