Gone By Nov. 9,1923

 November 9,1923.

    Under the chairmanship of Mrs. P. H. Jeter of Decatur, Georgia, has made a reality of her portion of the great national route, the Jefferson Davis Highway. Her organization has co-operated with Mr. I. Gelder's, of Fitzgerald, in the work of marking and beautifing this memorial road, which extends in Georgia, from Augusta to Eufaula, Ala. The completed highway runs from Washington, D. C. to San Francisco and will be a lasting memorial, telling to the world that the memory of Jefferson Davis will be kept fresh and bright forever. No enterprise could be undertaken in Georgia with greater sentimental appeal to our people.

    It is essential for making and keeping this highway as fine, as beautiful and as useful as was the life of the man after whom it is named, that every member of Georgia Division give her, whole-hearted help. This is said to be the most stupendous undertaking ever sponsored by a women's organization alone, and the fact should be sufficient to make us bend every effort to show that we are fully capable of doing work of such magnitude.

    There were at least 25 cars carrying 5 person's per car from here to Savannah for the motorcade. There were Studebakers, Oakland's, Ford's, Dodge, Buick's, Willys-Knight and Chalmers driven by J. H. Rowland, W. F. Outlaw, Dr. T. E. Vickers, B. I. Kight, Alvin Claxton, Judge A. L. Hatcher, Willie Herringbone, Jesse Anderson, D. G. Wilson, J. D. Wheeler, G. S. Brown, W. C. Brinson, M. T. Riner, G. V. McCray and J. M. Johnson.

   There were $342 in prizes awarded to county club members who participated in the big fairs of the state. Up to now Johnson has ginned 3,923 bales of cotton this year.

    Prof. Luther Lillard is an official candidate for school superintendent, and so is A. J. M. Robinson. J. Roy Rowland officially comes out for solicitor of City Court. The Executive Committee will meet Nov. 12th to set the primary date for the races. Mr. John C. Powell is urged to run for tax collector.

    Mr. Thurston Anderson, son of Judge & Mrs. Z. A. Anderson was rushed to Brigham Hospital for appendicitis. Mr. J. Tom Davis is a salesman with Hayes Cash Store.

    County Warden Wright is doing alot of patchwork to roads and bridges now which have grown into a desperate condition from the heavy travel of logging trucks over them lately. The highway Dept. at Dublin is working the road this way and putting in good shape, fixing the bridges. They are also working on their portion of the Jeff Davis Highway.

    The weather being so inclement lately was the cause of offering for sale of several wagon loads of fat pine knots coming from the country. This kind of fuel is becoming very scarce in this section. Dr. J. W. Brinson laments the disappearance of the old pine knot-- the pine knot-- of his boyhood days. He says the happiest days of his life was sitting by a blazing pine knot-- fire at night, wearing only a shirt, roasting yams, drinking cane juice, and playing with a lively, squint-eyed fice.

    Mr. Harvie Thompson and Miss Nettie Mae Rowland were married, as was John Smith and Miss Lucile Mimbs. Miss Lydia Davis we'd Mr. Claude Bray.

    Mr. Lewis L. Lovett says Wrightsville will eat oranges this Christmas. He will have a solid carload shipped directly here from the Grove of Mr. E. A. Lovett at Fort Meade, Fla.

    The membership of Beulah church in the Donovan community will honor the 83rd birthday of Mrs. W. H. Harrison. She was a charter member of this church.
