growth on the left eyeball and in
cutting it out a splinter about
half an inch in length was found
next 70 the ball under the eyelid.
This is what caused the tumor.

was performed as we'll as it could

Prof. Aswell, delivered for
the edification of the teachers
engaged in the work in this

received and highly appreciated
by the audience. Prof. Aswell
spoke in his usual entertaining
manner and his address contained
much valuable Information for
those who are interested in the
great revolution now beginning
to take definite shape in the ed
ucational systems of the south.
In the afternoon Prof. Aswell
lectured to a falr-sized audience
composed of teachers and school
patrons. This lecture was di-
rected principally to patrons, but
was equally interesting to the
teachers. 1t was interspersed
throughout with spicy anecdotes
and illustrations which made the
stern truths related by the lectur-
er move forceful and penetrating.
Prof. Aswcll stands among the
foremost educators of the South

Of educational work wherever he
he has labored. His address on
this occasion was particularly
appropriate and will result in
much good to the cause of educa-
ton in this immediate section by
reason of tue trouble in school
matters, which was adjusted only
a few days before Prof. Aswell's
visit. 1t Is hoped that much and
lasting good will result from these
lectures.
