Unusual Operation at Dallas Hospital

DR.. Bollman, assited by the local
fraternity performed very serious
operation known as caesarian section,
upon Mrs. jesse Barham at the Dallas
Hospital last Friday This lady was
seized with puerperal convulsions
about noon Friday and it was found
necessary to perform the operation at
once to save her life, so she was rush
ed to the hospital and operated on as
soon as possible. This is the first op-
Grafton of this kind ever performed i'll
Dallas, and so rare an operation that
it is seldom done Outside of the large
maternity hospitals of the cities. Her
nurse, Miss Thompson, assistant su-
perintendent of the Salem Hospital,
tells us that she has never known
of but one case of this kind in Salem,
in which case both mother and child
lost their lives. There has not been
perhaps over fifty of such operations
in the whole state.
Both mother and child are doing
well, the mother out of danger and
the little three pound infant doing
its part to make things lively.
Dallas has some of the best surge
ons Of the state and people are finding
it out which is the reason of the
need for increased hospital facilities
here.

Saturday Night S Fire.

Last Saturday about 7.30 p. M, the
fire alarm whistle at the mill gave its
shrill notes of warning that fire was
raging, and citizens from all quarters
directed by the glowing light hasten
ed to the scene. 1t proved to be the
home of Mr.. Will Wright, laborer,
who with his wife, was down town un-
aware that their home was in flames.
The fire had gained such headway
before it was discovered that the fire
department on its arrival directed
their attention towards saving the ad-
joining property which they succeed
ed in doing. The fire ladies done
good work, and considering the dis
tance from headquarters, made good
run. The house and contents were
total loss, Mr.. Wright fortunately
had some insurance carried in a com
