Pistol Accidently Discharged
While She Was Inspecting
War Souvenirs At Home
Of Friend Near Ellabille.
Coming as a distinctly sad
shock to her family and hosts of
admiring friends was the an :
nouncement of Miss Ann Halley
being seriously wounded late Sun
day afternoon by the discharge of
a 45-calibre pistol, accidently
discharged while in the hands of
a former Marine Sergeant, Edward
Gilchrist, who at the time of the
accident was displaying to several
friends gathered about him a
large collection of souvenirs he
had brought home with him fol
lowing his recent honorable dis
charge from the army. Gilchrist
was decorated for heroism on
Okinawa.
The accident occurred at the
Gilchrist home located on the
Ellaville - Americus highway a
few miles south of Ellaville. Miss
Halley, whose home is at Reynolds
has been employed during her
summer school vacation in the
drug firm at Ellaville operated' by
her uncle, Dr. Paul Gill. It was
while with a group of young peo
ple Miss Halley visited the Gil
christ home to inspect the ex-Ma-
rine’s collection of souvenirs the
accident occurred. The bullet, all
steel, plowed its way through
Miss Halley’s body and found
lodgment in a piece of furniture in
the room. It entered the body
about one inch above the heart
and ranged upward. She was
rushed to an Americus hospital,
Boyette’s Clinic, where everything
possible in the way of medical
science, careful nursing and pray
ers of anxious relatives and
friends are being offered in the
hope of saving her life.
Miss Halley is the daughter of
Mrs. Eva Gill Halley of Reynolds,
and the late Hon. A. M. Halley
and a grand daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Jack Gill, prominent But
ler citizens. She is one of Taylor
county’s most * popular young
women, a student of Wesleyan
Conservatory of Music, Macon, and
a most accomplished musician.
She achieved early recognition as
a pianist by winning an Atlanta
Journal trip to Radio City a few
years ago.
Latest reports from the hospital
bear encouragement that without
lurther complications Miss Halley
will recover from the fearful or
deal. She was resting fairly com
fortably last night.

Attention of parents of first and
second grade children is called to
the following recent ruling of the
Taylor County Board of Education:
(1) Children of 1st and 2nd
grades may not be kept out of
school to do seasonal farm labor.
(2) A child beginning school
may not enter the first grade if
his 6th birthday falls later than
Nov. 16 of year he wishes to start
to school.
The reason for the first ruling
is that beginners, entering after
their class is started off cannot
do the work of those who started
in September but must be in a
class by themselves. Especially
where a teacher has a full room
these small classes get very little
of the teacher’s time. Usually
they learn so little they fail to
pass. Next year if they begin late
they still do not get a good foun
dation. To a less extent, this is
true of a second grader. Much of
the first grade work has to be re
viewed at the beginning of the
second year. If a child misses this
review he is greatly handicapped,
becomes a drag in his class, and
usually fails to make his grade.
In fact there is no way of over
coming the lack of a good foun
dation in the first, second and
third grades. Since children of the
first and second grades are not
large enough to do much farm
work the Board of Education re
quests parents not to keep these
small children out to do seasonal
labor.
