From Days Gone By, June 4,1914

June 4, 1914.     No young woman's death has occasioned deeper regret among a wider circle of friends than that of Mrs. Anna Bessie Vickers Crawford, of Vidalia, which occured on Saturday May 23rd at her home in that city. Mrs. Crawford had been in failing health for some time, and about two weeks before her condition turned serious and she rapidly grew worse, which resulted from a complication of Bright's disease.     Mrs. Crawford was the daughter of Dr. & Mrs. T. E. Vickers of Harrison. Four years ago she married Mr. Jackson J. Crawford of Wrightsville where they came to live until the move to Vidalia. She was a quite popular woman, educated at Bessie Tift College and was accomplished in many ways. She was a Baptist and a faithful Christian.     She was only 24 years old. Besides her husband and little daughter, Frances, she was survived by her parents, a sister, and other relatives. She was brought to Harrison from Vidalia via the W. & T. Railroad and buried at Bethany Church. She was shrouded in her bridal robe, she was laid to rest, a bride in death, and her soul has gone to meet the coming "Bridegroom" in the Eternal City.     From a Chicago newspaper a woman gives her baby to secure a Board bill. A year-old boy was given in court by his mother, Mrs. Pauline Hubet, as security for a $33 board bill. The baby was turned over to Mrs. Rudolph Peterson, with whom Mrs. Hubet was lodged.     By order of the court the mother may call as often as she likes, but may not take away the son until the bill is paid. "I like this baby," said Mrs. Peterson, in answer to an inquiry of Judge Fry. "If she wants to keep the $33 and give the baby, that's suits me fine." Only in Chicago!     A farmer gave a job to a seedy looking individual who had applied to him and who had assured him that he never got tired, says the Washington Star. When the employer went to the field where he had put the tramp to work he found the latter lolling on his back under a tree.     "What does this mean?" he asked the employee, "I thought you were a man who never got tired?" "I don't." calmly responded the tramp. "This doesn't tire me."
