WHITES STORE.

The health of our community is only
tolerable good at present. Miss Dora
Bowman, of Bristol, has been visiting
friends of this place for a few days.
People of this community are all about
through with their harvesting. The
drouth has about cleaned up spring
oats and the hay crops. We are having
plenty of rain now. Col. Nathan Gregg
has returned from the Baltimore hos
pital to his home and is able to walk
around a little. George Geter seems to
improve very much. DR.. Isaac Boring
is a little better at this writing. They
were thinking that old Mrs. Friday was
about to depart this life Wednesday.
The prospect for corn is not very good
at present. The Democrat office seekers
of Sullivan are not much tog, ther now.

whackers than that of teaching the
young idea how to shoot" This con-
dition of affairs ought not to be, and
we advise our voters to select men
that will do their duty regardless of
personal friends or foes, that our schools
may march onward and upward in
stead of retrograding, al is the case in
many instances. Married-on the 2Sth,
George Sprinkle to Miss May Berry, of
May Day, which leads us to remark
There never yet was a goose so gray,
But n day soon, or late,
An honest gander came that way,
And chose her for his mate"
We wish Uncle George and his fair
young bride much joy, peace, prosper
lty and happiness as they travel thro'
the rugged and thorny pathway of life,
and hope their paths may always be
strewn with flowers and all the good
things of life, and that all their cares
may be little ones. Died-on Friday
evening last at the residence of her
son in law, VIM. May, in the Fifth
District. Mr.. Sarah Lane also died
with paralysis Sunday evening; also
Elkana Walker. Mr.. Walker has been
a1llcted for some time by a complica-
plication of diseases and his death was
unexpected. Mr.. Walker and Mrs.
Lane were highly respected citizens of
this community, and their deaths are
sadly deplored by a large circle of rela-
tives and friends, all of whom heartily
sympathise and condole with the sadly
bereaved ones. Kyker's school house
has been completed and received a
thorough painting last week. This
makes two houses our very worthy and
efficient directors have erected within
the past two years. The Fourth can now
boast of four good school houses and
our directors have run the schools.

surplus on hand-all honor to their
good management of our school funds.
Hope the new ones will do just as we'll
accordingly. PHELIM.

at the table, who was listening 20 :he dis

maker was suggested. and there is every
prospect OF its being carried out by the
New York and Hartford friends of the bal
ladst, who died here ten years ago, and is
buried in one of the old cemeteries of the
city.
The memorial is to be a granite pedestal
with bas-reiefs in bronze representing wa
scenes such as Works songs suggest. There
will also be bust of the author OF the
famous songs. The memorial will be erect
ed on the City Park, south of the state
capitol, and will occupy one of the most
picturesque spots in Hartford.

The Body of n Hospital Patient Foun ID
LOADED With the Metal.

From the San Francisco Examiner
Dr. RfNford of the city and county hes
pital staff has discovered a mine Of quick
silver. The mine did not pan out in any
paying quantities, but while IL was being
worked it was interesting. at least to a few,
although there was one who could not see
much pleasure in It. The one was Robert
McCloud. and in about forty places under
the skin the metal was hidden. McCloud
entered the hospital about a month ago.
with his arms and legs and some parts of
his body covered with tumors about the
size OF pigeons egg. These were red and
Notwithstanding Jumps, and when the pa
tent was admitted the physicians started
in TO treat the Assesses In the usual way.
They were curetted time and time again.
but to no effect; and the doctors were pug
zled- They tried all sorts Of remedies, but
the assesses remained and seemed to
thrive in their own healthy way.
\ few days ago DR.. RiNford and Dr. Glass;
ford decided 10 remove one Of the obstinate
tumors and the patient was placed on the
operating table. The usual course was pur-
sued by the surgeons in taking away tho
lump, but when II WAS opened IL was found
TO contain a quivering mass Of quicksilver
about the size OF a pea. The surgeons were
more astonised than ever. and they set
about opening all the quicksilver mines on
the mans body. and before they got
through they had about fifty such pieces Of
the liquid metal. Every one of the alb
scesses was the same. with the exception
that some contained more mercury than
others. The patient was put back 10 led
and when he had so far recovered ne ex-
planned the reason for the quicksilver being
found under his skin.
He Was n Miner.
He said he was miner. and fer some
time before coming TO the hospital he had
been employed around the quicksilver mines
about the Mojave desert. One day while
cut prospecting he fell over a cliff and
landed in a cactus plant. The sharp thorns
had pierced him I'm many places, and for
several days he was very sore from his
wounds. One Of his companions told him
tn apply quicksilver to the places where
thorns had penetrated and IL would relieve
the pain. lie pulled a loose pair OF gloves
on his hands and filled them up with the
liquid to see IL IL would have the desired
effect with the wounds in mis- fingers. IL
acted splendidly, ana he made bans,ages
for his arms and legs and fairly wallowcl
in a pouitice Of quicksilver for o dav. The
soreness was gone and the miner went beck
to work. In a few days the swelling COM
menced at every place the thorns Lad prick
ell him and where the mercury had been
applied.
The physicians Mt the hospital are won
dering how TIE patient escaped mercur.al
poisoning. He suffered no constitutional
disarrangement, and the action of the mer-
curry was purely local. McCioud Is In q
fair way 10 recovery, and he expects 10 20
back TO the mines IN a few days.
