January 26, 1923.
Alvie Price was given a peliminary hearing before a large crowd of spectators. In the assualt with an attempt to murder charge a bond of $1000 was assessed when the hearing ended and a bond of $500 in the other case which was larceny.
The other case against him happened sometime prior to the two upon which the bonds were assessed and this bond is still over him in addition to the two fixed at Friday's hearing. Judge B. B. Blount appeared for the defendant, the State being represented at the hearing by Judge B. H. Moye. At this time Price was still in jail.
Mr. E. J. Sumner, one of Johnson's most prosperous, wealthy citizens was able to attend the hearing, his head which still bears the deep signs of the carburetor where the lick was placed is healing up quite well. Mr. Sumner is the prosecutor in the assualt and larceny case.
The Redjackets, the school team, will go up against Cochran High team in basketball on Friday night. This is one of the best teams in the state. On Feb. 7th, Brewton-Parker comes to play the Redjackets. The Adrian Athletic Club met a bad defeat at the hands of the Bearcats 75 to 21.
J. B. Paul, Jr. will sing "School Days" at the Dixie Theatre with Freckles Barry in the picture by the same name. Also Gloria Swanson shows off her pretty gowns in "The Great Moment".
Agent M. E. Crow is in Athens attending a farmers meeting. Wrightsville Hardware Co. has genuine Avery, Oliver, Lynburg, Chattanooga, Gantt, Farmers Friend and Dixie plows. You can come to Lovett's Filling Station and have your cars washed, no waiting, good service every day of the week.
Mr. James H. McWhorter, Wrightsville's postmaster, was honored by the Georgia State League of Postmasters at Atlanta. Application for parole for Jim Johnson, serving a life sentence for murder, will be made to the Governor and prison Commission.
We are spending still here in Johnson more money for fertilizers than we are getting from the sale of corn, hay and peas. Last January only seven cars of fertilizer were handled by the W. & T., this January the figures will run up to 107 which shows a heavy cotton acreage likely.
Sunday afternoon at the home of Mr. & Mrs. C. J. Smith, their daughter, Miss Zelma Smith wed Mr. Marvin Snell the eldest son of Mr. W. N. Snell.
Mr. D. C. Price killed a large porker which netted him 534 pounds of fine meat and is one of the largest killings of the season.
The W. & T. Railway Co. was made a defendant in a big suit for damages supposed and alleged to have been sustained by Mr. J. E. Joiner, when the latter boarded their train at Meadows on the 14th of December last year.
Col. R. P. Jackson filed the suit for the man and wife in City Court. Col. Chas. S. Claxton is the railroad attorney. Mrs. Della C. Joiner is asking for a judgement of $25,000 against the company, the sum her husband suing for being $15,000. This is one of the largest damage suits filed here in many years.
The statement is made in some parts of the state that some counties are dispensing with their county agents. Counties that do this will make a serious mistake. If there ever was a time when on the farms, we needed every possible guidance and instruction, it is now. Latter-day demands on the farm call for the employment there of every knowledge which science and experience can impart. The county agents, without exception are young men finely schooled in all the latest instruction bearing on agriculture. They are invaluable on the farms.
You can't build a town and knock its businesses and people. Let's buy at home, trade at home, spend at home, be happy at home. A good crop of home-raised common sense will assist too.
