The Marietta Jonrnal
Mr.” Morris’s Condition
Is More Encouraging.
The many friends of Hon. J. Gid
Morris and his family and of Mr. Gid
Merris Jr. will be glad to know that the
physicians speak encouragingly of the
condition of Mr. Gid Morris, Jr. who is
at the Wesley Memorial Hospital in
Atlanta.
Young Mr. Morris, went to Mexico to
do some contracting work and in a fall
had one of his legs broken. The surgi
cal treatment he received made of him
’a physical wreck and his condition was
deplorable when he was brought home
several weeks ago.
His leg was placed in a plaster cast in
Atlanta Friday and he is resting better.
He is suffering a great deal less pain
than heretofore.
Dr. W. S. Wood and Mrs, Wood who
is Mr. Morris’ sister and who live in
Atlanta, are with him,
Mr. Morris’ hosts of friends very
earnestly hope for his restoration
to health.
NESBITT.
The Christmas tree at this place
was a thing of joy to the children;
many bright-eyed' little girls and
boys went home that night with
happy hearts regardless of the rain
and sleet. It is amazing how little
it takes to make a child happy.
The average attendance of the
Sundey school here for the past
year was reventy one. While every
one feels proud of the record, there
is still room for improvemen.
We are sorry to note that Satan
got in a jug and the express train
brought him around the mountain
to our corner of the community, and
well, welll We hope the time is
not far hence when all the people
will scorn the idea of celebrating our
Savior’s birth with John Barleycorn
broth. .
Wishing the good old Journal,
her editors, correspondents and
readers a Happy and Prosperous
New Year, we beg to remain as
ever, your friend,
