An ovarion tumor weighing one hun
dred and seventy pounds was taken
from the body of Miss Genie Barrett,
in Dawson county, last week. The
operation was performed by Drs. T.
L. Lipscomb, B. W. Pirkle, W. W. Pir-
kle and McGuire. This, perhaps, was
the largest tumor ever taken from a
human body and is unparalleled m the
history of medical science.
Miss Barrett lived near Larrettsville
and was tfiie daughter -oi nr. I>• acre
Barrett, a weir known citizen oi Daw
son county. She was thirty-five years
old and the tumor had been forming
fourteen years; and at one time it
would have weighed two hundred
pounds. The operation was performed
seven hours after her death, and was a
remarkable one in many respects.
Those physicians in Gainesaiile who
heard of the tumor marveled at it, and
the operation has attracted much
attention.

Judge Hiram W. Bell of Jefferson,
for twenty years Ordinary of Jackson
county and a leader of democracy in his
section, was in the city Wednesday,
lie is an ardent admirer and an old
friend of Hon. Allen D. Candler, and
the other day he was recounting some
of the incidents of the famous campaign
between Candler and Speer, which re
sulted in the election of the formey and
in the burial of independeatism forever
in the Ninth Congressional district.
; -TIie first speech Alien Candler made
in that campaign,” said .Judge Bell,
“whs at Jefferson. The narrow guage
road was then only completed to Pen
dergrass and Colonel Candler was met
there by an escort of several hundred
people and was driven to Jefferson
behind a pair of dashing greys, accom
panied by a brass band and a crowd
which had reached several thousand
when the town was neared. The leader
of the Speer forces was in my office and
when he saw the procession pass he
declared, “we can never overcome this
demonstration.” Candler spoke and
Jackson county was won. So great was
the enthusiasm the crowd, a large part
oi* it at least, accompanied him to Mad
ison and then to Athens-, and the dem
onstrations were unpai’alieled in the
history of Georgia polities.
“And that reminds me,” continued
Judge'Bell, bof a meeting in Athens
? ’;er Candler had arrived, at which a
number of his young but unscrupulous
friends were advising him to do this
thing ana mat thing to take auvantage
of Speer, which were not in accordarc -
with Colonel Candler's ideas of propriety
and. he arose then and said to them:
“Gentlemen, we must not do anything
which we will be ashamed of after the
campaign.” This is the kind of man
Allen Candler is, and everything is for
him in Jackson county.
