NOBLE WORK.

The two children of MIR. John
Ennis, Robert Thomas aud Emma
Viola Ennis, who were bitten by
a dog last Thursday evening, was
looked into by Mayor Fournet as
sisted by some citizens, and they
came to the conclusion that there
was grave doubt as the condition
of the dog at the time it bit the
children, and on account of this
doubt aud the seriousness OF the
situation, it was thought safer to
send the children at once to the
Pasteur Institute at Atlanta, Ga,
for treatment.
Mayor Fournet called the to wn
council in special session the same
evening, and the council knowing
that Mr.. Ennis, the father of the
children did not have the means
to care for the children in this
case, decided to send the children
to Atlanta at once, to make sub
scription in town, and the council
making good the difference of the
amount needed.
Our Honorable Mayor, H. p.
Fournet, went to work to provide
the children, who were in very
poor circumstances, with the clo-
thes they required, telegraphed to
the Institute for terms ETC., and
volunteered one of his clerks, his
son, Mr.. HI. ]. Fournet to accom-
.pany the children to Atlanta.
While the Mayor was attending
to the details of the trip he ap.
pointed committee of citizens to
raise the funds by subscription
and the committee decided to place
the list in the hands of our Chief
of Police, Mr.. w. s. Thomas, and
by his zeal and energy he went to
work determined that he would
get the cash, and we are pleased
TO say, he met with generous re-
spouse from every one of our citi-
zens, they all cheerfully contribu-
ted to the subscription according
to their means, and many did not
wait for the list but sent word tc
put them down and send the col.
lector, for their contribution, and
the majority of the subscribers
told our chief if more money was
needed to call back, and in less
than three hours over two hun
dred dollars had been subscribed.
