Sandersville Progress
 Last week the twin infants of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Brantley, of Albany, who had 
been on a visit to the family of Mr. E.A. Brantley who resides about 2 1/2 
miles below Tennille were taken with potmaine poison as a result of eating 
canned salmon and drinking sweet milk, and one of the babies died, the other 
recovering its usual good health.
 The salmon and milk was given them at breakfast Wednesday of last week at 
about 11 o'clock, both were taken sick and medical attention given them but the 
poison had gotten a terrible grip on their system that one died Wednesday 
night, the other improving.
 The mother, it is said, did not know the danger in giving canned meats and 
fish, with milk, and there fore was unaware of the fact that her children would 
be poisoned.
 Sweet milk and fish of any kind should never be eaten at the same meal, 
neither should canned meats of any kind be eaten immediately before or after 
drinking milk.
 The twin infants, both boys, were hale and hearty youngsters, never sick, but 
very little and the death of one makes a sad item.
 Funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. M.B. Boykin of Tennille 
and burial was at Mt. Gilead Church.
