W~EhhsMERITED HONORS.
A Prominent Physician Of this CITY
Elected to Fill q Responsible
Position in Chicago.

At a meeting of the Board Of Di-
rectors of the College Of Physicians
and Surgeons, Of Chicago, held at the
Sherman House in that city, on the
10th of the present month, DR.. Pinck-
ney French, of this city, was elected
Professor of Surgical Anatomy in that
institution. He was rendered the
choice Of two chairs-that of Profess
or Of Anatomy and Of Surgical Anat-
omy, and accepted the latter. DR..
French is a native of this county, and
is well known throughout the state,
and has many warm friends and adj
mirers who will rejoice at his advance
ment, but at the same time greatly
regret his determination to remove to
the ''City by the Lakes" The DIR.
is a graduate of the Miami Medical
College Of Cincinnati, is a physician
of liberal views and tendencies, and
expresses decided interest in his pro-
f%ession, enjoys a very extensive prac-
tice, is local surgeon for both the c.
& A. and Wabash Railways, is amen
Der of the Examining Board Of the
Medical department Of the State Uni
versity, an active member Of our
County, District and State Medical
Associations, and is a frequent con-
tributor to Medical literature. Last
yearhe built, and has since successfully
managed. the Mexico City Hospital,
and is a man Of energy and business
ability, and will bring to the institu-
ton which has thus honored him what
whatever benefits can accrue from a
life full Of vim and enthusiastic devo-
ton to the profession Of his choice,
and we feel assured will merit the con-
fidence thus placed in our fellow-citi-
zen. As an evidence of the Dr's.
high standing in his profession he has
four excellent young gentlemen now
pursuing the study Of medicine under
his direction. Quite a coincidence
may be mentioned in connection with
his recent good luck: The day Of his
election to this important position he
was just 80 years of age, which shows
that a long life of usefulness is yet
before him. The Doctor informs US
that he has bought one share-one
eighteenth part-in the College, and
will eventually locate in Chicago. He
also informs us that he will visit Lon
don, leaving this city the first Of July,
and will spend several weeks in the
hospitals of that Metropolis with q

posed upon him in his new field Of

Characteristic.

From the Sedalia Democrat.
Ex-Gov. Chas. H. Hardin, at a meeting
of the board of directors of Hardin Col
lege, held last Tuesday, donated &l9, 900
in cash to be devoted to building an addi-
tional east wing to the college and to en-
dow a professorship. Gov. Hardin has
already donated upwards Of $4,000. This
further action and liberality Of one OF
Missouri's favorite citizens is most praise
worthy, and indicates a determination on
his part to make this college second. to
lone in the West. As it stands now it is
in the front rank of the colleges of the
State especially set apart for the educa-
ton of females.
Nor is Gov. Hardin's large contributions
to the cause Of education the only kind Of
charity which he practices by any means
He is a liberal though unostentatious
giver to many other things, and many q
poor unfortunate could rise up to-day
truthfully and call him blessed. It il
known that while he was Governor of the
State that nc appeal for help was evel
made to him in vain, and that while he
had the reputation to the masses of being
a cold and reserved man, he wa in realit!
one of the most generous : and warn
hearted. He hunted up distress to re.
lieve it, but he didn't preach from the
house tops nor publish it in the news
papers.
And speaking Of Governor, Charles H
Hardin made one of the best that Mis-
souri, ever had, or any other State eve
had. To a rare capacity for sdmisistra
ton, he added great firmness and PROFIT.
Of character. He was plain and unassum
ing as became the Democrat, and frank
liberal and just as became the man. Ma:
he be spared long to the State which ha
honored him and which is proud Of him

