From Days Gone By July 22, 1915

July 22, 1915.

    Judge J. L. Kent of the Dublin Circuit suffered a fainting spell here today at the Anderson Hotel which alarmed his friends until he rallied from its effects. He has been ill for several days but came over to Dublin Tuesday to attend to making up the civil calendar for next week's session of court. The trip and work were too much for his physical condition, and he stated that he would probably get some one to hold court in his place until he could recover his health.

    There have been some much needed improvements made on the Methodist church. The plank floor of the porch at the east entrance has been replaced with concrete and the old steps have all been removed and new ones built. Mr. F. F. Flanders did the work.

    A camping party left Wrightsville for Coleman's Lake where they will spend several days fishing. It included Mayor J. M. Cook and family, Col. C. S. Claxton and Family, Mr. E. E. Sanders and family, Dr. & Mrs. J. G. Brantley, Mr. & Mrs. Geo. W. Gannon, and Mrs. J. L. Kent. The young ladies were Misses Clarice Kent, Ida Burnette, Mabel Williams and Zelia Hightower. Also Messrs. A. F. Flanders, J. S. Johnson, John M. Meeks, J. E. Tompkins.

    A fire destroyed the home of W. A. Hutcheson at Oak Park, several miles from Adrian. It is believed to be arson. The Wrightsville Photograph Gallery will make 4 pictures for 25 cents for one week only. T. L. Martin will deliver you  more ice and better ice at any time in the city. The Negro Farmer's mass meeting of the Southeast will meet July 29-30 in Millen.

    Mr. & Mrs. Robt. B. Bryan announce the birth of a daughter on July 14th. J. E. Glisson of near Lovett brought in the first open cotton for this season. Mr. R. R. Martin brought in a Quada, or Florida Bean, and is of excellent eating quality. The bean measures 31 inches in length and 4 inches circumference. It is light greenish color, striped with white, and in the shape of a green snake. He grew them in his garden on West Elm street. The Union Hill farmers are just about done laying by.

    Mr. Leon Lovett spent last week in Atlanta as guest of the Ford people. The hustling Ford car representative got in another car load this week. The following have purchased Fords within the past week: W. D. Rowland, C. M. Dent, W. R. Smith and C. L. Wilson.

    If the representative, Mr. Adams, of Hall County succeeds in getting his bill past, the gallows may go and give place to an electric death chair. He believes hanging to be brutal and inhuman and desires that a death chair be set up either at Milledgeville or Atlanta, and all condemned prisoners executed there. The bill is in the hands of a committee for investigating and electric system of death.
