    Sheriff Lewis Davis who's right eye became afflicted in some way and began growing worse until he became uneasy and called Dr. S. M. Johnson and an eye specialist of Dublin, Dr. Blackshear, who, with the assistance of Dr. Edmondson of Dublin, had to remove the eye.
    An abcess formed on the eye which destroyed vision and decayed the organ, the doctors deciding on its removal. Sheriff Davis is getting along fine and is hoped to be up again soon.
    The fair association is now talking about having a week of jubilee next October in place of the fair. The local potato house is again open for business and accepting potatoes under the management of Mr. John Redding Williams. The state superintedant is calling for a Education Week, December 3rd to 9th.
    Warden R. M. Stanley is enroute road building towards Scott and will head on into Adrian as soon as possible. He moved his camp near Garnto's water mill and aims to complete that section by winter quarters. Road building on all that side of the county is receiving much attention, the state highway department having a gang on the Dixie Overland from Scott to Adrian for some time now.
    Agent Crow is in Savannah at the fair. Judge H. B. Strange was stricken on the bench at Statesboro. He was finishing a forceful charge when he suddenly became dazed and fell from the chair, a physical collapse.
    Mr. H. L. Collier, Jr., insurance rep of Americus, came over to Wrightsville in an aeroplane which he had at Southern Field to adjust the Bray's merchantile claim against Home Insurance Company. Upon reaching the city and looking for a landing place he decided to try an old field near the college, coming down and lighting all right, but in the running before the stop a wing hit a low stump and damaged it some. This was repaired for his flight home. As he arose and making his getaway from this old field he misjudged some tall bushes and the plane began to zig-zag until it swooped down in another part of the field upside down. He was unhurt but the plane could not be repaired so he sold it to a local garage man.