Medical Notice!
The Great Renowned Physician
DIR. GARDNER4i

The Doctor has for many years devoted
his undivided attention to the study and
treatment of Chronic and Female Dis
eases; and from the many different cases
which the Doctor has successfully treat
ed, he would heartily recommend all those
who are suffering from Chronic and Fe-
male Diseases to give him trial and test
his astounding ability in treating diseases
of a chronic nature, of all kinds.
The Doctors superior knowledge of the
condition of his patient is marvellous. He
makes examination, locates disease, Civ
ing cause and effect more perfectly than
the patient can tell it. These examina-
tions are marvellous and astounding, and
battle scientific investigation. He guar
antees to cure every disease he pronounc-
es durable, provided patient does as di-
rected after treatment. The Doctor has
proven to the public that Moles, Warts,
Mothers Marks, Colored Specks, Wens,
etc., can be removed without pain and
leave no scar or pit. This delicate opera
tion is highly appreciated by people of
taste and refinement.
Reference is made to w. M. Burris, at
torney at law, of Buckeye City, Knox
county, o., as to cases successfully treated
by the Doctor.
DR.. Lake, of Philadelphia, can testify
to the many marvellous cures made by
DR.. Gardner.
DR.. Gardner will be at Room No. g.
Valley House, Jackson, until the 31st of
this month.

""Se oaly the Genuine which always .r-g~~. =,
On last Sunday, at four o'clOck-the
time announced for holding memoria,
services at the grave of the late Davie
Dungan-a large crowd collected at the
Cemetery. At about half-past four the
Band came marching up the hill, playing
funeral dirge, and followed large con-
course of people, on foot and in carriages
Arrived at the grave, the Band marched
around, in single file, headed by the
drum-major, Coe Bennett, and by James
Chestnut jr., bearing floral tributes.
After playing the Sweet By and By"
prayer was offered by w. ID. Cherington,
of the M. E. Church, j. M. Trip, Esq,
then made few appropriate and feeling
remarks, after which the Band played
Nearer My God to Thee" and the bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev. Cheering
ton, and the crowd dispersed.
The drum-major carried large floral
wreathe, which he hung on the top of the
monument that marks the grave of the
dead drummer-boy. Each member of
the Band then laid upon the grave a
floral design, making when completed, a
cross upon the grave, making from bot
tom to top, the word "D-r-u-m-m-e-r." !"
Mr.. Dungan's family were all present,
and a number of those in the crowd were
on the train when Davie DUNCAN was
killed.
Thus has passed another sad ami
versary of that memorable 9th of Au-
gust.

Railroad Meeting.

In pursuance of the call published in
last weeks papers for meeting of citi-
zens to take measures to secure the ex-
tension of the Toledo, Cincinnati & st.
Louis Narrow Gauge railroad through
Jackson, a number of our representative
men met at the Court House last Thurs
day evening, and organized with d. Mack
ley as chairman and Lewis V. Brown as
secretary.
A few short speeches were made, from
which it appeared that it had been the
intention of the original promoters of
this railroad to make Jackson its termi-
nus, but the road changed hands, and
through some means was diverted to
WellstOn. The present managers are ex-
tending the road to Ironton, and have ex-
pressed willingness to build branch
through Jackson at their own expense, if
the people wanted it, and it could be
shown to be to the company's interest
and practicable route could be found
1t was the sentiment of the meeting that
| the road would be of great advantage to
Jackson, passing as it will, in it's course
to the river, through rich iron ore, lime
stone and coal belt, and that large
freight business could be done which
would be remunerative both to the Rail
Road Go. and to the people. For the pur
pose of presenting these matters proper.
| ly before the railroad authorities, and in
forming them as to the routes practicable
for building the road, the following com
| mittee was appointed:
Isaac Brown, L. T. Murfin, T. M. Jones
Lot Davies, T. S. Matthews, James Ches
nut, Jacob A. Long, L. W. French, J. r
Booth, J. G. Kyle, G. G. James, D. d. Dun
gan, Rufus Peters, Edward Poor, E. w
Mitchell, Mark Sternberger, David Da
Wis, ]. M. Trip, Irvine DUNCAN, John ]
Mc-Kitterick, and B. David.
1t was announced that this committe,
would meet Immediately after the clos
of the meeting, and the meeting was thel
adjourned. LEWIS V. BROWN, Sec'y.
