"Is'e Bleeged to Look After My
Flock.
Monroe Enquirer.)

The story is told Of a colored
preacher who was very much op-
posed to dancing and was very
loud in his exhortations against
it. Secretly he loved the music
of the violin and the dance had
all irresistible charm for him.
On a certain night a ball was to
be given and the preacher went
SO far as to threaten to expel
any of his flock who dared att
tend the ball. But or the night
of the ball the violent parson
was seen sitting in one corner of
the hall, patting his foot and
swaying his body to the music
of the dance. One of his friends
ventured to express surprise at
seeing the parson at the ball,
but the preacher defended him
self by saying: "Lawsy Massa!
I hates dis nightly, but Is de
shepherd, and rs bleeged ter
look arter my flock. Is got my
eye onto avery one oh desc here
onchristian, pop-eyed, dancin
niggers, and you see eff l don t

stone for all dis next meetin

the Elizabeth river, lost four
teen dry kilns, two fan houses
and $4,000 feet of first class

tai loss estimated at s23, 900. The
mills fire pumps broke down,
and the engines sent from Nor
folk and Berkeley met with mis-
haps. But for the pluck of the
mill hands the entire plant
would have been destroyed. AS
sistance was rendered by the

A Finger for Her Nose.

It is due to the skilltul sur
gerry of DR.. Joseph P. Tunis, of
Philadelphia, that Mrs. John
Edwards, of Chester, Pa, has a
nose like anybody else. The
third finger is missing from
Mrs. Edwards right hand, but
it is now a part of her face, for it
was grated there to form a new
nose for her. Mrs. Edwards
was admitted to the Methodist
Episcopal Hospital late i'll the
fall to be treated for a cancerous
growth. This ailment was care
fully treated and checked, but it
had left an unsightly ble1nish
where the patients nose had
been. Mrs. Edwards grieved a
great deal over the facial dishg-
ure1nent, and, when DR.. Tunis
suggested a remedy, she immed
lately agreed to undergo the OPP
Grafton. by means of which one
of her fingers was to be made to
take the place of her nose.
The patient was etherized,
and the operation begun. DR..
Tunis cut off the end joint of the
third finger of her right hand !,
and disartlculated the remaining
two bones. The hand was held
in position over Mrs. Edwards
face, and the boneless flesh was
laid over the damaged nose and
stitched to the face. Bandages
of crinoline, spread with plaster
of paris, were wrapped about the
patients body, holding the arm
firmly in place. The hand and
remaining fingers were padded
to prevent maceration of the
face, and for three weeks Mrs
Edwards remained in that POI
sition. Her hand almost en-
tirely covered her face, and t
was necessary to feed her by
means of tube inserted into the
left corner of her mouth. Oc-
casiona11y the bandages were
removed, but the hand was never
allowed to change its position.
The finger was firmly grated
to the face. 1t was then treated
with a preparation of cocaine
and was severed from the hand.
Both wounds we're dressed and
the patient was none the worse
for the operation. She was much
better off, as a matter of fact,
for the new nose was quite as
good as the average persons.
The nasal passages, which had
not been affected by the cancer
Gus ailment, had been packed
with iodoform gauze and the
nostrils were thereby preserved.
Mrs. Edwards has left the hos
pital with a new nose, hardly
less perfect in form than her or
iginal one.

a Remarkable cure effec-

HER FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND
PHYSICIANS BELIEVED HER
Dissolution A QUESTION OF
A FEW DAYS-PRAYED THAT
SHE NIGHT RECOVER, ASTON
ISHED HER HUSBAND BY RIS-
@G AND WALKING.

The Norfolk VUginian prints
the following news item from
Suffolk, Va:
The most remarkable exams
pie of faith cure ever
heard of in this section
took place Monday in South
ampton county Va Mrs. Joe Tom
Barham, wife of leading
merchant i'll Capron, was a helps
less invalid for more than six
months. She could not feed
herself nor sit up in bed. The
most expert physicians i'll that
community had given her case
up. It was no use to give any
more medicine, they said. Hers
was a hopeless case, and her
death was only a matter of a
short time.
CURED BY PRAYER.
The doctors We're wrong.
Faith stepped i'll and did the
work after human agencies had
failed. At 3 o'clock Monday
morning Mrs Barhaln woke her
husband and told him she want
ed to get up and walk around
the house. Mr.. Barham thought
his wife was delirious. Not>
Withstanding his protests, Mrs.
Barham jumped out of bed and
walked about the room as MIN bly,
as a 16-year-oId girl. Mr.. Bar
nam looked Oh in astonishment;
he could hardly believe his eyes.
There was his wife, whom he
thought would soou be a corpse
gliding about the room declaring
that she was painless.
GREAT REJOICING.
Monday the news of the mir
aculous cure spread like wild
fire. There was great rejoicing
around Capron and vicinity, for
Mrs. Barha1f1 was we'll liked, and
her friends had never expected
to see her walk again. She got
up at 9 o'clock, dressed herself
and went down in the parlor,
which was a scene OF thanks
giving. There was continual
reception. The hostess says she
never felt better, and it is hoped
the cure will be permanent. The
doctors don't know what to say.
The ministers are puzzled. So
is everybody else. The whole
of Capron is talking about the
seeming miracle.
FOR A MOTHERS SAKE.
The cure is looked upon as a
direct answer to prayer. Mrs.
Barham father, Mr.. Daniel
died last week, and she prayed
to be we'll that she might CONS
fort her old mother. Her prayer
was answered.
This story looks too 1niracu
lous to be true, but it is authen>
tic. 1t was told by Mr.. George
w. T-uitt, the wealthiest and
one of the most reliable citizens
of Suffolk. He was in Capron
Monday.
