GRAVE APPREHENSION
HELD FOR OLD COUPLE
Reports today from the bedside
of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Heys, who
are so critically ill of pneumonia at
their home near Americus, are to
the effect that little hope is now
held for their recovery.
Early this morning Mr. Heys*
showed alarming symptoms in the
development of hiccoughs, with a
temperature running sub-normal.
Mrs. Heys was as ill as to cause
grave apprehension to the attend
ing physicians and nurses, and it is
feared they may not survive the
day.
