The Rev. William Iv Boggs, former ly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, is still in Memphis battling with the yellow fiend, nursing the sick and dying When the epidem ic first began Mr Boggs was urged by his friends to leave the stricken city and go to Atlanta and accept a call which had been made to him, but this he pos itively refu>ed to do, declaring that un der no possible cousideratiou would he consent to desert his charge in their hour of peril, preferring to stay with them and share their dangers and hard ships. And now this brave and self- sacrificing mau of Mod is in the midst of the d ooincd city ministering to the phys ical and spiritual wants of the poor and doing everything in his power to allevi ate the sufferings of the destitute and "ick.

Standing nt his parlor window one very Wet day, Talfourd observed the poor old creature iu her usual place, and crouch- itig down wot through with the pelting rain The sight aroused all his kind and pitying nature He tried in vain to pursue his literary or legal labor; again and again he went lo the window to see the same distressing si/ht.
