Last Thursday afternoon
Jerry" the handsome bay horse
owned by A.. c. Merrick, sustained
injuries SO serious that 1T was found
necessary Friday to shoot him. The
horse was standing hitched in the
yard, and 1T Is Supposed that a bum
Bile bee stung him, when he made a
lunge forward, breaking loose both
from the post to which he was hitch
ed and from the buggy, and darted
out Of the yard, running on the side
walk to the front of the house where
the walk is some four feet above the
street level. In making the sharp
turn the horse stumbled and fell to
the street, striking on his left Shout
der, the leg being broken. Efforts
were made to save the horse, which
was a very valuable animal, but 1t
was found that, even If he could be
saved, he would be practically worth
less, and Friday afternoon he was
shot as an act of mercy.
There are numerous friends of
Frank e. Harrison, Jr., who will join
us In extending to him congratula-
tons upon his attainments in the
railway service, his rapid rise since
entering the service a few years e
being remarkable. Starting as an
assistant in tho railway office at Wal
halla he was promoted to an agency
on the Southern at Lexington, going
from there to a clerkship in the
auditing department at Columbia,
soon thereafter being given an as
sistant clerkship in the rate depart
ment in Charleston, where he re-
manned until the LIST Of June, when
he was transferred to the division
freight department In Augusta, Ga,
ranking as chief clerk in the depart
ment. Mr.. Harrison is one Of a
number OF young men Of whom Wal
halla is justly proud. We expect
still higher advancement for him,
and when it comes we will feel that
1t is worthily bestowed. Mr.. Harri-
son is the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
f.. E. Harrison, Of Walhalla.
