W. Summers Paralyzed. Barnesville, Ga., June 1. -(Special.)-
W. Summers, one of the best know and liked citizens of Barnesville, was striken
with paralysis Wednesday afternoon while riding several miles in the country
at the farm of R. L. Swatts. He was brought to town immediately by Mr. Swatts,
carried home and Dr. J. A. Corry summoned. He will probably be confined to his
home for some time. "Uncle Wap", as he is called, probably has more
friends in this city than any one other man. He is a prominent secret order
member.
