From Days Gone By May 14,1914

May 14, 1914.     Commencment excercises at Warthen College will begin tomorrow and last through Tuesday evening the 20th. The occasion marks the close of a very successful year and those connected with the school are gratified of the accomplishments made.     Miss Ovie Grice, daughter of Mr. B. M. Grice of Scott, was one of the five to graduate from the Rawlings Sanitarium Training School on last Wednesday evening. Judge and Mrs. A. F. Daley were called to Dublin last week by the illness of their daughter, Mrs. J. E. Burch.     Captain Thomas W. Kent, one of Wrightsville's and Johnson County's oldest and best known citizens has been confined to his bed for the past several days, and is in very feeble health. Among those from here at Stephensville community that attended the soldiers reunion at Jacksonville were Messers. Isham Stephens, S. J. Tyson, H. D. Gornto, Allen and Quincy Stephens.     Notice is given that the partnership of W.S. Burns & Son, a firm composed of W.S. Burns and W.G. Burns has been dissolved by mutual consent. Business will now be conducted under the name of Burns Bros, composed of W.G. and L. M. Burns.     A committee consisting of A.T. Clarke, A.S. Mayo, and A.M. Fordham submitted an obituary sketch of Bro. G.G. Mixon. He was born 1838 or 39 and died Febuary 27, 1914 making him about 75 years old. He joined the Mt. Hollon Prrimitive Baptist in Johnson County and was baptized by Rev. B.G. Fortner about 1880. After a few years the church dissolved and he moved his membership to New Home Baptist and remained there till his death.     He did not have the opportunity that others did in going to church or doing church work on account of his wife having been an invalid for 40 years or more demanding his presence at home nearly everyday. He had a stroke of paralysis more than a year before his death which rendered him almost helpless, but amid all of his troubles and afflictions he always seemed cheerful and happy, often speaking of the goodness of God and the many mercies that he had bestowed on him.
