POSTMASTER LEWIS GETTING
ALONG VERY WELL

DR.. F. n. Carrier and Mrs. NJ. s.
Raynolds returned home this morning
from S-lida where they have been in
attendance at the bedside of Post
master Lewis. They report him as get
ting along quite as well as could be
expected in view of the seriousness of
his condition and express that hope
he will pull through all right. AS
stated in these columns yesterday it is
yet too soon to assert positively that
he is out of danger, although the alb
sence of fever and the restfulness of
his condition during the last twenty
four hours lead those about him to
believe that he is gravitating in that
direction. II Mr.. Lewis vitality is such
as to serve him two or three days
more, thereby preventing fever or
other complications arising from ex-
haustion, he will have passed the cru
cial test and entered upon a period of
convalesence. His illness has called
forth many expressions of sympathy
and hope from his friends.
