And Mt Roosevelt Chapel, Dec. l4tI.
The CONCERT Is the custom
for home papers to commend home, con.
certs and home talent on any and all oe
casions. Indeed, it is sosmueh the custom
that it blunts deserved praise. We wish
it were nots,so, because thei ladies' who
were engaged in the concert Monoav and
Tuesday nights might Tie more happily
appreciate the encomi0ms pieasd audi
ence would bestow. Their exhibitions
were q delightful success. not only as an
evenings enjoyment, but as a compliment
to the culture, taste, and refinement OF
our society. u c are proud OF the home
taleat displayed The charades we're we'll
presented, but the castles were too numer-
to permit individual mention Mrs
Il, is a natural winning ccmmedienne,
sparkling with life aud humor; Mrs G.,
was inimitable as a quaint old country
Itdy; Miss Lizzie IL, was splendid as
was also, Miss Matte s., Miss Bette F.
and Miss Emma M. The life of the
Tea Party was the pretty little Irish
servant girls. Misses Lowe l. AID Mil
lie B.. The ladies were all good, while
eur friends Chess Smith, Willie Holoonbe
and VIM. Fortune, covered themselves
with "inextinguishable glory. Misses
Matte R, and LA S =, in the character
song The Jolliest Girls, were heartily
nprlauded. Mr.. SIM Landrum, jr., 81
Master Muff Kingmln, also ioue splendid
ia a character song. We always mention
the best last-and that is the musical
feast. Miss Belle Fortune, the sweet lit
tie priina donna. is a perfect ray Of nusi-
cal Sunshine, but she scarcely excelis Mr..
VIM. Fortune in his parts while Mrs
kingman has no superior as an instru-
mental performer. "Father viii Settle
ths Bill" by Miss Belle Fortune, aud
The Bridge" by Mr. viii Fortune, chaI-
lenge the admiration of every lover of
music. All the musical performance was
good; but in this part Of the exhibition.
there was so much Fortune that we can
only congratulate the audience wko had
the good fortune to be abe to hear these
Fortunes, and hope they may have the
fortune to hear these Fortunes frequently
in the future.
The Ladies' Society realized aboat So
from the concerts; and we are glad 10
hear they intei.d repeating it o; an carly |
day.
We hear Of very rare and unsual !
surgical operation which has been per- I
formed by Or. y \ Faris Mr.. Wm. (
Floyd hSd, IN some vay, broken the
coxyx, in So much it threatened sincur-
lie suffering II not death. Dr.. Paris
determined to remove it yith The fnife f
which he did. lie renewed The ,i.ree
joints, which measured :. inches. and the
patient nov presents evcry favosable np-
pearanee. Ia this egeTation he was asyl
by Drs corbeit and Iiauson. VI
Dr.. Faris deserves the highest
praise for his ssili in this operation.
Doctors, we think, have an overdrawn
raodesty in regard 10 Publishing such oe-
eurrences, aad against this, we propose
to break the rule. We have heard Of q
number Of very fne aul difficult susgi-
cal operations performed BY De-. Faris,
End it is nothing but Justice that they
should be noted for his benefit ard credit
lie ranks as one Of the best surgeons, :
lnd if his operations were noted woRli :
give him q deserved celebrity as sueh. /
