DR.. j. Glover TOmpkins.
Our popular young friend and fellow
citizen above named-stamped with the
imprimatur Of the great Medical UnIver-
sity Of the City of New York-is once
more at home. And here, we are de-
lighted to say, he will remain, and prac-
tice his profession. Dr.. Tompkins has
been one Of the ehardest and most diligent
students we have ever known; and We
doubt not that his untlagging study,
backed by his naturally fine mind, will
soon proclaim him as marked man in
his profession.

Like Piney Woods Pond.
Hon. George u. Tillman has some racy,
home bred illustrations. When Hon.

as to the mental condition of certain
ex- Congressman, the Edgefeld philoso-
pher replied: "He is like piney woods
pond, stretching over all creation and
only half an inch deep" Our Allen ell

crash of breaking vehicles-nor rain
of fire, birthstone and mud-can arouse
