Febuary 1, 1912.
John Barnes, from Washington County was in the city and while here questioned the purpose of the councils vote on pool or no pool for Wrightsville. "Does this refer to the pool room already in operation, or to another place for the public? If to the former, why? It has been in operation for more than a year, and certainly no evil has resulted there from. While maintained and operated for the benefit of one of the secret orders, yet it is a pool room. If to the latter, then why not give the public a chance to enjoy the priviledge accorded to the secret order? No reasonable nor tangible arguement can be put forth to deny the operation of another place of this kind without eliminating the one already in existence, which we do not urge. To us this is only a matter of fair play, in other words, equal rights to all, special privileges to none."
Another new candidate in the commercial world has been established in Wrightsville. It opened on the west side by J. Tom Davis, late head salesman at the Empire Store. It has a grocery department and dry goods, shoes, notions, etc. Cox & Tanner have one of the best fancy and family stores to be found anywhere. They have just received a new fresh line of Hinez' goods, and there, with fruits, confections, and is very appetising.
Wrightsville has been favored with some first-class attractions at the Vivola the past week. "Ingomar", the barbarian, an old but beautiful melodrama was played to a good house, and "The Wolf", the great New York Lyrie Theatre, success by Eugene Walter was great also. Next week "The Arrival of Kitty" will be presented.
Judge Kent has moved his office to the Brinson building, and Col. Ben Hill Moye has moved his office from the Vivola building to the upstairs at the Brinson building. E. J. Sumner has had a switchboard placed in his store and is having wires run to connect with different points.
Mr. Crawford Holt was taken to Rawlings Sanitarium for treatment. Ralph Bryan still has pneumonia. Mrs. Gordon Kent of Adel had to go to Rawlings also, accompained by her sister, Mrs. W. A. Sinquefield and Dr. J. W. Brinson. Mr. W. W. Moye of Columbus, and Mrs. T. H. Grier of Dublin attended the funeral of their father last week, Mr. John W. Moye.
J. V. Snell announced his candidacy for Clerk of Superior Court. He has been connected with this office for several years. The county convention of the Republican Party of Johnson County was called to meet in the Odd Fellows hall on Feb. 6th to elect delegates to the State and District conventions. H. T. Aiken, chairman and J. G. Pullen, secetary. J. C. Wiggins, Ordinary, reminded all pensioners of Johnson County that their money is ready for pickup. The Confederate Veterans, Camp Martin, elected Miss Bessie Martin as sponsor to attend the grand reunion of Confederate Veterans in Macon on May 7th, 8th and 9th.
Mr. M. Eugene Moody died from an aneurism at the sanitarium of Dr. Leon Moye at Vidalia. His remains were carried to Tennille at Zeta Cemetery. He resided in Wrightsville several years, 45 years old and a native of Washington County. He married Miss Maud Cox and was a relative of Mrs. R. L. Kent.
Driving a load of hay across the farm of J. S. Jackson on the Howell Mill road, a colored man was severly shocked and two horses instantly killed by current from the main feed wire of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, which in some manner had become crossed with a telegraph guy wire, charging the ground for some distance around. Just before he forced his horses over the fatal territory a team of mules balked at the crossing and finally ran away, injuring their driver, who had attempted to force them across.
It is only a few months until Idylwild will be open to the public. Already the youngsters and grownups, too, are looking forward with pleasuradle anticipation to the opening of this famous resort.
