April 10, 1913.
On tuesday, April 15th, Idylwild, the beautiful picnic grounds on the W. & T. Railroad will be opened for the season to visitors and picnic parties with the usual varied attractions. The grounds will be under the management of Messrs. W. Amason and H. B. Sanders. The Wrightsville and Tennille has spared no pains in making Idylwild one of the most attractive and popular resorts in Georgia. On friday the 18th will be "Wrightsville's Day" at Idylwild, and Warthen College and the citizens in general will open the season with their annual picnic, an occasion always looked forward to by the boys and girls with great pleasure.
Mayor T. L. Harris reminds citizens that the gates to all yards or lots which now open on the sidewalk in the city, must be changed and swing to open on the inside of the property. This must be done by May 1st. The new Curfew Law was established by the Mayor and Council of Wrightsville at its recent meeting which prohibits minors under 18 to be up on the streets after 8pm or before 4 am, except under certain conditions those being, accompained by their parents or a permit from the mayor.
Leon Lovett left Sunday for Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mr. & Mrs. Otho Tanner went to Savannah to bring back a Cadalac for which Mr. B. B. Tanner is agent. The car was sold to Mrs. Finn of Dublin, but the high water prevented their returning in the car. R. B. Bryan is in Augusta serving as a grand juror in the United States Court.
Mr. B. B. Tanner is having water works installed at Ingleside, his suburban home. The water will be pumped by a large windmill. The Mannerly Supply Co. of Macon is doing the work which would have been completed now, but for an accident Mr. Rhodes sustained in falling from the scaffold. Mr. Lovett Claxton moved to the Sterling-Furguson residence on East Elm. R. Z. Sterling and daughters, Maud Lou and Eddith have moved to the McKolsky house on Belmont Avenue.
Mrs. Lewis Davis has had a second stroke of paralysis. Mrs. C. E. Brinson has acute indigestion. Misses Annie Lou and Vallie Robinson have opened a millinery store in the Robinson building.
An operation performed at the Savannah hospital removed the left leg of Clarence Thomas who was injured in a street car accident. Gangrene being the reason for amputation just above the ankle. Clarence is the son of Mr. & Mrs. W. S. Thomas. Reports are he is in a dying condition with no hope for recovery. Mr. Thomas and his eldest son, Willie, are at his bedside.
Dr. Gordon Brantley's spirited horse has in some way learned the art of untieing himself when hitched. On numorous occasions Dr. B. has hitched the horse when in his office, or home of a patient, and returned to his buggy to find him unhitched patiently waiting and nodding his head as if to say "Yes, I'm ready to go." But last friday the horse got ready to go before the Doctor returned to his buggy, and was rather reckless this time.
Brantley just returned from a country trip and had stopped to see a patient in town. Hitching the horse but as usual he got loose and left without the Doc. A neighbor informed him he was gone. He simply trotted off at first, but then seemed to realize no one was in the buggy began full speed up Marcus Street. At the corner post office they tried to stop him to no avail. He rushed madly on and turned to go into Linder's Stables and there the buggy collied with the brick wall, demolishing one wheel and the harness. The horse was not hurt.
