Regains Her Voice As If by Miracle
A Seaboard bagoagemaster, on
whom the writer relies for news along
the line between Monroe and Atlanta,
is showing an Abbeville, S. c., dis
patch that tells about modern mir
acle. "The days of miracles" it
reads, "are not passed. Five months
ago Mrs. c. B. Wosmoansky Of Abb
bevile, suddenly and without the
least warning lost her voice, medical
advice was sought from local doctors
and then specialists from a distance
were consulted. Nothing seemed to
do any good, and for five months
communication with pencil and pad
was the best that could be done.
arrangements wqe being made
for Mrs. Wosmoansky to leave Sat-
urday for Spartanburg, to have the
extended care of a specialist in the
treatment of what seemed to be the
trouble.
Saturday morning daughter,
Miss Pauline Wosmoanskv. awoke
having dreamed in the night that
her mothers voice had returned to
her. She told this dream at the
breakfast table, and kept comment

how she had cautioned her younger
sister in the dream to be careful for

cause the voice to leave again.
After the family left home for
their various duties, Mrs. Wosmoan-
sky was crossing her room when
she felt a sensation as if something
were leaving her throat. She found
that her voice had returned, and was
able to reach the telephone and COM
municate with her family. After
wards she was overcome with great
weakness, as if she had passed
through some strong ordeal.
There is great rejoicing in that
home today. Mrs. Wosmoansky is
the wife of c. B. Wosmoansky of the
Southern Cotton Oil company, and
the mother of two young daughters,
Misses Pauline and Frances Wos-
moansky.
"Mrs. Wosmoansky's father was a
very gifted man, and came to Amer
ica in 1871. He could transcribe the
Lords Prayer on the face of a dime.
He was born in Moravia, in Poland
and educated at Neutitschern, in Aus

the war between Austria and Per-

father was a major in the Austrian
