From Days Gone By May 5, 1922

May 5, 1922.
    The Church of the Nazarene, using the tent, is still doing business back of the Opera Housr nightly when the soul-stirring sermons of Mrs. Nina Dean and Mrs. Olive Rife fall upon the tentative ears of hundreds who attend each night to hear these two lady preachers. People from 20 to 30 miles around have come to visit the meetings. It has lasted a week and looks to go on at least another week.
    A delegation from Wrightsville and Adrian have gone to Atlanta to appear before the state highway department on road matters which interest Johnson County. One project is the Bee-Line highway and also the Wrightsville- Adrian- Scott- Soperton- Mt. Vernon highway roads.
    The many samples of grain exhibited at the Headlight office shows the people of the county to be growing some of the best they ever raised up to now. The lpngest and largest, strongest, and firmest, with big heads, most of which is maturing now. One most recently was brought in by RFD carrier E. J. McAfee from the farm of Mr. C. D. Henderson.
    The mayor and council of Wrightsville have directed the enforcement of the ordinance prohibiting hogs from being penned in said city in pens of less size than 20 feet square to the hog. J. C. Claxton, Chief of Police will be around to check your premises.

    Mrs. W. W. Anthony will have a big family reunion for her eight children, at her spacious home on North Marcus street. Mr. Lee Kennedy, accompained by officer Lester, from the State Farm at Milledgeville arrived in town to visit his seriously sick family member, Mr. O. A. Kennedy.
    The school at Myrtle Grove closed with a big day at Hall's Landing on the Ohoopee River. There was but little property put up for sale here during the Sheriff Sales. Mr. J. C. Coleman is manager of the Stretch-Your-Nickle-Stores in Wrightsville.
    County Agent M. E. Crow spent the week at Tifton meeting of South Georgia County Agents. Mr. Crow also states if you have any clean, nice shoats, weighing anywhere from 85 to 125 pounds, he can sell them for you at a very good price if done before May 10th.
    Thirty thousand dollars in hard cash was distributed in the county. The money from the six cars of hogs, 100 bales of cotton, three cars of cattle, velvet beans, peanuts, chickens and eggs and the veterans pension money amounted to $30,000.
    On April 23, Miss Laura Liles and Mr. Phillip Wilkins were married by Judge E. W. Carter. Mr. Carter married the parents of the groom 22 years earlier one half mile from where these were married.
   Some things Wrightsville doesn't need: Grand Opera, a grave digger's bureau, the buzz of green bottle flies, a hard boiled pessimist, a grouchy grouch, a hypocrite, booze-fighters, flappers or floppers, flirts or tea hounds, vamps or the like. But it does need to clean up fly nests and dens.
