April 9, 1926.
Two Lewis boys and Red Cason drew fines in City Court from a row Sunday at James Grove Church where a large crowd was at worship. Some kind of dispute got the boys dander up and soon threats of pistols and weapons of various sorts started when the deacons came out to quiet the affair. Sheriff Claxton arrested the boys and landed some heavy fines.
Ralph Rawlings Tanner, a son of J. J. Tanner and no blood relation to the Rawlings family was held in Bibb County jail on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of R. C. Cridlin, a traveling salesman from Richmond, Virginia. On March 12th Cridlin was crossing the street when Ralph hit him with his auto. At the time Tanner was charged with reckless driving. Cridlin was sent home to Virginia but later died from his injuries. Tanner claims if Cridlin hadn't been jay walking the accident would have never happened.
The druggist, merchants and officials, city and clubs, and a number of citizens protested to the legislature against the proposed tax on soft drinks.
Sheriff Claxton gives notice that after April 15th he will make cases against all auto owners who do not display their 1926 license tag on the rear of their autos. John E. Beasley files for bankruptcy.
Farming has gone well this week with ideal weather. Planting corn and some cotton is being done all over the county.
Farmer, dairyman, stockman, merchant and general all-round good citizen, Mr. William Jackson of Donovan, shows his hand along once in a while at some figures in almost everything he does. He kills a lot of meat every year, and this has been a good season for him. When he kills the meat he has his own cold storage room. A few days ago Mr. Jackson had a lot of 10 head of hogs he killed. In this lot were three head which when butchered weighed 1515 pounds. Their weights were 601, 512, and 402.
