May 16, 1912.
Mother's Day was very appropriately observed at the methodist church in Wrightsville on last Sunday morning. Rev. J. B. Griner, the pastor, paid a beautiful tribute to "Mother", taking for his subject, "Hannah lent Samuel to the Lord". The choir with Miss Brown, sang "Tell Mother I'll Be There."
E. A. W. Johnson, owner of the building formerly occupied by the Empire Store, and recently destroyed by fire, is being rebuilt. Some changes will be made in the arrangement of the building. It is in a popular location and he will have no trouble securing an occupant. W. C. Chester, Wrightsville's leading architect and builder, has the work in hand.
Citizen J. T. Fulford has recently made some improvements and necessary repairs on his home corner of Elm and Valley Streets, among which is an entirely new covering placed on the cook-room. Miss Rebecca Harris left for Doublerun where she has accepted a position in the railroad office with her brother-in-law, Mr. W. J. Mandeville.
The Tennille Institute and friends will have their annual picnic tomorrow at Idylwild. Among the students who attended the Philadelphia school picnic at Down's Mill last saturday were Vola Dola and Annie Lee Claxton, Clinton Williams and Thos. Jenkins. Ward Stokes who had the misfortune to sprain his left arm at the Senior picnic two weeks ago, has recovered the use of the injured member.
The commencment excercises of Warthen College will begin on friday night. The following graduates will receive diplomas: Maude Stokes, Cleo Bray, Geneva Bray, Maude Lou Hightower, Cora McAfee, Myrah Daley, Mabel Williams, Mary Will Hall, Leon Lovett, Milo Smith, Joe Butterly, Harlie Fulford, Arthur Rowland.
Dr. Ford Ware doned the cap and gown and becomes an M. D. graduate of the Medical College of Georgia. Dr. Ware, son of Warthen College president A. F. Ware, was historian of the class, and graduate with honor and distinction. He is an Alpha Kappa, art editor medical department of Pandora University of Georgia, and member of the mysterious Seven.
Mr. and Mrs. John Asa Peacock announce the engagement of their daughter, Kathleen Boifeuillet, to Mr. George Palmer Roberson with the marriade to take place on June 6th at the First Methodist Church in Dublin. The Peacocks' were former residents of Wrightsville.
Mr. J. M. Hammock, living five miles east of Wrightsville had his home and most of the contents destroyed by fire last Tuesday night about 12 midnight. Only three beds and six quilts were saved, and the family barely escaped with their lives. The smokehouse adjoining, containing a quantity of meat and syrup, and also an outhouse in which was stored a lot of cotton and farm implements, was also burned. Mr. Hammock's loss is a heavy one as he carried no insurance, and Jack's friends sympathize with him in his misfortune, and his neighbors are doing what they can to supply the immediate needs of the family.
B.B. Tanner is an agent for the Overland Automobile and says it is a popular and splendid machine. He is ready to give terms and prices. Vickers & Williams has fine quality and reliable mules for sale. Will work anywhere, in single or double harness, or under the saddle, and a tip-top plow mule. I want to sell him, have no use for him, and if you want a bargain call on me, Gainor Burns.
