The pony shot along some distance, and Eileen was dashed head foremost against a kurrajong tree. When the child was picked up it was thought she was dead, but an examination showed this was not the case. Dr. Gabriel went out to the scene of the mishap by motor and pronounced the case a critical one. The girl was brought home on Monday in Mr. Bootes motor car and in the evening the two local doctors operated on her. It was found that her injuries were not as serious as anticipated, and that the skull was not fractured, so that Eily's recovery is only a matter of time.
The Federal Cabinet finished the Electoral Bill today. The principal item is the abolition of postal voting and extension of provision for absent voters,
Sigh not if your cold is painful, over its corpse a requiemsing: You can now be quite disdainful, Wood's Peppermint Cure relief will bring, Coughs and colds all fly like magic, At its advent any day; Though their ends may seem so tragic, Woods will drive all colds away Send 5/0 to tho Adyocatk Office and this paper will be forwarded to you for three months. - (Ref- Adelong and Tumut Express and Tumbarumba Post (NSW : 1900 - 1925)(about) Previous issue Friday 22 September 1911 Page 2).
