We are imfonned that at a certain resi?
dence near town last week a group of live
or six persons was assembled in a room

brought in. Each one in the crowd was
anxious to read it first, and a scramble took
place to decide who should first get the
paper. In this struggle it was so badly
mutilated that they all lost a chance to
read it. This shows, however, that the
Republican is a popular visitor in many
households.

from Pulaski, is assisting at the day ser?
vices. Great interest is being manifested
by the people of the community.Good con?
gregations attend the day meetings and at
night the church is filled with attentive
listeners. The termination of these ser?
vices depends upon the amount of interest
that is exhibited. They may go on for
some time or soon be brought to a close.

He was placed in Dr. It. 15. Gillespie's pri?

performed a successful operation.removing
a tumor that weighed some ten or twelve
pounds. He was assisted in the operation
by Drs. Issac Pierce.C. T. St.Clair.and W.
C. Hall. Baldwin was not in a good phy?

down, and rallied very slowly from the
shock of the operation. For nearly two

but in the last thirty six hours he has
been getting much better, and strong
hopes arc now entertained that he will get
well. He is a man 35 or 40 years old and
in very poor circumstances. The work of
the surgeons was an act of charity.
