Omer Hall of this city, who has been driving one of Cooper Bros. night buses, was seriously disabled by paralysis Tuesday afternoon.  Hall left town before noon to go to his father's home at Brick Chapel to spend the dy.  During the afternoon he started to the pasture to get his horse but soon returned saying that he would walk to town as he was afraid of the horses.  His sister noticed the pecularity of his statement as he has been accustomed to driving since his earliest years.  After speaking to his sister, he took a step or two forward and fell.  Examination showed that his left side had been paralyzed.  His father, who  has been serving on the jury, ws summoned and also Dr. W.W. Tucker.  Reports from him t his morning show him to be somewhat better and hopes of his ultimate recovery  are entertained by his numerous friends   --- kbz
