First Operation For Appendicitis.
Dr. Carl Webber, still practic
ing in New York city, performed
in 1866 the first operation for
appendicitis. There was no
knowledge of stomach cuttings
at that time. The operation was
performed without antiseptics.
The instruments and appliances
were comparatively primitive.
The patient is alive and well in
New York today.
EXPERIENCE OF A YOUNG MAN.
"The housekeeping went to
pieces," says Francis C. Wilson i
in the Woman's Home Companion
for January; "we spent every
cent of my salary, and on ac
count of the doctor's bills I had
scarcely a balance of three hun
dred dollars in the savings bank.
At the office, too, things were
not going well. The firm had
changed hands, and the new
partners, of a driving suspicious
type, were anything but wel
comed. One day the senior of
them thought that he discovered
a mistake in my work; he would
listen to nothing, speaking in
sultingly and with threats of dis
missal. Eighteen months before
I should have resigned, confident
that I could get another good
position. But my hostages to
fortune had made me cowardly.
I dared not risk even what look
ed like a certainty. I listened
with hatred in my heart to all
he said, and when he added,
"Get out of here now, and don't
let it happen again or you can
get out for good,' I went back
to my work in the drafting room.
Later in the day he sent a scrawl
by an office-boy saying : that he
had been mistaken this time,
but perhaps it was just as well
for his force to know how he
would feel if a blunder really
happened. This substitute for
an apology (only made my rage
blacker, before the day closed,
salaries were cut ten per cent.
"I could not go home at once
to Amy. 1 sent a message that
I could not return for dinner
and I set cut for a long walk.
Instinctively I walked toward
my old home, and strange enough
to me it was to feel that it was
my father I was seeking. Not a
clever man, my father, and up
to this time I had felt destinctly
superior to him. But how I was
going to him because he was the
best person I knew. I went to
him now, like a woman, for
strength. We 3aid nothing much,
but I believe that in some way
he felt some arrears of filial al
legiance going out to him."
IN MEMORIAM.
Mr. Rassie Craven, son of W.
S. and Elizabeth Craven died of
typhoid pneumonia in Greens
boro December 27, 1909 and the
remains were brought to his
father's Dec. 28. His body was
quietly laid to rest in the: ceme-
trey at Holly Springs Dec. 29th
to await the resurrection thorn.
He was a deaf mute, 22 years
and three months old and had
been sick only two weeks. All
was done for him that was possi
ble by physician, loving parents,
faithful and untiring friends but
nothing could be done by them
to relieve his suffering until tho
Savior came and took him to his
home above where no pain nor
sorrow sin nor death can come.
Rassie was a good christian
boy. He was educated at Mor
ganton D. & D. school. It can
well be said that he was loved by
all who knew him. . He was al
ways our pet and loved by every
one. He leaves a father and
mother five sisters and three
brothers to mourn their loss.
It had not been the -writers
privilege to be with him for a
few months but the last time he
visited us he told us that he was
a child of God and he said he
was a life child for Jesus.
Rassie treated every one kindv
ly and honestly and had a smile
for everybody.
All is dark in our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we loved so dearly,
Has for jve passed away.

What I A Gentleman?
What is a real gentleman is
thus defined by an eastern ex
change: "A man that's clean
inside and out; who neither looks
up to the rich nor down on the
poor; who can loose without
squealing and who can win with
out bragging; who is considerate
of women, children and old peo
ple, who is too brave to lie, too
generous to cheat, and who takes
: his share of the world and lets
j other people Lave theirs. "
CENSUS APPLICATIONS FORMS.
Those f r Enumerators Received by
the District Supervisor.
Census Supervisor A Turner
Grant, Jr., whose office is at
Mocksville, N. C. has received
from the Census Bureau a sup
ply of blank applications for
persons applying for positions
as census enumerators. These
will be forwarded to his list of
applicants as soon as possible.
The applications, properly fill
ed out, must returned to the
Supervisor not later than Janu
ary 31, the Census Director hav
ing extended the time for filing
from January 25, which was the
date first set for closing the con
sideration of applications. The
"test" will occur February 5, as
previously announced.
The instructions printed on the
application form state that a
definite answer is required to
each of the questions.
Indorsements of each appli
cant must, be secured from two

least 21 years of age and ac
quainted with the applicant not

the duties of a census enumera
tor, if appo nted.

TO HONOR THE CONFEDERATE
RANDOLPH
We have set our hands to the sacred task of recting-:.ini the
town of Asheboro, near our beautiful new courthousei a-monument
to commemorate the bravery and valor of the Confederate Soldiers
of Randolph County who fell in the war between- the States.. .
Love for our county and loyalty to the men who nobly died fer
Southern liberty and independence impel us to tfya undertaking
It is true indeed that the Confederate Soldier needs no costly tomb
to glorify his memory since the whole Southland is his sepulcher,
and the people for whom he laid down his life have prepared for
him, in their own hearts, an imperishable rnWnional. Bat:; there
are deep' and sacred sentiments which demand a material expression
of our reverence for their memory, and our adjuration foe their
self-forgetting devotion to duty. V Kv,
A due regard for posterity demands it, lest the lesson of their
heroism and the purity of their patriotism be net duly impressed
upon the generations that will come after us.
In every county in cur state there should stand a memorial in
bronze or stone that the heroic deeds of the Southern Soldiers may
never be forgotten. We feel that there should be erected at. our
county's capitol, under the shadow of our new "Temple of Justice
a shaft of noble proportions, worthy of the ; spot; worthy:; of 7 the
illustrious deeds of our Confederate Soldiers,: .'and worthy of the
people of the county. ; ;:V.
We would that all men in looking upon it might feel that it was
a fit expression of the glory of the dead and of-the love and rever
ence of the people for whom they died. It wiftf speak to genera
tions yet unborn of the simple loyalty and su&lime consts&c.of
he Soldiers of Randolph county who fought without row
who died for a cause that was to them the embodiment of i lifterty
and sacred right. And now, citizens of Randolph county; , in: the
name of our heroic dead and for the honor of our county, we ap
peal to you to aid us in our undertaking.
It is fitting that this monument to the hQupr of the Soldier of
Randolph county should represent the devotion of each and. every
citizen of our county. Surely the kindred of -those who gave, their
best and bravest men to the standard of the Soth in that tremen
dous struggle should be eager to contribute their part to t sum
necessary to erect, here in full view of the capitol of the county;
a shaft worthy to commemorate the valor and ? the. virtue of those
heroic men whose deeds have never been surpassed, and who have
shed imperishable renown on their county and; the commands, un
der whose banners they fought. The Randolph Chapter Daughters
of the Confederacy, appeal to you by the sacred moznories of that
lost cause, and by the honor due to our glorious dead to make a
prompt and liberal contribution to further th&vorthy achievement
of so honorable an enterprise. ''
