The case of Commonwealth against William Gaither, for breach of the peace,
was called at 10 o'clock this morning, but owing to the absence of the
Commonwealth's witnesses was continued till this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

late for our paper today.
Yesterday in the County Clerk's office, Esquire G. B. Payne united in
marriage Mr. S.W. Lowry and Miss A.A. Oldham, both of the Smith's Grove
neighborhood. George makes a fine parson and is sure to join loving parties
in as firm bonds as is anybody. He is getting a reputation in that line
second only to Judge Cooksey's.
Yesterday the advertising real estate firm had a fine opportunity to sell
a farm of 125 acres near the city. The price offered for such a one was
$60 per acre. Thus it appears that if those who desire to sell, and there
are many of them, had the forethought to advertise with the firm mentioned
they could very quickly obtain their desires.
During the last few days chills and bilious fever have occupied the attention
of our physicians here. The sudden change from hot, dry weather to the
October like coolness developed what malaria there was in many people's
systems and gave them the shake. A good many cases have appeared but it
is only temporary and due to the cause mentioned.

A Painful
Operation.
For some
time past Mrs. Belle Coleman, of this community, has been a sufferer from
caries of the tibia, more familiarly known as ulceration of the shin bone.
The disease has gradually been growing worse and yesterday, with the advice
of her physicians, she submitted to a very painful operation. Chloroform
was administered and incision was made to the bone, when the ulcerated
portion was chiseled off and the wound dressed. It is thought that much
relief will ensue from the removal of the deceased portion of the bone.
She is resting quite easily to-day and will doubtless be much benefited
by the operation.
