pied" Not a word was said, but

they go. Our devil" has cOnSum-

A letter from his sister, Mrs.
Wild, Of Charlottesville, informs Us
that Mr. H b Wood. the young
man who has been associated with
us in the office for three or four
wears, is i'll from appendicitis, his
condition being so serious that an
operation was found necessary.
When Mr. Wood left us three weeks
ago to spend a month at his home
at Charlottesville, he appeared to
be in his usual gnod health. and
we, as well as his numerous friends
here, were shocked to learn OF his
sickness, but it is hoped that ne
may speedily recover.
In the Richmond Evening Lead
err a special from Charlottesville
states that Mr. Wood was operated
on at the University hospital and
that the operation was successful
but that periotonitis had developed
and his condition was precarlous.
His relatives from Gordansyille
were summoned to his bedside.
Later-A phone message directly
from the University hospital this
morning (Thursday) at 8 o'clock
brings US the very gratifying news
that Mr. Wood is doing nicely.
Rev. w S Trimble preached last
Sunday morning at Pisgah, and in
the Monterey Presbyterian church
Sunday night. Mr. Waylan of
Swope accompanied him to the
county. MIR Trimble is Virginian,
but has been living in Missouri for
number Of years. He desires,
however. to return to his native
state on account of his wife's health,
and it was with the view to calling
HIM to the Presbyterian churches
here, that he was invited to make
the visit and preach for the con-
gregations.
