Bailey completes hospital internship

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bailey of the Whiteoak Community congratulate them on the fact that their talented young son, Billy Malone Bailey, has completed his period of internship at the Athens General Hospital in Athens, Ga., and is leaving this week for Cairo, Ga., where he is taking over the office and practice of the leading physician in that city, who is retiring from his practice because of ill health.

Dr. Bailey's wife and little son will join him in two weeks to make their home in Cairo.

Columbia County people who know the history of this young doctor's renowned ancestor, the late Dr. Berthier Bailey, whose word was the last in diagnosis to so many in his long years of practice in this area, will be wishing success to this young physician as he begins his career.
