Little Eunice Beatty, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Beatty, has
had more than her share Of suffering

later, with measles and whooping
| cough, which was followed by pneu-
mOnia. 1t has been only q few weeks
| since she recovered from the latter,
and last week Drs. B. f. Sloan and
| j. w. Bell were again called to wait
| on the little girl, who is now suffer-
ing with pleurisy. An operation was
| performed by her physicians last Sat
urday and has given her much re-
| lief, but, judging by present indica-
tions, they do not hope for her re-
| COvery without a second operation
We hope the little one may soon be
| restored to perfect health.
Frank Brennecke, formerly of
Walhalla, was painfully hurt last
Saturday while on his run on the
| Soutt>"n Railway between Columbia
! and Augusta, Ga. Just as the engine
| on which Frank was firing stopped
at 65, 5,0O0-gallon watering tank to
take on water, one Of the iron bands
at the bottom of the tank gave way,
and the force Of the great amount of
water above burst the big tank in
stantly. Both the engineer and
young Brennecke were knocked
down and painfully hurt. Brennecke
Is now in the Augusta Hospital and
is getting along nicely. His brother,
| Louis A. Brennecke, left Greenwood
on hearing of the accident and is
| with him at the hospital Some idea
of the terrific force occasioned by
the sudden turning loose of $1,000
gallons Of water may be gained by
| the fact that the two freight cars
next to the engine are reported to
| have been knocked completely from
the track. Mr.. Brennecke's many
Walhalla friends hope for his speedy
| recovery from his injuries.
