The "oldest inhabitant" is in the
soup; anyway he is saying very little
about the winter of so.and.so, way
back when he was boy, beating the
record thus far this year. Up to this

-Drs. Siggins and Morrow of this

right leg Of Frederick Cubbon, of
Fagundus, yesterday, amputating it
about four inches above the knee. Mr..

manner as to nearly sever all but the
little toe therefrom. The injury did
not heal to the satisfaction of the
family, and DR.. f. T. Mason was sum
moned on Sunday last, and found that
amputation of the foot at about the
middle was necessary. This he pro-
ceeded to do, and now the young man
is getting along very comfortably. He
was assisted in the operation by his
brother, DIR. w. A. Mason, of Pleas
