From Days Gone By March 26,1914

March 26, 1914.     The new Baptist parsonage is going right on to completion and looks "right housey" already. Leon Chester has the job in hand and doing good swift job. The Baptist people will have a good cosey home for their preacher, Rev. L.P. Glass.     For the past 8 weeks about 15 ladies and gentlemen have been contestants in the DublinCourier-Herald prize circulation contest. Mrs. Brantley, wife of Dr. James Gordon Brantley was the 1st grand prize winner, which was a 7 passenger touring car, she having received the largest number of votes.     Col. Walter Clements od Eastman announces for Congress from the 12th District. Mr. S. M. Norris is a candidate for representative from Johnson County and part of his platform is to establish county commissioners for Johnson County. The friends of Mr. Joby Jones formerly of Washington County are rejoicing over his success in winning county treasurer. These and several other candidates for senatorial and representative honors have been in evidence during court this week. The soft drink parlors and cigar stands have done a lively business. But its an ill wind that blows nobody any good.     Mrs. J. W. Johnson has pneumonia, Mr. F. A. Sinquefield was operated on for appendicitis. After an illness of 3 months of a complicated stomach and brain trouble, Mary, the 10 year old daughter of Rev. & Mrs. W. G. Allaben died Tuesday at the Methodist parsonage. She was buried at Westview.     Mr. Julius Jenkins, a student at the State University is home until June. Mr. & Mrs. C. A. Beall announce the birth of a son on the 26th, at "Fineview" the home of Mr. & Mrs. W. A. Sinquefield. Mr. J. H. McWhorter who is running as express messenger over the Central of Georgia Railroad between Atlanta and Savannah was here to see his family, Mr. Will McWhorter.     Mrs. C. P. Nix wife no. 1, and two children of North Georgia, and also Mrs. C. P. Nix, wife no.2, and one child, from Dublin, attended court here as witnesses in the case of C. P. Nix bigamist. He was tried and convicted of bigamy and sentenced to 7 years in the pen. Will Cook was also convicted for false swearing and got 3 years.     Florence, the bright little daughter of Col. and Mrs. W. C. Brinson made a narrow escape from being fatally burned while standing in front of the open fireplace at her home on West Court Street. She accidentally fell into the fire but little Lelia Bryan pulled her out of the fire with her hair singed and arms and hands burned.     The little 4 year old son of Mr. Met Wood, while playing on the sidewalk in west Wrightsville, discovered a team running away and coming towards him. In attempting to get out of the way he accidentally stepped into a posthole and fell, the wheels passed over him, bruising his neck and shoulders severely. Dr. Brinson says he is doing fine.     Signs of the "good old fishing time" are fast showing up in various ways here. One way is the unusually large consignments of poles now being exposed for sale by several of the leading merchants.
