June 10, 1915.
A most pleasing proof that farmers in this section are at last getting away from the "all cotton" is Mr. J. T. Pope, a Laurens Co. farmer who has installed one of the most up-to-date flour mills in this section and is prepared to handle all the wheat grown in this territory. For several years now Mr. Pope has been in the mill business and the flour manufactured by him equals any grade that can be bought from the western mills. He can take care of about 500 bushels of wheat daily and every farmer in this section who has planted wheat can be free of the high flour market by sending their grain to his mill.
An election is ordered for Johnson Co. on the first Wednesday in July, in which the question of which shall be submitted to the Lawful voters of "Fence" or "no Fence" to be held in each militia district as provided for by the General Assembly.
E. W. Tanner applied for Permanent Letters of Administration on the estate of Mr. B. B. Tanner recently deceased. The appraisers have filed for a year's support for Mrs. Vickey Amerson, the widow of John Amerson. W. M. Pullen asked for Letters of Dismission having fully administered the estate of John M. Pullen.
Mrs. W. J. Dent, Sr. celebrated her 77th birthday last Friday with a family reunion dinner which was given by all her children, on the lawn at her residence on West Court Street. Besides the family, only the ministers of the different churches and a few personal friends were guests. Mrs. Dent, who has been in feeble health for quite awhile, received many congradulations on her milestone.
Mirian, the 15 month old daughter of A. J. and Clara Kight passed away. Hon. John R. Flanders, Ordinary of Emanuel Co., died at his home in Swainsboro on June 2nd.
No young person's death in this community has occasioned deeper sorrow among a wider circle of friends than that of Miss Mamie Rowland, second daughter of Sheriff and Mrs. W. D. Rowland, which occurred Monday morning, June 7th, at her home here.
Miss Rowland was taken ill with grippe about 3 months ago, which developed into pneumonia, resulting in an abscess on the lungs, from which she died. She was carried to Rawlings Sanitarium some weeks ago with the hope that she would return restored to healt, but her condition only worsened and she was sent back home, where the battle ffor life, assisted by medical skill and tender nursing availed nothing.
She was just 16 and universally popular. She was a pupil at Warthen College, a member of Moores Chapel and the Philathea Class of the Wrightsville Methodist church. She was laid to rest at Westview following an impressive funeral conducted by Rev. Reese Griffin of Wrightsville Methodist, and Rev. Murry of Moores Chapel.
