E. A. W. Johnson has recently had a space in the extreme southern end of the Vivola block converted into a garage, and has leased the same to W. R. Gatling. Cornelius Kavakos of this city, and his uncle, Thomas Smith of Dublin, have formed a co-partnership in the fruit and restaurant business and are now conducting a large, new business of this kind in Vidalia, with Billie Kavakos in charge.
It goes without saying that the Tanner Grocery Co. is a live place, full to the hilt with everything good to eat. They have recently installed an unusually large refrigerator, which is kept filled with creamery butter, fresh yard eggs, fruits, etc. Fine country hams also festoon the back wall.

He is a fine machinest, and an expert in auto repairing and rebuilding. L. A. Lovett spent several days in Atlanta pushing the sales of the popular Ford car.

Made desperate by the life sentence imposed on Ed Montford, Miss Pearl Perry, daughter of a well known Laurens county planter, has committed suicide by taking Paris green. Miss Perry, as soon as she heard of Montford's sentence last Friday fainted and Sunday morning took the poison which caused her death Sunday night at her father's home, Mr. R. R. Perry. Miss Perry and Montford were old sweethearts for years before his marriage to Miss Miller, of Dublin.
It is rumored they have kept up regular correspondence since his stay in jail.

Internment will be held in the family cemetery.
