GRIFFIN WALKER WAS BITTEN BI PET DBG r 1 T - Master Griffin Walker, who with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones Walker, lives near Newpoint in the western part of the county, is in the city, and will remain here several days, at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher W. Griffin. The young lad, who is about seven years of age, v.as playing with his pet dog out in the country Friday afternoon, and the animal, becoming overly energetic tn demonstrations of friendship for his young master, sank its teeth into the boy’s lip, penetrating through the ten der flesh and making a painful wound. As soon as Mrs. Walker was made aware of the fact that her son had been bitten, she at once brought the suffering little fellow to Americus, and the wound was attended by Dr. Doug las B. Mayes. The dog is not suspect ed of having rabies, and was not killed, but acting under instructions of Dr. Mayes, the animal will be kept under observation during several weeks. As a matter of precaution, however, it has been decided to administer the Fastuer treatment for tenanus, and the serum has been ordered from Atlanta. The friends of young Walker, and his parents, as well, while regretting to learn that he met with such misfor tune, will be glad to know that he is getting along very nicely, and that no serious consequences are anticipated.
