Teachers Institute.
The Teachers Institute for the
year 1910, will be held at the
Public School building in Steph-
enville Dec. 19th to 23d, both in-
clusive. This is the arrange-
ment of Miss Perry and I do not
feel disposed to make any changes
in the dates she selected.
A program will be annonced
next week through all the coun-
ty papers. It is hoped that all
teachers will urge their trustees
to have a representative present
at the meetings, if the entire
board cannot attend.
The 'Teachers’ Institute is a
source of Inspiration for the real
teacher and the teacher who neg-
lects its sessions is the one who
will soon pass out of the profes-
sion. The ever alert trustee is
ready to discard the teacher who
fails to atterM the meetings that
pertain to his lifeless calling.
Watch for the program to fol-
low iq issue of this
paper. Very respectfully,
W. G. Sears,
County Superintendent.

A delicate operation was per-
formed last Si in day in a sanita
rium at Abilene. It consisted in
the transfusion of blood, and was
one of the few operations of its
kind ever performed in this state
When E. C. Peeples, formerly
of this city, but now residing at
Hasse, learned that his wife was
suffering from pallegra, and that
the-only treatment that offered
any hope for her life was the
transfusion of blood from the
body of a healthy person to her
veins, he determined to test its
efficacy if it took every cent he
had. Local physicians, assisted
by others from Comanche, at-
tempted to perform the opera-
tion, but owing to defects in
their instruments^ it was not
successful, and he was advised
to take his wife to Abiline, where
a sanitarium was known to be
equipped with all the necessary
apparatus.
Mr. Peeples, accompanied by
his wife, passed through Dublin
Thursday of last week, and upon
examination by the Abilene phy-
sicians, it was agreed that the
transfusion of blood was the on-
ly treatment that offered any
hope whatever of saving her life.
Mr. Peeples offered himself for
the test and the arteries of the
two were allowed to Alow two
hours and three minutes. It is
believed that the operation will
prove successful and the patient
will recover. — Dublin Telephone.

We announced some prices last week anti nmd when ynn-

could make such prices, and so you iiRve come in by the
scores and made purchases of us and remarked: “Well I

The secret of selling goods cheap is to buy at the right
place and at the right price. We want to give you a few
