From Days Gone By June 25,1914

June 25, 1914.
    Wrightsville defeated Tennille yesterday at Idylwild, the popular picnic resort two miles from Wrightsville. The score was 8 to 2. Larisey pitching for Wrightsville, was in great form and had the Tennille team at his mercy throughout the game.
    The Wrightsville team is now under a new manager, and expects to defeat any team in the state. The club is now being coached by C. M. Dumas, who has been appointed captain, and better ball is being played by the team already.
    Prof. J. R. Campbell, A.B., recently superintendent of the school of Forsyth, has been elected vice-president and teacher of mathematics of Warthen College. Prof. John N. Haddock of Brunswick opened the session of summer school at Warthen College.
    Mrs. Leila Daley was walking near her home in Atlanta and was struck by a boy on a bicycle and she was thrown to the pavement falling forward on her face and broke her nasal bone. She was hurried to a private sanitarium where it is reported she is improving. Mrs. John Douglas and Miss Annie Laura Bray have returned home from surgeries at Rawlings Sanitarium. Helen, the bright little daughter of Mr. & Mrs. O. A. Kennedy is ill at home with typhoid fever. Miss Obie Grice, a professional nurse from Rawlings is attending to her.
    Dr. J. W. Martin, a former local young man is now in Macon practicing medicine. Mr. & Mrs. James M. Bryan announce the birth of a daughter Monday June 22nd. Comer Daley returned from Macon with his Chalmers Car, where he had taken it to be overhauled by Gilmore. Dr. J. W. Brinson recently purchased a handsome Hupmobile. The deal was made with J. T. Fulford, agent for these cars.
    Col. and Mrs. A. L. Hatcher attended the Bar Association at Savannah last week and while there enjoyed the surf at Tybee. Hon. L. L. Deal of Swainsboro visited Wrightsville in the interest of his candidacy for the senate of the 16th district.
    In Greenway news, the heaviest rain of the year fell over this section last Thursday greatly benefiting the growing crops. Gen. Green seems to be a hard fellow to convince this year, but the farmers have declared war on him in earnest again. Cols. Lee & Emory Price visited their father, Ricy Price for the weekend. The last few days have been the hottest yet.
    Mrs. J. W. Jackson died Tuesday afternoon at her home near Brewton, in Laurens County, and was buried at Shady Grove. Mrs. Jackson was well known in this section and is survived by several children. She was the mother of the late Mrs. B. B. Tanner.
