DeoUl Association recently held at Harri3
Lithia pringf:
"The most important, originnl paper read
d'iii' g'he session was that by Dr. George
? W Dick of Sumter, entitled "Dental Educa?
tion." Dr. George W. Di?-k, take bim all in
ali, is the most popular member of the asso?
ciation He s handsome and cavalier, nod
ia evidently regarded by the rougher deities
of this dental Olympus as their 300'.tr and
graceful Apollo. His paper on ''Dental Edu?
cation" was en iocoroparahiy 6ne one
broad in scope and catholic in spirit, brimful
of science, and nen in professional pride and
esprit de corps-proving Cr. Dick to be what
bf really is, not only a very accomplished
practitioner, but a broadminded benevolent
Christian gentleman

MAYOB'S COURT.

charges ?od general cussedness.
Firat c-?ro?* Minn'e Felder, a colored wo an
who w?s acquitted in the Court of G-oer^l
Sessions some 0 ontbs ago, of sbooti> g a mau
The presiding judge said he coud account
for tb acquittal m oo the ground alone that
the punciured par?? wa.s so worthless as to
be of no coosequ tice
Minnie was eccuj.ed of quarreling,using pro?
fane and indecent langUHge, and threatening
to "do up" Ephraim Washington the prose?
cutor. She ^ad the witn iSes excluded from
the court ronm, und called one ?r .* time, con?
ducted ber cros-vexaroi nation a- d fiuaily made
1? speech :n which she debared 10 the co -rt
that she was a ' honorable woman" who
didn't interfere with a?yhody, ?nd that ICyh
rairx had no riyrt-1 to 'franchise" her in ?;ny
such manner. Ther.e appeared a slight d ff-*r
en;eof opinion ?hieb the Major found it
necejflarv to reconcile with a fine of len dol?
lars or twenty days Minnie p id the fi .e
Next was Louisa Good . an, a poor, uofor
t?nate ba'tf-wit, who can curse a Mu?- pire?k
tb nt makes the air sulphurous The charge
against her was for w rr., iog the iieigb?i;r
bood in which she "purs up," with her vile
language and indecent conduct The Mayor
sentenced her to thirty days in j?il under
kind treatment-a bath and a clean dress.
Louisa S'.ys she dresses "as gocd ?s any
