FROM DAYS GONE BY Oct.2, 1920

October 2, 1920.

    The Potato House is completed and an opening date to be announced soon. Mr. J. Johnson has been hired on to manage it. Anyone wanting space to store their taters needs to see him at once. The house is built in three sections with each section having a capacity of 5000 bushels. When filling a section it is essential that it be completed in six days, then closed and the curing process begun.
    Dr. C. E. Brinson who has recently gained prominence in this section as a Hampshire raiser, hosted members of the Sunshine Sale Circuit at Idylwild where around 25 breeders came to enjoy a meal by Brinson. The sale circuit was set for sales to be held throughout the year at Cochran, Wrightsville, Statesboro, Midville and Waynesboro.
    Farm Demonstration agent M. E. Crow hosted a bbq at his home celebrating his 46th . Capt. T. J. Brantley, U. R. Jenkins, W. C. Chester and G. V. McCray will go to the old soldier's reunion in Texas. Mr. & Mrs. W. O. Davis announced the birth of a daughter on September 24th. Mr. W. J. Carter will marry Miss Annie Catherine Lee of Americus on November 7th. Mr. & Mrs. G. A. Faircloth had a daughter on September 18th.
    Mr. Daniel H. Tuttle of the eastern part of the county came to the city calling on the Wrightsville Hardware Co. and after trading a nice bill, he left some corn with Mr. George Smith to go in the fair this fall here. This corn is of the Lockdale variety and was worked by Mr. Tuttle himself in 1919 and does not have a weevil in it.
    He is 91 years old but is still farming. He made 60 bushels per acre last year. He told Mr. Smith that this years crop will be the last that D. H. Tuttle will ever raise. Mr. Tuttle did not have any glasses on and while trading he kept a record od his purchases and calculated it himself. He has raised this corn for 40 years and has always had corn for sale. He is a produce farmer and lives above board all the time. All the young boys will be able to meet Mr. Tuttle at the fair.
    The banks released their statements of condition. Exchange Bank $384,574.10; The Bank of Wrightsville $442,366.18; The Farmers Bank $192,553.19; The Bank of Adrian $238,177.93; The Citizens Bank of Kite $235,884.75.
    Mr. J. R. Moore is calling on every farmer in the county, white and colored, land owner or tenant to come out an take stock in the Johnson County Selling Organization. A method by which we can sell our stock and farm products direct to the consumer. The organization will come under the head of the Farm Bureau. In Sumpter County, the agent reports he saved the people over $75,000 by selling hogs on the co-op movement,  above the market price and saving in freight. He says peanuts and other products can be ha dled the same way.
    At last there are plenty of signs of a return to good living conditions. Automobiles, clothing, shoes, flour, sugar, furniture and many other things have gone off anywhere from ten to fifty per cent within the last 15 days. Let the good work go on, if only cotton and farm products could remain up at a price commensurate with the cost of production and supplies the last part of the year. But even cheaper cotton will go further at a cheaper price for merchandise.
    Wrightsville needs among many other things earlier mail facilities, a telegraph office up town, a few streets worked and a section of weeds cut. Also a lot of old, grouchy prejuices killed.
