FROM DAYS GONE BY Dec. 5, 1919

December 5, 1919.

There was a special meeting of the Johnson County Farmers Union which a large assemblage gathered to dispense with a lot of business. Mr. Charlie M. Dent chaired the meeting. Mr. R. P. Hicks gave a interesting summing up of his work before the legislature last summer and said he was well received. Col. Ben Hill Moye was elected as delegate to the state convention in Atlanta.
New officers were elected for 1920. Mr. C. M. Dent was chosen as county president with Mr. G. B. Maddox as vice-president and Mr. C. D. Henderson secretary-treasurer. Mr. R. E. Kitchens is door minder and Mr. R. A. Green inside conductor.
At least three Johnson County banks are deeply interested in the club work of Miss Massey in the county. These banks are The Bank of Wrightsville, The Exchange Bank and the Citizens Bank of Kite. They offered a scholarship each at the state college of agriculture this year. Mr. John B. Greenway won the prize offered by the Kite bank, Miss Corene Hammock came out with the one offered by the Bank of Wrightsville and Miss Lavada Price won the premium offered by the Exchange Bank. John Edward Vanlandingham won the scholarship of $30 valuation donated by the Central of Georgia Railway.
The professional fishermen, Messrs. Leon A. Lovett, Jim Roe Cook, Charles Claxton and their friend, Bob Pritchett of Atlanta, are leaving Wrightsville tonight for St. Marx, Florida, down below Tallahassee for their regular outing. They will be gone about three weeks. Jim Roe bought the supplies and strange to say this time he took in the drug store on his filling-up rounds. Their luck will mostley depend on the duration of their supply of "long green" is a safe bet.
Dr. Vestus Schwalls is operating a drug store at Scott now. J. J. and M. A. Snell has posted their land for no trespassing. William Jackson of Donovan has one Overland truck for sale very cheap. John R. Moore wants to pay high cash for your corn and cow peas.
At their recent meeting in Atlanta the Prest-O-Lite Company made a strong showing in their convention idea of dealer education. Mr. W. R. Gatlin of the City Garage says one thing he learned outside the practical end of it, was the scarcity of new batteries, that according to reports there would not be more than four million new batteries to supply the more than five million cars, old and new. He says he wants to impress upon auto owner the need to keep their batteries in good trim and condition all of the time and conserve them in every possible way to help out in this shortage.
M. E. Woods, Wrightsville's garage owner says he is operating a clean up-to-date business. Expert automobile repairing, gasoline engine repair, battery, starter and generator repairs, Delco light plant repairs and repairs on any electrical apparatus. Star, General and McGraw tires, fabric and cord. His slogan is the best work and best prices, which means satisfaction.
