From Days Gone By july 8, 1915

July 8, 1915.

    The celebrated Nebraska Indian team will clash with the team at Tennille on July 22-25. The Nebraska Indians are full blooded aborigines with all the features of the race which occupied this land before the white man. As in those days, these Indians have the famously characteristics of speed, cunning and wonderful powers of sight and improvement. The team has played through the country for 17 years and has hung up records galore. It has met many of the best teams in the country and has won the majority. On the street they are quiet and peaceful but on the field they let lose in a most interesting way. The Indian has always been bread with a desire to win and in victory he cannot control his spirits. Warhoops that now adays are looked upon as amusing but which in the days of yore were blood curdling to the pioneer and they jabber among themselves in their native tongue coaching one another. They will be an attraction not to miss.

    There are several cases of fever in and about town, mostly of the typho malarial type. The mayor and council are inforcing the sanitary laws strictly. Mr. John Hall is recovering from the fever. Miss Ovie Mills, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. D. A. Mills of Spann died July 10, from typhoid fever and buried at Pleasant Grove. She was just 23 and a faithful member of the Baptist church at Spann.

    "The Sun Beams" Society of the Baptist church were entertained at a picnic at Idylwild. Mr. L. A. Lovett just received a carload of the latest models of the reliable Fords. Hillard Hicks stood examination on June 30th before Judge J. L. Kent and notified July 10th of his admission to the bar. A. J. M. Robinson left for San Francisco. The Panama Exposition will be his main point of interest.

    The Farmers Union warehouse, which was destroyed by fire a year ago is now being rebuilt and should be in operation in 6 months. "Country Trading Store" is scheduled to open in the Daley building on West Elm street. J. Davidson is proprietor.

    A bill has been introduced to create the county of James, with  Adrian as the county seat. Soperton believes that this measure was introduced merely as a subterfuge to defeat the creation of Treutlen County.
