The Gainesville EdgLe has the following:
The Banks County Guards. of which Judge
Captain. are to have a reunion Tomorrow
There are only about twenty-five survivors Of
once large and daring company. Captain
Gambler went into the war with more soldiers
than the Second Georgia Regiment brought
out of IL. They were in fights almost inces-
sanity. and probably not company or regi-
ment in Georgia had their ranks 50 thinned
To-day the bones OF hundreds of the COM
rades Of these brave survivors lie bleaching
on many battle field, and it is TO pay respect

from all the principal cities of the State. and

The Washington Gdsette says: 1.-TWO ne
grOes on Mr.. W. \. POpe's place got INTO a
difficulty one night last week. One shot at
the other with pistol, without effect. and he
IN turn was cut In the head with knife.
There were three wounds in the head. One
made cash IN the scalp several inches long;
the second was across the forehead and into
the left eye. putting it out; and the third was
a stab in the skull. when the point of the
knife, fYe-eighUhs of an inch long, was brOk-
en- on and left there. The blade was large
one. The wounded negro was not confined to
Z his bed, but on several different days came in
3 Town 10 the physicians IOf treatment. Inc
wounds were dressed. and the effort was
/ made to extract the piece of knife blade. but
+ IL stuck as If il were in wise.
/ The most muscular men could do
nothing with il because so slight
hold could be obtained. Finally the piece was
broken in two, and a part of il taken out.
Drs. J. II. and J. A. Lane, who were treating
the case, then resOrted to the operation Of
trepanning. took out a round piece of the
I skull about the size of a nickel. and removed
Z the balance OF the knife blade which was
sticking IN the brain. This operation was not
performed for some days after the negro was
wounded. For day or two previous to the
operation the negrO's mind seemed to be af-
fected. This was caused from a formation of
puS. which was pressing the brain. This
pus was allowed to escape when the piece of
skull was removed. and the mind of the
wounded man recovered its normal condition
Immediately. The negro Is recovering rapid
ly, and Will probably soon be as well as ever,
minus one eye and piece Of his skull bone"
