There are 125,000 telephone girls in
the United States, most of then
ployed by the "trust"
ly. The water bills for the fourth and
last quarter of 1914 have been mailed
to consumers by the city cterk, and
payment of the bills so rendered is in
order.
While not advertising the fact that
a discount on water bills is allowed,
patrons really get a discount by pay
ing their bills before the 25th of the
month. On that date a cut-off list is
made up by the clerk, and on this list
appears every delinquent. When wa
ter is cut off, an additional charge of
$1 is made. Therefore, in paying your
water bill promptly you save the dol
lar.
SHOT THROUGH HIS HAND}
AMPUTATION NECESSARY.
Moultrie, Oct. 1.—Henry Daniel,
young white man of the western part
of the county, had an accidental gun
shot wound in his hand that was so
serious that physicians had to take
the hand off.
Young Daniel had arranged to go
hunting and was standing on the
steps of his home. His gun slipped
through his hand, the hammer struck
the steps and discharged a load of
shot that passed dangerously near a
vital part of his body and struck his
hand, badly lacerating the latter. The
wound of the hand was of such a
character that it was necessary to
amputate it between the wrist and the
elbow.
