"A few issues ago we mentioned
that Hon. Andrew Conk had gone
South with expectations that a change
of climate would benefit bis health.
We learn from letter to a friend in
Tionesta that he is at Old Point Com.
fort, Va. His health has somewhat
improved, though not as rapidly as he
and his friends had hoped and desired.
Dr. Dickson, Of Pittsburgh, his physi.
clan, is with him, giving him all med
ical attention that skull can command.
The Dr. is very saDguine of the judges
recovery. Mrs. Cook, Miss Hattie,
and Wayne, are also with them, and
if good nursing aud care are effective,
the judges recovery is a certainty.
They expect to go further South and
spend the winter in Georgia.
