TIIE PEANUT INDUSTRY.
Derommr Important for Producing
Oll.nnd Food
The Press Visitor a day or two
ago published a short paragraph in
reference to a peanut oil factory,
which is in operation at Norfolk.
It is of interest to know that the in
ventor and patentee of the machine
ry used in this industry is Mr. W E
Weathcrly, who is a son-in law of
our townsman, Mr. OJ Carroll,
and ia also General Manager and
Secretary and Treasurer of tbe Nor
folk factory, an extensive concern
with 860000 capital. The parties
interested have also formed a stock
company at Pittsburg, -Pa., to oper
ate a plant on an extensive scale.
The oil made from tbe peanut is of
j'frvery superior grade and is of two
kiiids, one being a salad 011 lor tame
use and the other a lubricating oil
for machinery. A flour is also made
trom the kernel which is said to be
very tne tor food, and in pursuance
of the .principle of utility in politi
cal economy tbe bulls are also used.
A mixture of one portion of flour
and two of the bulls makes a very
fine stock food. Tbe Norfolk plant
has proven a thorough success un
der the superintendency of Mr.
Weatherly and to judge from res jlts
the peanut industry promises to be

Cenbnnial Exposition are tbe
svord, sashes and pia'ol of Gn. N
B Forrest and other mementoes of
the most famous blade tf modern
tint's, as with it its omer literally
heved his way to fame, starting his
military caieer at a private and win
uing way his step by step to lieu -
tenant general of cavalry, the high
est in tbe cavalry service. Tbe
sword, unlike the most of the 8
worn by military officers of high
rank was evidently intended for ac
tual service.and not merely as a part
of ihe insignia of rank. Tbe blade is
long and sharp and bears upon its
polish d suface the marks of aotual
service.
Ueu. rorrest s pistol, the one
worn by him throughout tbe war, is
a Colt's navy revolver of 30 calibre,
the ivory handle tf which is dis
colored with age. Like its compan
ion, the sword, it has seen much
service and is responsible for many
lives cut short in battle. Besides
the sashes worn by the Confederat
hero, there is in this collection of
Forrest relics the bullet which was
taken from the general after be ws
so severely wonnded at the battle of
Shiloh. All these relics, together
with a liny silken Confederate flag
presented to Gen. Forrest by some
lady whose name is unknown to the
surviving members of his family,
are lbe property of bis sen, Capf,
William Forrest, wbo was with bis
distinguished father from the age
of 15 years till the surrender, tw o
yeirs later. In addition to tbe
military relics of Gen. ForreBt, there
is his pardon from tbe President of
the United States. This is signed
by williaui H S;ward, Secretary of

Hewed I'p a HIhu'i Heart,
Berlin, April 25. During1 the
recent session of the Surgical Con
gress here Dr. Rehe, of Frankfort,
reported a successfnl operation upon
tbe human heart, tbe first of the
kind in the history of surgery.
Dr Rehe explained that the pa-
tient, a mac, had been stabbed to
the heart, and in tho ordinary course
his death would have been certain
in a very short time. He was, how
ever, hurried'y convejed to the hos
pital, where the doctor 'a d bare the
heart and found that there was a
wonnd in tbe right side of the organ.
He sewed np tbe orifice m id 3 by tbe
stabber and then applied the general
trtatment for arresting the hemjr
rhage. The heart worked violently
during the operation, but despite the
commotion of the organ the patient
made good progress and soon re
covered.
