Gently bitten by q dog, which was

fcring from hy~drophobia, has return
ed from the Pasteur Institute at Co
lumbia and is being treated here by
DR.. B. f. Sloan. Her condition is
quite favorable for recovery without
serious results. Mrs. Goss'S home IS
IN the Salem section Of Oconee. and
II Is reported that there are a num-
Der OF dogs in that community whose
owners know that the animals are
afflicted with rabies, yet refuse to
have them killed or to keep them uD.
This, If true, is deplorable in the ex-

is a citizen of Oconee who would be
so thoughtless as to protect the life
OF a diseased dog at the possible risk
OF endangering the lives Of human
beings.

age, and at one time was one of
most substantial farmers of the Jo-
cassee section Of the county, though

his home at Newry, going from there
to Seneca, where he resided for a
short while, returning to Newry.
About two years ago he suffered a
stroke OF paralysis, from which ne
never recovered, though he was at
times able to be out. He was a
staunch member OF the Methodist
church and always took an active
part in the affairs OF the church in
the county so long as his health
would permit. In his death Oconee
has lost a substantial citizen and a
good a We join with a host OF
other friends in extending to the
bereaved family deep sypmathy.
