Jr. Editor: Possibly some of your readers nay be interested in some re iniscenses from an old confed rate in which a comparison is rawn between his experience in iospitals of the dates above men ioned, for it so happens that vithin the chequered scenes of ife I have had experience in hem, of both dates. On the 28th [ay of Jnly 1864, in a battle )etween Federals dismounted avalry and threa brigades of ,onfeerate infantry, to wit: ja ne's North Carolina, McGowa's ind Kersh.w's South Carolina, t or near a place ca'.led New Jarket Heights. some twelve or ourteen miles below Richmond, .a., on the north side of the Fames River, and Deep Bottom from which latter place we had een shelled out the day before )v Gun Boats on'the river) I was vounded by a minnie ball, which esulted in amputation of my eft arm that same evening about unset, at the Field Hospital, by )r. Simon Baruch, our Battalion urgeon, who by the way iarried a winnsboro girl, Miss Volfe. On this occassion I was put uder the influence of chloro rm, which I recall produced a ery happy sensation, as I sank to insesibility amid the seem ig tinkling of myriad soft, sweet >nea little bells . I have no collection of any spain con ected with the operation. Just ere let me say what seems ,range to those who have not perienced the amputation of a or arm, that the sensation of ie extremities, whether fingers toes remains during Jife. ter more than forty years I 111 feel it. On the next day I was re oved to the Jackson Hospital Richmond, wbere I remained 3ring the long hot mouth of ugust. I was WrW fprtynate an hundreds of my comrades, having for my nurse a member my own company, whose emory will ever be precious to e; I refer to Davia Gladney, Lbo was as kind and attentive id tender with and toward me emingly, as if he had been my -other. There were no trained nurses eu; soldiers vh werq oonva ert from sickness or wounds, )t able to go to the front, re detailed for nurses, and me of them were quite effi ent considering their limited >portunities and the lack ~medicines and other neces ry appliances for comfort, in dyt to the popdlitions then pre .iling in the Sou;th, What was itfered by many a poor wounded sick soldier ia Confederate spitals has never been and can] ver be told, AveU granting that' r people did the best they ud. Many a soldier went c to his command at the front ~fore he vag cn red,prerm 0 diangers3 a ra c* 20 I ciies of the fiheld and canmp to Le tre;atment he receve'd in the >spital; I say this in no fault 2ding spirit. I ouly state facts. ur dear goor women (Goud bless em) did all in their power to nehorate the sufferings of their yand other women's loved ones, :a pher ;arms were too short d their meis too litited to ach all. Happy beyondde ription the father, husband, other, or sweeIheart, who was >fortunate as to get a farlough me, where he could have the inistrations of these angels of ry. We will for a shiort while con der the n~ow, referred to in the adig of this letts. As j; ei knowu no rmany of my friends, fell to my lot, under Divine rovidence, as I believe, and ;on the alvice of resident Eisicans her', to go to Bal nore, where there are doctors 'large ex perience and emiuent, tecess in surgery, for treatm~ent d a eritical operation. O'i outof my son being at the edical school of the University1 Mryiand, and his having it ten LUe of the connection af ac ugo in that hospital in lepro of Dr. iandlph inlw I went there. The alum'fbia Stete said I was iu the olhn HoIcpkins: this was a mis ?.ke for which I aig not respon ible. as my letter was not pub shed. Leaving Columbia in e evening of Jan. 29th., by the ,A. L, Ry., I arrived in Bal more on the afternoon of the thour train being about four .ours late. I reported at the ospital next mo~rrnng and at ee placed m sself under Dr. Vinslow's treaanmt. On the rd., day of February after horoug' emmination and pre paration,1 was taken from my room and hoisted on an elev-ator to the operating room, placed on the table, an ether eap placed over my face and in less than two minutes I should say, I had lost consciousness and was utterly oblivious to all surroundings, the sensation produceI by tLe in halation of ether issomnewhat. similar, though not exactly the samle as that by ejloroforn. it seems to ine that the ether acts quicker, and I sauk into a Iwo found sleep without any tinkling of bells or other seusation; and in my case there was no nauseat ing after effoets, as produced by chloroform or morphine. After the operation, which, though terribly severe, I did not feel, I was returned to my room and laid on the bed, :,a Charies, my son who, witnessel the operation undertook to arouse me from my death like slumber by calling; "papa! papa',' and slapping my fac2 and .shaking me. After awhile I heard his voice, as if he were a great dis tance away, and finally I was enough awake to ask how long before the operation, and be answ-ered: "oh! it is all over," From that time on until I left the hospital, which was the night of the 1st., of Mar., I found myself in the hands of traind riurses, modest, polite and