Page 8.     Mr. Maurice Acree one of our model young men left for Bradenton, South Florida where he has accepted a position in a bank. H. C. Tompkins has made quite an improvement in his department store. The Gent's furnishings department has been moved to the side formerly occupied by the millinery department. The latter is now dry goods and notions. Miss Madie Hightower is now assistant sales lady in the millinery and dry goods of the D. G. Blount & Company.     Mrs. John R. Grice was called to Harrison by the illness and death of her brother, Mr. Addison Hartley. Little Mary, the daughter of Rev. & Mrs. W.G. Allaben is very sick at the methodist parsonage. Theo, the bright little daughter of Mrs. Mae Parker was painfully hurt about the face and hand while playing in the garden at her home. A cow was grazing near by, who became vicious and attacked the child, and her escape from being killed was truly fortunate as well as miraculous. Miss Minnie Mae Wilson and Mrs. Henry Hammock, along with Mr. Lawson Lindsey have been sick in the Cedar Grove community.     After an extended illness of grippe, Addison W. Hartley died at home near Harrison and buried with Masonic Honors at Mt. Moriah where he was a faithful member. He was a brother of Mrs. John R. Grice and brother-in-law of Dr. P.B. Bedingfield. He is survived by his wife and several children.     Mr. Marvin Price, son of Mr. Loyd Price died at his home from typhoid fever. Mr. Price was one of the most prosperous and successful young farmers in this section. He was a young man and his future prospects looked bright. He is survived by his wife and several small children.     Mayor J.M. Cook has lost his cat, a crackerjack rat catcher which "moved and had its lively being" in and around Mr. Cook's place of business, the Wrightsville Merchantile Company. This highly prized feline is a "Thomas"; medium size, color black and white, with the former color predominating. Tommy's sudden disappearance is mystifying, or, perhaps some admirer of fine cats has swiped him. At any rate, "Jeems" wants the cat to return, or be returned.
