An Heroic Act.
encOurag'

The reople of this community owe Dr. Pendeton and Capt. ]. B John son debt of gratitude for their heroic elf-shcrifice in volunteering last Saturday to go to Warner to in
 vestigate the suspected yellow fever case and report on the same.s Those who realize the desperate chances taken by the two volunteers and the inconvenience, personal discomfort and financial loss that would have accrued to them had the suspected cuse proved to be genuine yellow fever, can appreciate the dlstiu- guished service performed for the community by Dr. Pendleton and Capt. Johnson. At the board of health meeting when these two gen tlemen were requested to make the perilous trip, Dr. Goree, Dr. Pen. dleton's professional partner, and others. vshemently opposed the mosion, pointing out tEe danger to life and the financial loss that would ensue to Dr. Pendleton in the event the case should develop to be yellow fever. yet all of these warnings were received with pleasant smile and Dr. Pendleton stood steadfast in bis determination to go and investigate the case, regardless of personal con sequences. A motion WAS then made to quarantine the volunte teers for a period of sixty days. but this also failed. Notwithstanding ths prospect of having to stay In quar-
 ntine and suffer the discomforts

thereof, in the event the case proved
 to be yellow jack, upon the assur- ance of the board of health that they would undertake to reimburse him for ell financial loss, Dr. Pen
 dleton remained steadfast in his de- termination to perform the danger ous but distinguished service.
 The movement proved to be quite the proper one Dr. Pendleton is an expert in the treatment Of swamp fever and Capt. Johnson an expert in nursing yellow fever. It was reasonably certain that any diag- nosis they would make would prove the correct one, aud thus tue people could be protected from the ravages of yellow jack, or their fears Quieted in the event the ease proved any thing else. The quick action of the board of health and the prompt ser vice of Dr. Pendleton aud Capt. Johnson at once qaieted what prom ised to be panic, and thus today the people of Pine Bluff are moving along as if nothing had happened.
 The Graphic believes in according pralse where it is earned and de- served, and in applauding heroic conduct and action. Dr. Pendletou and Capt. Johnson went where others feared to tread and proved themselves heroes of the proper sort. Let them be given the praise they 30 deservedly won.