unassuming young la.ies, who were to me as ministering angels of mercy day and night. I had but to touch a button at the head of my bed and one would coni-d and wait on me as kindly and tenderly, as if she had been my own daughter. And they did it all so unpretentiously, without any official stiffness. I under took once or twice to apologize for disturbing them 6o often, especially at night, but the reply was, it is no trouble, I am here for that purpose and no apology necessary. Dr. Winslow and his assistant, young Dr. Charles Bagley, were I also kind and very attenti-e to I we and were always very polite. The kind treatment that I received at this hospital, with the fact ! that'my son saw m- :era times t every day, went far towards sooth- t ing the pain and separation from I home and loved ones. I make 3 no comparsion bctween this and I othrr hospitals of t!:e present day. I suppose they are ll >ratty't4guch 'on the sanaelie but I will say, that I1 do uot b ieve the University Hospital of Batitnore is inferior in any of its ppointments, whether as to c octors, trained nurses, good food or any otber provisicn fori he comfort or convenience of its r atients, to any other institution ? f its hind North or Scutl. The ave on an average about two I undred patients daily. I The University of Maryland is n old institution, founded in 107 and will celebrate its cen ennial next year. The hospital onnected therewith was founded i everal years later, abhut 1823,1 ~ate oi the :Miical College con- i ~eted with? the ~i-uiversity, and I as been a ''rofes-or and operat ng surgeon there for twenty odd I yars. Dr. Charles Bagley, who tended me after the operation s also a gra luate of the Medical ollege and assistant to Dr. Winslow. In conclusion let me say in the ratnent of woundcs during the ar at the general hospitals, it as expected there should be a ~uppuration or discharge from he wound of puss and bloody orrupt ma:tter. it is quite dif ferent now, the only treatment eiug to keel) the wound cleani ad let nature do the balance, by hat is called in surgical )Lrlance,: first' 'intention.

Big Advertisements. .Tot a year :go the News and He r( i publisO A its first full page adwr .smint; and as this was a ew dLeparture, it attracted a ure- dtal of attention on the part of all its readers. It was som, t.ijn entirely inew as far as this pr'per was concerned. The firim, etch ai Mercantile Compny, who made this new departure, were highiy pieased with the re sults that came tO them in a practical business way from this large advertisement. This first big full page advertisement was run frr four weeks without chan y. A littie later thie same firm :sed a half-page advertise men . a featunre which was by no means .wW. With the opening of the fa! seasom they used a full pag. ajdvertisement again for two times in succession and just in a few wmeks repeated the same dose. Another merchant then camne in with a full page ad vertisement . and serval otbers both in Winusboro and in other towns followed with half page advertisements. Then in the beginning of the year the Cald well Dry Goods Company came in with a two page adyertise ment that was a good one sure and others followed with full and half page advertisements. Within the past twelve months there have appeared in the News and Herald twelve full page ad vertisements and a good many more half page ones. There is not a single one of tliese large advertisements that has not attracted some attention on account of the good display. This illustrates how well the aiews and Herald office is quipped for handling these arge advertisements in a manner hat will make them profitable to. :he advertisers. NoV only is :heie the necessary 'ype, etc., but io pains are spared to get all ad -ertisements up in the best )ossjble maner. Jr4st see the argo advertiseinnts in this issue 's an illustration.

Most Gratifying Has been the result of our efforts to supply the trading public with a higher grade of furniture than ever before brought to the Winnsboro market. Even our most sanguine expectations have been more than met. For instance that large lot of Fine Rock ers which we bought with hesitation are now about all gone and we are daily expect ing a larger and more varied shipment of Rockers of the same high grade, and even finer ones. As to Mattresses, espe cially those of the higher class, the demand has been very unexpected, and it has been necessary to make a third big order, and these ase now expected. Those beautiful H a l R a cks too have been selling ex ceptionally well and still others are coming in. In fact the demand for all kinds of- Fur niture of the higher grades has been such that we shall spare no pains' to keep at all times the very best in every line. When you are wanting strictly hi'gh grade furniture, you can't do better than come here, and you will find this the best place too for the best medium grade furniture forithe money. How about a Washing Ma chine? The best one on the market. Try it and return it, if you are not pleased. H. E. KETCHiN. ANOTHER CARLOAD OF Owensboro Wagons Just in.
