The sympathy of the Pearlington community goes out to the bereaved husband and sorrowing relatives. REX. (SCE 12-9-1893)
Mitchell, Dr. G. L., is a leading dentist and in his seven years of practice has proven himself capable of doing all kinds of dental work. His office is at his residence on Front Street, near Pieri's drug store. His rooms are equipped with all the appliances for doing the various kinds of work required of a modern dentist, for nothing is so progressive as science and science in dentistry has taken rapid strides. Mr. Mitchell has kept pace with the times.
He has recently made a discovery that will be of untold advantage to dentistry in the way of capping exposed nerves and he has demonstrated it so far in his experience as to show it to be perfection, and can prove all he claims for it, and that is; that will stop all process of decay and remove aching almost instantaneously. He does all kinds of work known to dentistry, makes the preservation of the natural teeth a specialty, and if they must be extracted, administers gas and makes use of local anesthetics that renders the operation almost if not wholly painless, and then he spares no pains to make you a perfect fitting artificial set.
Mr. Mitchell was born and raised in the county, and his father, J. P. Mitchell, is one of the oldest settlers in the county and still resides on his farm of 1,280 acres only five miles out, and is one of our fine citizens. (SCE 05/20/1893)
Mitchell, G. L. Dr., On our second day at the Bay one of the ladies of the party being afflicted with what is commonly known as jumping tooth ache, we were forced to make inquiries regarding the dentist of the city. It was in this way that we heard of Dr. G. L. Mitchell, and consequently the lady was escorted to his office and operating room on the corner of Bookter and Front Streets, where the offending molar was extracted without pain, and to the great satisfaction of the sufferer. Dr. Mitchell is a young married man who is a native of Bay St. Louis, and passed all of his early life along this beautiful coast.
Some ten years ago he left here for the west and after traveling about for several years he finally concluded that home was the best place after all, in which to build up a practice, consequently he established himself here three years ago and since that time his clientele has constantly been on the increase, until now he has a practice of which any young doctor might well be proud. Patients coming to him from different points of the Coast as well as from the interior country which is more than complimentary to him, as New Orleans is such a short distance away, where numerous dentists of great reputation and skill are located.
