CONFORM. KING GEORGE COUNTY
VA. January ls.-(special) -soms days
AGO a Mrs. Green, residing near La
Grange. this county. went TO Fredericks-
burg. and there had a large tumor re-
moved from her neck. The operating
physician cautioned her against exposure
20 the weather, and advised her against
nhvsical exert!on for short time. But
notwithstanding such advice, the lazy
rode home. a distance OF thirteen or iour-
teen miles, on horseback several hours
after the surgical operation was per
formed. and on the following day she
washed a large quantity Of clothing ana
freely engaged IN other domestic work
during the day. Apparently she felt no
bad effects from such eXcruon' put on
the next morning (sOme fOrty-eight hours
after the operation) she fell dead, when
attempting To- perform her routine house
hold duties II Is now a question whether
this sudden death resulted from over
cxertlon so soon after the surgical opera
ton. or from heart-failure, superlhduceu
by causes entirely foreign to the opera
ton. At any rate the sad affair has
caused considerable excitement
