Snake Bite
I regret to have to announce that Mrs B Cramp of Narrawa was bitten by a small brown snake on Wednesday last. The snake, it appears, was under a counter in the store room, and the darkness of the spot rendered the snake invisible for the time; in fact the snake bit Mrs Cramp twice, and she was not aware of her danger until the second bite. The proper remedies were immediately sent for, and I hear that Mrs Cramp is now recovering, although for a time she suffered considerably.
