The Georgia Enterprise
     Mr. H. V. JOHNSON, the Oxford student who so dangerously shot himself last
week, has been convalesing, and it is thought that he will recover. Dr. 
Westmoreland, of Atlanta, was called in last Friday, and his opinion is that 
the life of the boy will be saved, but at the loss of his eyes, and to some
extent his mind will be impaired. Dr. Westmoreland is of the opinion that the 
ball did not penetrate the brain as was first thought, and ventures the 
assertion that a better place could not have been picked out to insure the 
preservation of the boy's life, although the ball entered the temple and made
its exit through the left frontal bone.

This is in the same issue of The Georgia Enterprise.
     H. V. Johnson, the Emory college student who attempted suicide last week,
is still alive with hope of his recovery.

The Georgia Enterprise, January 26, 1888
    Mr. H. V. JOHNSON, the Emory college student who shot himself not long 
since, died on Sunday last. He was getting along nicely until he took cold in 
the wound. His remains were carried to his home in Appling county, for 
interment.
