DR.. L. A. Murdoch returned on
Thursday from Mansfield, La, where
he and Mrs. Murdoch were called last
week by the serious illness of their
granddaughter, little Miss Mary Bell
White, who was so i'll that she had
been carried by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. H. White, to Dr.. Hewett's
Sanitarium at Mansfield. We are
greatly pleased to learn from DR..
Murdoch that while the baby is yet
right sick he feels satisfied she is out
Of danger and will soon be on the
road to recovery. This news is learned
with much pleasure by our people,
who feel greatest interest in the little
lady, as they do in her mother, who
is native Of our town and spent her
girlhood among US, leaving here a
happy bride. Mr.. and Mrs. White live
at Naborton, La.
