AN OLD WOUND.
Suffering From Injuries Re-
ceived a Month Ago.

About one month ago Charlie, the
10year. old son Of G. Jones Ligon, was
in buggy driving down Broad street,
when some boys threw rocks at him,
one of them causing an ugly wound on
Tommy Ligon's forehead. In few
days the wound healed and no more was
thought about it until about ten days
ago, when the boy would complain at
times of eXcruciating pain in his head
so that he had to be taken away from
school, Physicians who have examined
the boys forehead believe that nerve
has been seriously injured, but cannot
state whe he will cease to suffer.
