Near Tragedy.

What came near being a tragic
accident occurred last week when
Miss Pearla Nettles narrowly es-
capped drowning while on a picnic
at Hayes Creek.
Pearla and her companions, all
of whom had been left with Mrs.
Rogers at her home on the creek
bank awaiting the return OF the
car which was conveying the
picnickers back to town, oecld.
ed to enjoy another swim as the
mill was in operation and the
water deep and inviting. The
current however was too swift to
be mastered and Pearla soon lost
control and her young companions
not being able able to rescue her
she sank twice and was borne
down the stream by the current.
The cries for help brought sever.
al to the scene and little Willie
Pearl Foil heroically plunged in
and swan to the rescue, fully
dressed as she was. After bring
| ing the unconscious girl to land
she was quickly revived as her
lungs had not collapsed, she not
having sunken the third time.
She was carried home without
giving alarm~to her parents but
the full seriousness of the occur
renee became known thru Pearla's
continued suffering from nausea
and weakness.
The little heroine of the occa.
sion, Willie Pearl Foil, a twelve
year old girl, is so modest in re-.
lgard to her brave action that she
appears wholly unconscious Of
having merited a Carnagie medal
for bravery, tho she has been
somewhat overwhelmed by the
Ideep gratitude of the near victim
and her parents, Mr.. and Mrs
