January 25, 1912.
Warthen College observed Lee's birthday on friday in a very appropriate manner. The whole school was instructed upon the life and character of the great general by college president, A. F. Ware and Capt. John L. Martin, Confederate veteran. The college is now in the best running order ever. The enrollment is the largest in the history of the school and a faculty as strong as any. Superintendent of Education, A. J. Robinson is busy making inspections of all the county schools.
At the regular council meeting, on March 6th, there will be passed upon an application now pending, to run a pool room in the city. As true representatives, the mayor and council invites all good citizens to express themselves as to what action to take. Councilman B. H. Lord was elected mayor pro tem. He is a good man and the only man on the council to have been there before, serving in 1909.
Duff & Robinson, watchmakers and opticans are now located in Robinson brick building on the north side of the square. John and Jack are "right up to now" in all they profess; reliable and courteous. The Vaudeville Team at the Vivola Theatre are making good, and a large crowd greets them each night. J. D. Outlaw & Son, blacksmith's, tells the public there is a rumor being circulated that they have gone up on the price of horse shoeing to $1.50. This is not true. We are shoeing at the same price as always at $1.00 and we guarentee our work. Cox & Tanner have sent out samples of India Tea which is pronounced par excellence by the tea drinkers.
Joe Little, the veteran colored barber of Wrightsville, now has his shop in the "band stand", north of the public square, lately vacated by Judge J. L. Kent. Joe says he is now fixed up in apple pie order, and invites his city and country friends to drop in and see him and he will serve them promptly and in the best manner possible.
Mr. & Mrs. W. L. Burns left Wrightsville for Tennille to occupy their new home on Smith Street. Rev. Chas. R. Williams, with his family, have moved from Spann to Wrightsville and are occupying the Cox old home on Elm Street.
Col. and Mrs. A. L. Hatcher went to Atlanta as guests at the reception by Gov. John M. Slaton. Rep. E. L. Stephens is also in Atlanta attending a special session of the General Assembly to inaugurate former Gov. Joe M. Brown as Governor. J. M. Hightower announces for Ordinary in the August primary. Ira S. Chappell and Judge K. J. Hawkins have both announced for Judge of Superior Court.
J. J. L. Outlaw has been sick for several weeks. Clerk A. S. Norris has dispepsia and has been visited by his father, Dr. S. M. Norris. Dr. C. R. Riner of Summitt, a former Johnson County boy, was here to see George M. Riner who is sick at his home on West Elm Street. Mrs. Will Dent is quite sick also.
After an extended illness of organic heart trouble, Mr. J. W. Moye died at his home here and was buried at Westview. He was a native of Baldwin County and was a Confederate veteran as a youth in Governor Joe Brown's Militia. He was one time the superintendent of the Johnson County Farm. He married thrice and survived by his last wife and several children among whom Mrs. W. H. Baron of this city.
The past two or three days have been real spring-like and preparations are being made for early gardens. Some have already planted English peas and cabbage, thereby observing the old custom of plantin in the "12 days", or the "old Christmas". The woodpecker is now abroad in our sunny southland, plying his characteristic avocation. The presence of this distinguished red-head member of the bird kingdom, is, it is said, the precurser of spring.
