ADAPTATION OF Lra.-Mr. steph


AMpurArroN OF LEa.-Mr. Steph-
EN- Bowyer, Of Jackson county w.
Va, some ten days ago brought his
wife daughter of our old friend
Hugh Graham, this county. to our
city for surgical treatment. Near
seven years ago, Mrs. Bowyer re-
ceived some injury of the bones of
the ankle of left foot, resulting in
the death of both of the bones of
the foot and ankle joint, from which
she has been an intense sufferer
ever since. Thursday the 31st ult.,
her leg was amputated short dis
lance above the ankle joint, by
Drs. Barbee and Mossman, and we
are glad to report that Mrs. B. up
to date is getting along most re-
markedly well.
Little Maggie, daughter of our
townsman, j. j. Bright, on the 31st
ult. while manipulating around and.
about the sausage machine at work
in the kitchen got the index finger
of her right hand caught and the
end of it so severed as to necesitate
amputation of same at first distal
point. She is doing well and is
merry as cricket.
We make no to say, big hurrah,
but can always supply you with
fresh and standard groceries, as we
are daily receiving new goods.

The Republicans say there is a
boom in prices in this country. A.
farmer in this county says he can't
see it with his naked eye, so far as
he is concerned. He thinks if rails
ing cattle and selling them at from
% to 3 cents pound, and corn and
potatoes at % and 80 cents a bushel,
indicates boom for the farmer,
then it may be on; if not, it is not.
He is one of the men who has
been voting for high protection, but
he says they can't fool him any
longer by this hypocritical cry, un-
less they can show him where his
portion of aprotection" comes in.
We do not claim to keep better
goods than are made, but do say
you will not find better selection
of groceries anywhere on the Ohio
River, than are kept by Bryan &
Young.

The incorrigible Will Patsey is
again behind the bars for stealing
skiff oars. A little negro named
strother, who was in company with
him, was also arrested on the same
charge. This town is full of little
thieving negroes, and something
ought to be done with them.
