Some Hope for Blind Child.

W. T. Stuart and wife, of McComb City, Miss., who have been visiting his brother, Howard Stuart 12 miles southeast of Rensselaer, returned here yesterday from Chicago where they had gone to consult a specialist about the eyes of their two year old daughter. The little one was bathed by a nurse with a strong lye soap when six weeks old and the lye gotjinto its eyes and almost totally blinded it. An opaque substance has] grown over the eyes but theXChicago specialist lends them hope of being able to remove the growth from the eyes and of restoring one, at least, to almost perfect vision. Some Robbing in Monticello, Also. Monticello also had some experience with house breakers, on their circus day, which wasjWednesday. The residence of Elisha Warden, the old lately moved the old postoffice building here, was entered and a lot of clothing taken. Three coon’s who went with the circus, were seen leaving the house, and] were subsequently arrested. Also a fourth who was found to haveJMr. Warden’s goods in his possession. All four are in jail and will probably increase by that number the colored population at Michigan City or Jeffersonville. They {also swiped lap robes, dusters etc., from buggies.
