were made BIZ Rev. G. P. Watson, Of the
Methodist Church, and Mr.. W. II. Frier.
son, of the Presbyterian Church. Rev.
DIR. Frierson then made few appropriate
remarks, and, in behalf of the Ladies'
Missionary Society of his Church, pre-.
sented Mrs. Edwards with handsome
gold pen and staff, as token of the ap.
probation of the members of her good
work in their Society. The exercises were
interspersed with gospel songs, and con.
cluded with a prayer from Mr.. A. B. Tow
ers, the venerable Superintendent Of the
Presbyterian Sunday School, and the
singing of that grand old familiar hymn,
From Greenland's Icy Mountains" etc.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards will carry with
them to their far distant home the prayers
and good wishes of our people.
A few months ago Emma, a bright and
sweet little daughter Of Mr.. Fl. 81. Acker,
of Varennes Township, began complain
ing Of one of her eyes paining her. In q
few days her parents noticed that the eye.
lid was slightly swollen, and called the
family physician to SEQ it. The physician
looked at it, said be feared it was q
tumor, and advised the parents to await
further Developments. In the meantime
the swollen eyelid had drawn itself down
and remained in that condition. The
pain was not severe and the little girl bore
her affliction bravely and patiently. The
Inflammation increased slowly, and last
week Mr.. Acker brought the little girl to
the Office OF Drs Nardin & Orr, who had
decided to perform an operation on the
eyelid. They made a thorough e1amina
tiou of the eye, and in tew minutes, to
their surprise, they found piece of straw,
nearly the length Of the eye, lodged under
the lid at the top of the eyeball. It was
removed at once, and the little girls eye
began to improve at once, and is now
nearly well. Mr.. Acker then remem.
bered that the children, after harvest time,
had been playing in pile of straw on his
premises, and it is supposed that the little
girl accidentally got the piece Of straw In
her eye at that time.
The Atlanta Constitution of few days
contains a picture and lengthy bio
eraphy of our clever friend and former
townsman, DR.. Walker G.. Browne. We
clip the following paragraph from the
Constitution, which we know will be
read with interest by the Doctors many
old friends in Anderson: "The profess
sion of dentistry has an able and worthy
representative in the person OF DR.. Wal
ker G.. Browne, of this city. DR.. Browne
is not only we'll thought Of in Atlanta,
where he enjoys large and liberal prac-:
tice, but stands in tho very front rank Of
his profession throughout the country.
He has filled a number of important
offices in the gift Of his fraternity, In all
of which he has demonstrated his superb
ability and managed the affairs entrusted
to him with absolute fairness and Impair
Nality. DR.. Browne is emphatically
self-made man. For the high prestige to
which he has attained among his col
leagues in Atlanta, he is indebted to his
steady application, q heart prepared for
any fate, and resolution to be awed by
no difficulty. Without favor or political
friendship, be has blazed his own pro-
fessional career, and kept his purpose
steadily before him until now he COM
mands a position Of honor and respecta-
bility of which no one need be ashamed.
Attractive in person, genial in manners
and cordial in his daily intercourse with
men, DR.. Browne has added to his skill
the quality of social magnetism, and has
made host of friends since he has been
g resident of this city,"
The largest crowd we have had in An.
derson this season was seen on the streets
last Saturday. Doubtless good portion
of the crowd was attracted here on account
of DR.. John Leo. who is selling some In
dian remedies on the Court House Square
from rheumatism walk without help. The
cripple was Mr.. Lewis White, young
man who is an employee Of the Anderson
Cotton Mills, bat who had been confined
to his bed, in helpless condition for three
months past with inAammatory rheuma-
tsm. It was about 4 o'clock when the
young man, accompanied by his mother,
was brought on the platform, which
stands on the east end of the Court House,
and by that time several thousand people
had gathered to witness the ecene. DR..
Leo stripped the young mans pants to
above theSknee, and called on any physi.
clans who were present to come up and
examine the afflicted leg. Drs. Harris
and Dnckett went up, and they pro-
nounced 1t inflammatory rheumatism.
After a vigorous application of the lini-
ment by I'r. Leo, the young man was
raised up, given pair of crutches and
walked acroHs the stand. He was then
seated and several bottles of the liniment
was again applied. He was then told to
get up, and, slightly limping, walked
across the stand several times. This
seemed to give him more confidence, and,
following DR.. Leo, walked out On the
gangway, some twenty feet or more. He
then walked up and down the steps, and
the crowd cheered and cheered, and the
poor mother could not keep her tears
from flowing. A purse was made up at
once and presented to her. The young
man WAS sent homo, and has been walk:
ing around every day with comfort and
ease. He says he has no pain, and hopes
soon to go to work again. The cure was
certainly remarkable.
