The following preamble and resolu-
lions were adopted at a meeting Of
the Richmond Academy OF Medicine
and Surgery held on December IL:
Whereas. after many longings for

Johnston. we now learn with profound
sorrow that death has called him from
his la ors In the midst of a inguIar1y
useful career: and
Whereas. in the death Of DR.. John

feline and Surgery has sustained the
loss of q brilliant and distinguished
member and former president, one whs
personality difficult to portray. with
amazing strength assiduousiy cult
waited. with fearless determination,
strengthened by opposition; with 10y
atty to friends which recognised no
limitations; with ideals and princt-
Piles that were direct, strong and al
ways honorable; with methods that
rarely failed because OF the clear Wis
ion and ripe judgment that inspired
them. and In his loss . glorious az
ample to the profession OF the South

the more emphasized why this home
coming should be one of the greatest
warmth. where cheers shall ring. bands
shall play. where entertainments will
be held for all. and that the boys can
be made to feel that every one of vir-
ginia's population have an interest in
them, and recognize the sacrifice they
have made for their country.
Have Made Fine Record.
Virginia troops have exceiled in all
of the duties to which they have been
called while on the border. In all
important tasks they have been as
signed, and they have served for all
purposes. This show OF confidence in
them was brought about by the su-
perior service they rendered to their
commanding officer. to their military
aptness, and to the general efficiency
and worth OF the organization. Offi-
GERS on the border havo on more than
one occasion complimented the vir-
einia troops on their work. and the
War Department Is well supplied with
information tending to show the abil-
ity of the Virginia troops.
For the good they have done their
country while on the border. the glory
they have brought to their native
State, and the men they have proven
should have genuine Virginia well
come. Special excursions will bring
their families and friends to the city
in large numbers. and the whole OF
Richmond will turn out to cheer the
returning soldiers. Rounds OF enter
tainment will be given the men. and
when they return to civil life 1t will
be with a warm spot In their hearts
for the people of the city and State.
For this reason nothing must be
left undone to make the welcome .
success. The Finance Committee IA
asking that the contributions be al
lowed to come in as soon as possible.
