October 29, 1914.
Halloween falls on Saturday this year, and therefore it will be celebrated with more than usual jolly. The night will be given over to maskers, who parade the streets and own everything in sight. Night spooks, witches, goblins and jack-o-lanterns will be in evidence all over town.
Perhaps the most interesting specialty at the Vivola Theatre in some time was the Baby Show put on last week under the direction of Mr. W. W. White. The pictures were well exhibited and the mothers were delighted with their representatives on this occasion. Manager Jackson is more than pleased with this attraction, from several viewpoints, one of the main ones being that numbers of people visited his playhouse that have never been before. The Florence Peyton Co. begins a 3 day engagement presenting their opening bill "Cupid Against The Dollar."
In Grand Jury presentments they recommended C. L. Claxton appointed to the unexpired term of S. L. Fortner as Notary Public and Exofficio Justice of Peace of the 55th district, and that Z. T. Prescott and W. C. Brantley succeed themselves as same in districts 1301 and 1202 respectively. Recommended R. B. Bryan, E. L. Harrison appointed to succeed themselves on the Board of Education and that Z. T. Houser succeed J. B. Williams and L. L. Lillard succeed W. H. Raley.
They also suggested the ditch on the left hand side of the public road from Wrightsville to Adrian be filled up from W. W. Anthony's place to Mr. Ellis Johnson's. That the county line at Adrian be changed so as to cut all of the town of Adrian into Johnson County. That the road leading from Bartow to Dublin be re-opened from E. J. Sumner's to the county line and that a fill be put in across Cypress Creek near U. R. Jenkins' Snell place.
The following were placed on the paupers list: Jeff Bowen, Charlie Johnson, Robert Miller, Francis Harrison, Tempie Williams, Missouri Ausbon, Polly Helton, Bryant Daley, Mary E. Rhiner, Mary Holton, Mary Maddox, Mary Heath, Charlie Mills, John Jackson, Calsie Spivey, Henry Webb family, Mrs. G. W. Loyd, Wright Parson, Willie Clements, Mrs. Julia Clements, Josie Moorman, Susan Lord, Dilsey Thomas, S. W. Thomas, Elizabeth Townsend, Susan Killebrew, Georgiann Fennell, Julia Patterson, Till Price, Clara Cox, E. L. Prior family, Emiline Cooper, George Jones, Eldridge Crabb, Dock Thompson and Pink Fulford.
The Grand Jurors were J, C. Harrison, J. M. Anderson, B. R. Spell, R. R. Martin, B. Vickers, F. Carter, J. M. Hammock, W. T. Scarbourgh, S. L. Powell, W. J. Raines, J. Marvin Smith, C. M. Foskey, C. C. Green.
A citizen suggested that Wrightsville is greatly in need of a civic, or 'town improvement club', the streets on the square are so greatly in need of attention as well as the different streets in the residential areas. This will seriously help escape the criticisms of the "Jay Riders" as they pass through from other towns.
Col. Russell Daley is improving his residence on West Elm street. Mr. & Mrs. B. B. Tanner is enroute to Sandersville to Rawlings Sanitarium concerning his recent attacks of vertigo.
Ed Montford, white, and John Gardner, colored, were jointly indicted by a Laurens County Grand Jury for the murder of young Herschel Beacham and throwing his body into the Oconee River.
