Industry is always commendable,
but there is wide difference between
legitimatily directed industry and an
avarice which will require seven days
work per week from every member of
family, barely giving the children an
hour i'm which to attend their Sunday
school, and emphasizing the lessons
learned there by Juggling lumber all the
afternoon. But we have just such peo-
pie in Paw Paw-people whose names
are on church books as members i'm full
connection, and who pay no more heed
To the Sabbath than To any other day
in the week. Eye" on such way of
bringing up family of children!
The Free Will Baptist Sunday school
missionary fair will be held Tuesday,
Oct Sth, at the storeroom now occu-
pied by H. w. Slovenian. Articles,
beautiful and useful will be arranged
for exhibition and sale throughout the
day and evening. Anyone wishing to
buy good "home- made" bread, pies,
cake, baked beans, etc, will find them
at this place during the day. In the
evening, after brief Introductory ser
vice, the different articles will be sold
to the highest bidder. Don't fail to
patronize this unique harvest home,
filled with the fruits of honest toll, and
for which the children have made their
best efforts.
The sale department of the Paw Paw
Horse and Stock fair will be conducted
the same rs last year, except that en-
tries in this department will be free.
Any person desiring to sell any kind of
stock will have the privilege of taking
it upon the ground by paying the en-
trance fee at the gate only, and the
property will be listed for sale by the
secretary. Considerable advertising has
heen done among purchasers for the
purpose of bringing people here 10 buy
stock of all kinds at that time. An auc-
tioneer will be furnished to sell at a
commission of one per cent. at auction
until IL o'clock of each day, should
any be offered for sale in that way
the auction sales to be ut the option of
owners 1t costs but little to bring any
animal which farmer may have for
sale, and it may be the means of secur-
ing him buyer at good price. 1t
will, at least, let people know that the
animal is for sale, and if the sale is not
secured during the fair, it may lead to
information that will make for him
sale afterwards. This is new depart
ure in agricultural fairs and must of
necessity work slowly, but the manage
ment is in hopes in this way to build up
sale for stock that will be of great
benefit to the community, and they ask
the cordial support of their patrons, for
whose interest alone it will work.
From an article prepared by Dr. W.
w. Keen, for HarperS Magazine for
October, under the head of Extra
rdinary Achievements of Modern Sur
gerry" we make the following extract
in regard to some most wonderful dag
HOScS VI tdStS Ol DIdlH lutllOI. III.
Bennett had diagnosticated not only
the existence, but the exact locality of
tumor in the brain, of which not the
least visible evidence existed on the eX-
terror of the skull, and asked Mr.. God
lee to attempt its removal. The head
was opened and the brain exposed.
No tumor was seen but SO certain
were they of the diagnosis that Mr..
Godlee boldly cut open the healthy
brain and discovered tumor the size
of walnut and removed it. After do
ing well for three weeks, inflammation
set in, and the patient died on the
twenty-siXth day. But, like the first
Atlantic cable, it pointed the way to
success, and now there have been 20
tumors removed from the brain, of
which Il have been removed from the
cerebrum with - recOveries, and three
from the more dangerous region of the
cerebellum, all of which proved fatal.
Until this recent innovation erery case
of tumor in the brain was absolutely
hopeless. The size of the tumors re-
moved has added to the astonishment
with which surgeons view the fact of
their ability to remove them at all.
TumOrs measuring as much rs three
and four inches in diameter, and weigh
ing from a quarter to over a third OF "a
pound, have been removed, and the pa
tients have recovered"
