Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out scraped and polished and put
back, or they may beremoved entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the place
Of diseased sections Of veins; antiseptic
dressings are appliedt to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before inaam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one.
third the time required by the old
treatment, Chamberlain Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
~antiseptic and when applied to such in.
iuries, causes them to heal very quick
". It also allays the pam and soreness.

and it will save you time and money,
not to mention the Inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries entail.

Congress Is not the only power

rosch imported FIVE European
musicians, and the musicians, and.
the musical Union taxed him 5000
apiece for them. OF course, we
should have none but American
musicians-though nearly all we
have came here from Germany and
and POlahd-none but American
artists, and only American books.
If any American attended a for
eign university he should be re-
garded as taxable on his retnrn.
he ought to have spent his money
at some American college. But
it does look a little odd for the
Americans who got here two or
three years ago to impose heavy
taxation upon the Americans who
only got here this year.

1Re Middleton Peck Wedding
At Pomona.

At high noon on Wednesday, May
24th, at the home of the bride, Rev
Edward Bull officiating, Miss Fannie
Tallmadge Peck, only daughter OF
DR.. and Mrs. S. h. Peck, was mar
ried to Mr.. Courtland Christopher
Middleton of the firm of Middleton
Bros, all of Pomona.
The bridegroom was attended by
his brother, Mr. r. Chester Middle
ton as best man, and Miss Ona Bond
of Pnlatka was bridesmaid.
The bride was very becOmingly
gowned in white crepe, the yoke full
ly SHRED, and with wide berthas of
lace, and the pure white orange
blossoms made fine contrast with her
dark luXuriant hair. She held IA
magnificent bouquet OF white car
nations, the gift Of friend from Ma
con, Ga.
A very large gathering of guests
was in attendance, and we have
rarely seen amore pleased and joyous
company. The reception rooms We're
tastfully decorated with palmettos
and white oleanders, there were also
many magnolias, roses and other
flowers in variety. Their fragrance
was specially delightful while re-
freshments We're being served.
One room was occupied by the
tables containing the wedding pres
ents, Il large line giving pleasing evil
dence of the popularity of the young
couple, and how generally was the
bride Il favorite. They were given
by relatives and friends and neigh
bors and mates ana chums and ac-
quaintances and by her Sunday
school class.
They embraced many things useful
and elegantand valuable in cut glass,
silver and china-a beautiful set of a
hundred pieces from Brooklyn-with
table linen and miscellaneous plates,
pictures and other things delightful
and delectabIe. Some one-probably
having Just turned away from read
ing in his Bible what Solomon says
about money answering for all
things did wise thing by sending
"hard cash" Moral: go thou and
do likewisen).
Then las the westering sun began
to touch the rim Of day" and amid
the adieus of friends, and II cyclone
of rice, they boarded the north
bound train for Jacksonville, and a
weeks travel among places of inter
est III South Carolina and Georgia.
As they travel the long path to-
gether, may it ever widen and
brighten and shine more and more
unto the perfect day. b.

A Freak Pheasant.

Capt. S. M. La Bree had a pair OF
English pheasants sent him last
winter, and within the past two
weeks he has had two broods of
young pheasant's Matched out. His
difficulty, in so far as maturing. the
chicks is concerned, is said to have
lust begun. Those who have had eX-
perience in this section have invari-
ably failed to raise the chicks. Capt.
LaBree hopes to proclaim success
where all others have had to admit
defeat.
One of his broods was Matched by
bantam hen, the property of Mr..
E. d. Terry. The bantam makes a
good mother. So far these little ones
are doing exceedingly well.
But the strangest story of all is in
the Matching of the second brood,
six of which came from their shells
Monday morning last. These chicks
were Matched entirely by the cock
bird. 1t takes "a days of constant
setting to hatch pheasant eggs, and
this male bird covered the eggs night
and day during all that time, never
coming off the nest except for a mo-
ment or two at time to pick up
food Just out of reach of the nest
During all this time the setting cock
guarded his eggs as iealously as any

hen and if any one approached too
near he showed fight, arising, spread
ing his wings and ruffling his feath-
ers in unmistakable anger and alarm.
In the meantime the hen bird walk
ed about the enclosure unconcerned-
ty, laying an occasional egg, a. few
of which were deposited so near the
setting cock that he pulled them
under him and added to the number
he originally started in to hatch.
This freak-as it undoubtedly is
was watched by many people during
the hatching process and no one has
yet claimed to have heard of II SINH
lar case of the male bird officiating
as mother.
1t is known that the male ostrich
assists in the Matching Of the young
by tending the eggs at night while
the hen ostrich gets a chance TO rest
and stretch as the call goes on the
base ball bleachers, but Capt. La
Bree's pheasant did all the work of
Matching.
