HAD A NOSE MADE.
a Chicago Doctor Makes One
for IL Chicago Man.


Herman Wade, says the Chicago Her.
aid, has had Il nose put on him and DIR.
J. T. Thoren. of the County Hospstal, is
the man who put it on.
II was chicken that furnished the
material out of which Wade's new pro-
bocis was made. Though the chicken
has departed, and the part of it that is
not nose went the way of the fry
ing pan, the patient is doing well, and
will soon be seen on the streets.
Making the new nose was long and
complicated operation. The doctor cut
a little slit in the middle of the young
mans face, where the nose ought to
have been, and turned the skin back.
Then he took Il Young hen and laid bare
the flesh under the wing. Wade's face
and the chickens breast were then
bandaged tightly together. and the two
had to live together for eleven days.
The chicken got the best things to eat
which the county hospital had, and
every care was taken To pr went its dy
ing.
Before long even the doctor couldn I
tell where Wade left off and the chicken
began. Then another operation was
necessary. Enough flesh for good
sized nose was cut out of the chicken $
breast. and was quickly shaped and
moulded until il suited the doctors ar
tistic eye. Then over it was put COW
ering of skin from the mans breast and
the work was done. When Herman
Wade got over the effects of the chloro-
form there was his nose waiting for him.

tion rs appointment clerk in the treas

formers claiming that the appointee
was not a fit man for the place. After
the affair had. 20 certain extent, been
forgotten Mr.. Higgins resigned.
Ii is said he made very excellent
official. Senator Wilson of this county
although not an admirer of Mr. Higgins.

officials in Washington during President
Cleveland's administration

THE FRUIT GROWERS
CONVENTION.

THE meeting of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society at Smyr-
ma last week was a very inter
esting event and it is SAID by
those i'm attendance to have
brought out ideas which. if
adopted by our farmers. will
save them thousands of dollars.
We are surprised that so few of
the people of Worcester at
tend these meetings. when the
benefits are SO great. We sure
ly cannot keep abreast of the
times in agriculture if we do not
listen To the views and expert
ences of others.
Mr.. j w. Kerr is one of the
enterprising and very success
full farmers of Caroline County.
He attended the meeting in
Smyrna and gave the delegates
a good talk about marketing
their fruit. He gave a history
of the freight charges. and he
maintained that the grower
had given a large percentage of
his sales TO pay for transporta-
ton. In many instances, he
said. it took the entire sales.
leaving the farmer nothing. He
then turned his attention to the
commission men, and said the
open markets of today are
simply colossal bucket shops.
where the producers rights have
little, if any consideration. The
consignment of the growers
products in the hands of strang-
ers at distance is simply
licensing them to rob. and sell
dom indeed is such license
abused. We have he said. IA
remedy Everything should be
sold at the point of shipment.

Using for buyers to visit your

ducts at the shipping point if
YOU have To drive 10 miles to
reach a buyer.
