The great holiday, Christmas,
was passed in the usual way in
our lively little village. The old
folks went to church and listened
to a fine sermon by the new pas.
tor Of the Methodist church, Rev.
s. A. Brown. The young people
gave presents to their sweethearts
and talked about the little blue
eyed, curly haired God, Cupid.
The boys popped fire crackers
and made as much racket as pos
slble. There was but one acct
dent worthy Of notice, George
Leonard had the misfortune to
let a cannon cracker explode in
his right hand which was badly
lacerated and burned. He is now
doing we'll.
A notable event of Christmas
day was the elegant and sumptu-
Gus dinner given by Mr.. L. M.
Clark to a party ofhis old friends,
which included Hon. J. s. Kill
patrick, Col. G. F. Bass, Capt.
Jas. Kincannon, DR.. Spencer,
Senator l.. 7. Taylor, Mr.. G.. w.
Daugherty and MI. Theadore
Starlight. The dinner was superb
and was beautifully served by
Mrs. Clark and her accomplished
daughters, Misses Adele and
Edith. The day was happily spent
by the family and guests. A
financial contest was conducted by
Mrs. Clark, after dinner, the
prize being won by Capt. Kincan-
non.
We r panied to record that
our popular townsman, Mr.. r. H.
Boothe, was called during the
holidays, to his old home near
Pulaski, Tenn. upon the sad miss
ion of attending the funeral of his
venerable mother, Mrs. NJ. E.
Boothe, who died at her residence
near Marbut, Tenn. Dec. %, 1902.
Mrs. Boothe had lived for over two
thirds of a century in the home
where she died. She was truly
a mother in Israel and was great
ly beloved by all in the communi-
ty. We sympathize with Jul
friend and his family in their sad
bereavement.
Messrs Clark and Walker had a
contest during the week for the

the prize being a beautiful doll,
valued at $15. The voting a

The action before the court is brought in

hard labor upon Rhea as punishment.
The attorneys for Rhea argued that this

The Events of Friday.

(By the Associated Press)
Rome. July 10.-The Popes marvellous
vitality still permits him to maintain his
struggle against death, although por-
tion of the night was passed in sleepless
waiting. He greeted his doctors this morn
ing with hopeful expressions. It was de-
oided to perform another operation. which
was executed by Dr. Mazzoni, assisted
by DIR. Lapponi. The patient was visibly
relieved and soon/after arose. sat in his
arm chair. and read his favorite Latin
poet, Horace. The usual light nourish-
ment was taken at noon and the Pope
then lay down for a long rest. Although
there is intense public anxiety the neigh
borhood of the Vatican and st. Peters is
comparatively quiet.
The Pope rose at O'Clock this morn
ing He said he thought the air of his
room was somewhat yltiated, and want
ed it changed. An attendant, Pho Centra,
after having been authorized to do so by
Dr. Lapponi, opened the windows of the
whole apartment. including that of the
sick room, the Pontiff had previously
been carefully covered with extra blank
cts After remaining open for a short
time the windows were closed. with the
exception of the window of the sick room.
DR.. Lapponi having decided that the
balmy, fresh air could only do the pa
tient good.
The Pope prayed for half an hour. and
then had breakfast. partaking of the yolk
of an egg. beaten up with sugar, in hot
coffee. and a light biscuit. The Pontiff
then attended to his toilet. but he did not
shave. He then received his private sec
retary, Mgr. Angel. who was again sur
prised at the Pope's brightness of mind
and display of energy On leaving the
sick room. Mgr. Angel said that the Pom
tiff referred to several different matters.

tails and remembering facts. figures and
dates with marvellous promptness, and all
this to the accompaniment of snuff taking.

ed The doctors found the condition of the
Pope not much changed. His tempera-
lure was a little above SO degrees cen
tigrade. and his pulse was oscillating be-
tween IS and 80. The Pontiff questioned
the doctors about his condition. saying
DO not deceive me. doctors, nothing
more can affect me-"
He asked if the regathering of the Sc
rum in the pleural cavity means that the
disease is growing seriously worse, and
the doctors fenced. saying that it was
one of the phases which generally reoccurs
several times during an attack.
Then" said the patient, "a new oper-
alton is necessary"
I'VE will see" answered Lapponi, and
Mazzoni added: "Your Holiness knows
that the operation is not dangerous in
itself"

cally injected and DIR. MaZzoni inserted
pravaz needle, which, by suction, drew
off the vitiated matter. The operation
was comparatively painless. and was per-
formed without recourse to chloroform or
other anaesthetics.
After the operation the Pope felt so re-
heved that he insisted on getting up, and
took several steps toward his arm chair
and seated himself for few minutes He
then arose. and going to the book shelves,
where he keeps his favorite authors took
down Horace's AIRS Poetica, returned to
the arm chair and began reading, holding
one leg over the other He seemed to
feel no i'll effects from the operation, on
the contrary he appeared to have derived
benefit from it.
Later in the day the Pope had lunch
and then took long rest. At 3:15 he
was still enjoying a restful repose, and
showing no i'll effects from the opera
ton. The neighborhood of the Vatican
was tranquil
At 4:20 all was still quiet at the yati-
can. No change of any sort was re
ported. Cardinal Rampoila did not ven
ture into the sick chamber but anxiously
inquired frequently as to the condition OF
the patient.
DR.. Mazzoni had an examination made
by microscopic of the serum taken
from the Pope's pleura on last Tuesday
to ascertain whether it contained any
specific microbe. Some doubt had arisen
as to whether the original attack of pneu-
monia had been provoked by some specific
agency such as, for instance, tuberculosis,
or cancer. The examination showed no
such microbe and the conclusion was in
evitable that the pneumonia was due, as
originally stated, to a dynamic circulation
proceeding from lack of heart strength.
