some time with stone in the bladder
was operated on by Dr. Boulware
assisted by Drs. Renick and Lana
down, a few days ago, since which

J. P. Edwarda of this place. She
has been afflicted for some time and
an operation was decided upon as
the only relief for her ailment.
The magnificent rain which fell
in this county Saturday and Sunday
has been worth many thousands of
dollars to the farmers in the way of
saving the corn crop and reviving
the pastures. The hot dry weather
was telling on the corn crop and the
pastures had just about failed. Four
or five days more without rain and
the magnificent prospects for the
largest com yield ever raised in the
county would have left us with u
half or third of a crop.

A large contribution will not hurt

fortunate enough to secure it, it will
be worth all it costs. And the best
part of it is our chances are just as
good as any other town.
Odd Fellows, we appeal to you to
come to the front. Two years ago
we raised one thousand dollars for a

Senator Veat Very Sick.
Washington, July 29. Senator
Vest is quite ill: while his condition
is not considered serious, all callerg
are denied. The trouble is a combina
tion of erisypelas and the swelter
ing heat.
The past year hits been the hard
est one in the senator's legislature
experience. He has been to the
democrats in th tariff fight what
Senator Aldrich has been to the re
publicans, the expert in details of
the schedules. Recently the senator
has expressed himself as feeling that
he would never be able to go through
another like ordeal.
A later report says the Seuator is
improving and is able to be up and
about. His face, however, is badly
swolen.
