Recital mt whitworth.

No College can boast of finer must
cal talent than that found at Whit
worth. while Miss Stevens delighted
and captivated the large audience with
her brilliant recitaticns.
1t is useless to mention by name the
ladies of the Musical Department.
This paper has so frequently men
toned them. and so highly praised
them that our vocabulary of adjectives
is exhausted. Every number was a
gem, and called forth enthusiastic
praise.
Long may Whitworth live, to delight
her friends, to cultivate our girls and
to bless our community.
We learn from President Chambers
that there is large increase in the
boarding patronage. The departments
are so we'll filled with pupils that an
assistant music teacher, Miss Bennett.
of Macon, Ga, has been employed, and
will begin her labors ON next Thurs
day.
1t is matter of congratulation to
the community that nothing daunts
the zeal and energy of our President.
Slowly, but surely, the whole College
is undergoing a complete transforma
ton. Every visit to the grounds re-
veals some new touch which adds to
its attractiveness; every glimpse at the
interior discovers to us an increase of
comfort.
Brookhaven people should rejoice
that they have the best college plant
in the South and a man at its head
who sees the opportunity and moves
forward to the accomplishment of
great things. Let us "all lend hand"

r. j. BOONE, Pastor.

1t was with much regret that the in
telligence was received on last Sabbath
that Rev. w. f. Marlborough, the pastor
of the Baptist church, had decided to
re-enter the Theological Seminary at
Louisville, and thus deprive his con-
gregation here of his valued services.
While they admit the wisdom of his
course, they regretfully deplore the
necessity of releasing him from his
labors, which he had so ably under
taken among them, and all join in a
hearty God-speed for his success where
ever he may be.

After the first treatment began to improve, and four days only have elapsed since have been treated by Dr. Prosser, and today, for the first time, 1 have been able to walk around without the use of cane, something have not been able to do for long time. I am now abso- ] lutely free from pain, and cannot tell you how grateful feel to Dr. Prosser, for he has done what scores of phys1, clans have failed to do - correctly diagnosed my case and given me relief. :" MT. Spaul plainly showed the grati- tude he felt toward Dr. Prosser, and was not stinting in his words of praise toward the famous specialist.
 After leaving MT. Spaul the reporter next visited the institute rooms in the Monihon block. The reception room was filled with patients who were awaiting their turn to be treated. Sev- eral of those who had been under treat ment told the reporter that they were already feeling like new people and had all confidence in the physician's ability to permanently cure them.
 The reception room of the institute is most elaborately fitted up, and every convenience is afforded to patients. The physician was so busy that the scribe had only few words with him in regard to his treatment. but was permitted to witness patient undergo his famous treatment.
 In every branch of his profession the doctor seems fully capable and experi- enced, and by hie work his success best 1 is shown.
