On last Saturday it became apparent
that difficult and serious surgical opera
ton had become necessary for the health,
and perhaps life, of Mrs. w. T. Gillespie
From a diagnosis of the case DIR. K. b.
GILLESPIE vas convinced that delay would
be dangerous, and he proceeded to per-
form the operation. He was assisted by
DIR. Conway Hall, of North Tazewell, and
DR.. Will Painter, of Liberty. The opera
ton was one that few years ago was cou-
sidered extremely hazardous, and even in
modern surgery is looked upon as very
serious. We are glad to announce that
the operation wa7 not only successful, but
that the patient is now doing splendidly
and has passed what is believed to be the
crisis. Some of our razewell physicians
are showing much skill in surgery; and il
is a great blessing to the people to have
physicians at home, who can act in al
emergency with as much skill as those WHIT

Washington, June 2S.-Secretary Alger,
Adiutant General Corbin, and Colonel
Bird, assistant quartermaster general IN
charge of transportation, had an hours
consultation with the President today re-
lative to the question of reinforcements
for General Otis. A definite decision has
been reached to continue recruiting men
at all the recruiting stations for service in
the Philippines, and Secretary A'ger said,
when he left the White House after tue
conference that General Otis would have
40 900 men when the rainey season closed
for a resumption Of active operations.
There are seventy recruiting stations in
the United States, and enlistments are to
be taken at all of these stations. The en-
istments are to be for service in the regu-
lar army, and recruits are to be organized
into regiments or assigned to regiments
already formed ai,er enlistment. No or
CARNATIONS as such are to be accepted, il
sufficient recruits can be obtained by reg.
ular enlistment.
Gen. Corbin said the enlistments should
be for three years, although the law fol
the creation of the provisional army Of
$4,000 in excess of the regular army o.
65, 900, provides only for such force un
til 1901.
Arrangements are to be made at once
for increasing the transportation facilities
as is necessary to get these additional
troops to the Philippines.
