setting the load OF wood which fell In
such a way as to pin his younger
brother Joe under the seat. The boy
was eXtricatod without injury but the

Doctors of Firm
Seek New Fields

The many personal friends OF Drs.
J. Shelley Saurman and DR.. Brunei
regret the departure OF these two ex-
eellent professional men from this
community. DR.. Saurman goes 10
South America where he assumes a
responsible position in a hospital
while DIR. Brunei returns 10 New
York TO resume his practice there
DIR. Saurman gave up his practice
here with DR.. Grifiith at the begin
ning of the war ana took his place
as a reserve In the navy where he did
his part until the armistice was
signed when he asked his discharge
that he might return home and re-
sumo his private practice. Upon re-
Turning to the field he found the work
Too hard for him and he induced DR..
Brunet. with whom he was associ-
aled in the navy. 10 join him here
during the last summer.
The attractiveness of the position
In south America induced DR.. Saur-
man TO consider II and as DR.. Brunet
had practiced I'm a larger field for
merly and the further fact that his
family prefer returning to the city,
be is arranging to close his practice
here and leave.
Or. Saurman has been in this sec
ton for a considerable time and dur
Ing that period made many warm per
sonal friends. He Is capable young
man professionally and his friends
know he will make good in his lar
Der field of labor, Although Or.
Brunet has been here but a short
time he has gained the high esteem
OF those with whom he came in con-
tact and proven his ability as a
physician and surgeon. Many OF his
friends are urging him to stay.
