The opera'tion consisted in the removal of a dermoid cyst, of 14 years’ growth, from near the base of the spine. The operation was entirely success ful. The Methodists of Barkley circuit v will be sorry to lose the services of Rev. O. L.

Cal Qusselmaa, the Auburn farmer and lecturer' at farmers’ institute, did not remain a widower long after his wife obtained a divorce. He was married immediately after the divorce was granted. Hussellman has rented the farm just porth of bis former home and already has a wife to help him run the place. Hussellman is bound to always;justify his name by his deeds. Later reports indicete that the injary to corn by the frost of Saturday night was more extensive than first reports indicated. Thus in many places on the higher ground it is greatly damaged. As is usually; the oase in early and rather light frosts, it “went in streaks" and thus some fields are badly injured while some others near by and similarly looated are scarcely touobed at allMala Garrison from over in what were last June the submerged regions off Miiroy Tp., was in town today. He planted 70 aores of oorn in the spring and it “shrunk in the wetting" worse than the cheapest piece of flannel shirting ever sold on a bargain oounter. Of the whole 70 sores in the planting he only has four aores for harvesting. It is a pretty tough proposition for Mr. Garrison, but no worse than quite a number of others in that and some other regions in this county are faoe to face with. Bishop Vinoent made a nice talk to the high school and Bth year class one afternoon, during conference* He gave them a little of his life experience, and a good deal mors of good advioe as to their owuj course in life. It is pleasant tp be able to add that the Bishop privately remarked after the lecture that he had never been before a] more courteous, well behaved and attentive high school in all his life- It is a flue thing, both for the teaohers and scholars, that a man like Bishop Vinoent oan make snoh a statement aa that. With characteristic good sense, F. D. Haimbaogh says in ths Munoie Herald: “The editor who thinks that it ia ths province of a newspaper to attaok everything

that is uot to bis personal liking lacks much of having a thorough understanding of the mission of the press. A fool or an egotist is a dangerous individual tojhave charge of the directing polioy of a newspaper. [ Like the proverbial boll in a china shop,he can do a vast amount of damage in a very short time. Beoanse an editor cannot always have his pet measure pushed is no excuse for wholesale attack on those, who oppose him.” S f THURSDAY. Y Mrs. W. G. Slagle went to Hammond today for a short visit. Chas. Dean went to Goshen, Ind.. yesterday on business Mrs. Adda Crosscup went to Hammond today for a few days visit. Ed.

Cbilcote was called to Cincinnati Tuesday and there learned that he was appointed on the railway mail service, and was given some neoessary instructions on the duties of the work.

The DeTourney Co. is at the Ellis Opera House for a two nights stand. The company is headed by Madam DeTonrney the “Tragedy Queen.” Last nights production of Mary Qneen of Soots was very finely rendered. The costuming and stage Betting are new and elegant. The company presents tonight the celebrated old bnt ever new comedy “The Honeymoon" and it is the first time it has ever been shotin in our oity.

“Wortermelon” time has come aronad agin, but though watermelons are plenty on the local market, good ripe sweet melons are'about as soarce as fat chiokens since the conference, The reason for this poor quality is probably largely attributable to the cold an 3 wet summer But, besides this, we doubt if many who raise melons for the market are particular enough in 'planting goad varieties; nor do they give them time to get ripe before picking. John Tobin, author of The Honeymoon, the play which :s to be given at the opera house here, tonight, was a London lawyer who died of consumption, in 1804, at the age of 34 years, just as he was about to sail for the West Indies in search of health, He wrote several plays, but the managers turned them all down until The Honeymoon appeared. This was in preparation for production at the Drury Lane theater when Tobin died; and thus he never saw it performed. It was a brilliant success from the first and has always held its place on the stage.
