Washington, Feb. 25.?Senator Tillman has improved to the point where he is permitted by his physician to receive visitors. The stipulation is, however, that he shall receive only one visitor a day. To-day he was told this and was asked who he would like to see. He said he wanted to see his old friend, Bacon, of Georgia, the senior senator from that State, whose office in the capltol adjoins that of the senior Sooth Carolina Senator. Senator Bacon called this afternoon at the Tillman apartments and had a short talk with his friend. Senator Tillman has been talking a good deal with various members of his family the past few days, which shows that either the leaking of blood on the brain was overestimated or that the blood clotting has been absorbed much more rapidly than was supposed possible. It is even believed now that probably no blood at all leaked from the raptured blood vessel, tbe leakage, if any, being only the watery serum in the artery. =3 l_XODO ILL= PA w a mk id of Hones and Mu to get more and get ' nice ones, and they Ty just that sort of best will suit them, t buy from us not who are so fortunate i Horses and Mules, 4 ' nf Rurrmot v* ??551Vi ss, &c. liing in our lin ide as liberal as ght in every res; MOB ATTACKS NEGRO SECTION.
