Mr.. EDIroR The Giles County Medi-
cal Society met to-day pursuant to adjourn
ment. Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather. the number in attendance was
small. 1t was matter Of regret with those
present that so many of our active members
were absent. since the question selected at
the last meeting for discussion was one of
peculiar interest. Nevertheless we had an
interesting aud animated discussion, in
which Drs. Davenport, Grant and Aberna-
thy were the most active participants
Happily for the profession the trite adage
that doctors will differ" was not verif-
ed upon this occasion. DR.. Grant read an
appeal to the Society and physicians of the
county, who have not yet become members
OF the Society, urging the necessity for a
permanent organization of this kind, and
showing conclusiyely the great amount of
good that can be accomplished by a united
aud continuous effort. On motion, the
Society unanimously requested DR.. Grant
to read his Appeal at the next regular
meeting, and the Secretary was instructed to
invite the physicians of the county to meet
us on that occasion.
DR.. Davenport introduced the following
resolution
RESOLVED. That the Society meet here
after on the FIRST Monday in each month,
aud that the Secretary be instructed to in
form the members of the change.
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed. A committee appointed for the pur-
pose,. reported as subject for discussion
at our next meeting, 1.-The Pathology and
treatment of Dysmenorrhea." The Socie,
" then adjourned until the first Monday in
March. G. @. ALTERNATELY,

Col. JOE BRowN.-In commenting upon
the life and death of this good old man,
the Banner says:
The long and eventful career of this re-
markable Understanding over almost a
century-suggests reflections of no COM

Red Man held absolute and undisputed pos
session of our soil-he died under the do
minion of the Negro.

Our wide-awake fellow-eitizen, Maj.
Gro. T. ALTMAN, has justreturned from a
visit to the world-renowned stud-farm of
R. A Alexander, Of Kentucky, bringing
with him one Of the finest stations ever
raised on that farm. Mr.. Alexander re-
fused $4,000 for him at p year old !;
but our friend, always plucky, and far in
advance ofths fogyism Of the present day,
has induced Mr.. Alexander's Executor to
part with him at a smaller figure. on ac-
count Of sprain in one knee, which dis
qualities him for the turf. His name is

son, by imported Glencoe. with pedigree
running back aud including some of the
best blood in America. He is Chestnut
horse, FIVE years old, following the dam in
color, aud is said to pOssess all the fine
points Of his ilustrious sire.
With Watson, Albion and Prince, the
Major can certainly please every breeder Of
the thoroughbred horse. aud they, together
with Bob Johnson. owned by Jas. F. Smith

unequalled perhaps, in any interior couu-
ty in the State.

much stronger in Congress than has been
supposed. In the Reconstruction Com
mittee there have been strOng expressions
on the. subject. General Grant was called
before the Committee Saturday. but was
not in attendance early enough to give his
evidence before adjournment. It is said
he is cogniEsnt of facts, not heretofore made

A Lying Report.

The Banner of Tuesday says: "Gen.
Carlin, Assistant Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau for this State, has
transmitted report to Gen. Howard. in
which he insists that the continuance of the
Bureau is necessary for the protection of the
freedmen. He refers to band of men in
certain counties who are in the habit of
committing outrages on the freed people,
and freedmen have come all the way to
Nashville to complain. The civil authori-
ties, be says, will mayer call for aid from
the United States Government to suppress
organizations like Kuklux Khan, whose OBJ
iect is to terrify the negroes and tO prevent
them from exercising the rights of free
people" He represents the white inhabi-
tants as opposed to the freedom of the ne
gro. County officers, sheriffs and magis-
trates, are hostile to the Union, to the civil
government, and to the negro's freedom.
1t is therefore unreasonable to believe that
such officials will attempt to arrest and
punish their own friends for outrages upon
Union men or freedmen. or that they will
ever apply to the United States military
authority for aid in breaking up this socis-
ty, or arrest its members for breaking the
law.
Whether General Carlin hopes to win
promotion faster by his maliciously DELHI
crate misrepresentation of our people than
he did by deeds of prOwess during the
war, or whether his reports mirror the in
extinguishable hatred which burns 10 his
heart against every person or idea of South
ern origin, is a question what difficult
to determine. At any rate, the fact is no.
toriousIy recognized that he forwards to
Washington more So ch bOsh IS that we
produce above chan all the Bureau detec-
tives ia the South put together.

only two years and seven months
old, but fully developed into wo-
manhood. The change took place
when the child was two years old.
With the first indication of the
presence of womanhood, the child's S
body rapidly changed, in all its
parts; from the condition Of tender
infancy to the fullness of that of a
healthy girl. Of eighteen. The face
alone remained ubchanged-a full,

and intelligent eyes and rosy cheeks.
