SK1LLFUL SURGICAL OpERAT1oN.-We wit
messed the performance of surgical operation
by DR.. Benjamin Rhett upon colored woman,
last Wednesday, which for success OF accom-,
plishment stands unrivaled in the history OF
surgery in this country. The operation was
for "malignant epulis"-a malignant or can
cerous growth attached to the inner side of the
left jaw, extending from the angle of the jaw
to the chin, and having attachments to the side
of the tongues base requiring the removal of
portion of the jaw to which it was attached,
and dissection from the base of the tongue.
The operation was difficult on account of the
location of the parts within the mouth, and
dangerous from the proximity of numerous
large arteries. The operation consumed one
hour, during which time. from the tirst incision
in the cheek to tho last stitch of the needle,
the doctors cut and sawed and mortised until
we began to think we would hate to be in that
woman's fix. The patient is doing remarkably
we'll. Drs Parker, Yates, and Thompson rem
dered services during the operation.
From Ab5criNe Press Banner, Oct Is, 1873.
MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CARD..-We direct
attention to the card of our townsman, DR..
Benz. Rhett, which appears in another column.
DR.. Rhett is thoroughly educated physician,
of large experience in hospitals and otherwise,
and is q reading man fully abreast with the
learning of his profession. He has performed
q number of surgical operations in our town
and vicinity, which have given him a reputa-
ton. We commend him to the patronage of
our friends

We are indebted to them for sack of Flour

Some of cur merchants are dealing with this
firm, and we have no doubt that the low rates
of freight will materially reduce the prices.

HoN. E. M. RUcKER.-The Elberton Gazette
in giving an account of the anniversary cele.
bration of the Eberton Literary Club, makes
the following complimentary allusion to oul
former townsman, Maj. E. NJ. Rucker, who
was the orator of the OCCASION
Hon. E. M. Rucker delivered an able literary
address. The scholarship of Mr.. Rucker is
unquestioned, and we have frequently listened
to him before, always with the greatest interest
but on this occasion he fairly surpassed HIM
self. He went over the whole field of literature
from ancient authors of eminence and distinc,
tion to those of the present day, showing per-
feet familiarity with the subject, and treating
it in most beautiful and eloquent language
carrying his listeners with him in his lights Of
fancy, and arousing all their interest in the
subiect-matter We never saw more marked
interest in an audience, and at the close of the
address, he received perfect ovation Of
applause.
