April 18,1925.
Judge Camp refused to allow bail for C. G. Rawlings last Friday at the bond hearing. He remains in the county jail until the higher court ruled on the change of venue proposition. J. J. Tanner was returned to jail here from Dublin.
Ordinary U. R. Jenkins is doing the needed repairs to the courthouse having alot of inside work done and painting on the wood parts inside and out. It has been needed for some time and the Grand Jury recommended it.
Mr. & Mrs. G. C. Reese had a son born March 29th. Miss Bernice Lewis married Mr. Marvin Davis at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Chas. S. Claxton on North Marcus street.
Interest in the Bee-Line highway has taken on new life with brighter prospects this time. Harvey Granger of Savannah who worked on the Coastal Highway project is now working on a road from Savannah to Macon to Atlanta, and doing it by bonds.
This has been discussed by Johnson County the past 4 years and the efforts of the Bee-Line Assoc. that the National Congress has put through a bill authorizing the erection of a bridge over the Oconee River, the only real barrier on the route and would cross some point between Ringjaw Bluff and Balls Ferry. The road would put towns from Swainsboro and Kite 30 miles closer to Macon and would be the shorter route.
This highway would open up vast territory to business and industry. The road from Kite to the Oconee is already in fine shape thanks to Ordinary Jenkins.
A meeting with representatives of 18 counties will be in Savannah on April 23rd. The committee from Johnson includes J. M. Cook, U. R. Jenkins, A. L. Hatcher, Dr. J. W. Brinson, Chas. D. Roundtree, G. W. Hutchinson, R. D. Hodges, L. L. Lovett, J. B. Williams, W. C. Brinson, R. R. Martin, T. E. Hayes, W. J. Flanders, W. H. Lovett, T. V. Kent, J. H. Rowland, F. F. Flanders and E. E. Sanders.
