May 23, 1912.
This week the city of Wrightsville made a deal with the Wrightsville & Tennille Railroad Company, in which the former transferred to the latter the original artesian water tank and stand, which was erected on the western part of the public square several years ago. It was used in connection with the old artesian well. The price paid was $100. The structure has been taken down and will be put up and used on some point of the W. & T. line.
In a wire from Judge Hawkins, he informs everyone that the June term of court will be postponed on account of the farmers. E. J. Mcafee is not only one of Uncle Sam's best rural routers going out of Wrightsville, but he is also a successful tiller of the soil. He devotes his spare time to looking after his little patches around home. Last Monday morning he brought to town a specimen bunch of his oat crop. The sample is extra fine, to be sure, and carries with it the ear marks of the nortorious "Carter" variety. A Mr. Barrett, President of the National Farmers Union spoke here this week.
Mr. & Mrs. B. G. Warthen came over from Bartow this week, and spent a couple of days attending Warthen College Commencement. They came through the country behind a handsome pair of throughbred Kentucky blacks, owned and prized by Mr. Warthen. W. Throx Bankston, a prominent citizen and newspaper man from West Point spent the day in Wrightsville. He is a candidate for Railroad Commissioner.
Having passed a splendid examination before the State Board, Dr. James Gordon Brantley will open his offices in Wrightsville on the first of June practicing medicine and surgery. The infant of Mr. & Mrs. J. H. Rowland has been critically ill recently but seems to be much better.
"That boy of yours, it seems like yesterday that mother mourned the transition from skirts to trousers; his rocking horse will soon give way to the base ball and pigskin. He is developing, changing every day, and you haven't had his picture taken in more than a year. Yes, its two years last Christmas. There is a photographer in town at Braddy Brothers Studio."
The Wrightsville Mayor and Council proposes an ordinance to prohibit wandering, loitering or strolling about in idleness on the streets of Wrightsville, of persons able to work and do not work, and have no property to support themselves. This also includes loafing.
