June 20, 1925.
Monday is the time set by Judge Camp for the Rawlings trial for the murder of Gus Tarbutton, unless the Court of Appeals has not yet decided on the change of venue motion. Meanwhile, the largest civil suit ever filed in the county was the suit of Fluker Tarbutton against C. G. Rawlings and J. J. Tanner for his father's loss of life on Ringjaw bluff.
Sheriff Claxton served Tanner in jail. Rawlings was served here by the Washington Co. Sheriff. Tarbutton is sueing them for $250,000.
About a half of a car load of chickens was sold here to a New York firm. The matter of school consolidation at Rehobeth lost by a vote of 19 for and 30 against. Col. J. Roy Rowland is in Atlanta being admitted to practice law in the highest courts of the state.
The Southern Pulp & Naval Stores Company will be erecting a large pulp Mill in Dublin. Rep. J. Marion Peacock of Lauren's Co. is introducing a bill barring dancing on Sunday, especially at public places, recreation resorts, beaches and at all regular dance halls. He declares he sees no more reason to allow Sunday dancing than there is in Sunday fishing. The young legislator puts both in the same category.
Confederate Memorial coins are now on sale at the Exchange Bank, Bank of Wrightville and Citizen's Bank of Kite. The County's quota is 5,000 coins with proceeds going to finish the carving on Stone Mountain. This will be a lasting tribute to the soldiers of the sixties.
Miss Adeline Snell married Mr. Allen Brantley at the home of Rev. O. H. Rhodes. They will reside with the bride's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Morgan A. Snell.
Lizzie Riner died at Rawlings Sanitarium last Saturday after several days illness. She was 84 years old on Feb. 9th and had been living with her nephew, Mr. Morgan Snell for some time. She was buried in the Snell family cemetery.
