FROM DAYS GONE BY May 28,1926

 May 28, 1926.

    The Bee Line Springs at Kite is the mecca daily now for resort seekers coming from every direction, although its owner, Mr. Ernest J. Claxton, has not quite gotten all his plans completed and the resort fixed up as it will be before many days.

    The bathing pool is being used daily now and the water is fine and fresh all the time. Bathing there Sunday was under full headway. The flow of the large well into the pool keeps the water fresh. A long line of bath houses are going up and soon a large pavilion will be built and the entire lot around the pool will be fixed first class.

    Hundreds of cars go there every day. Mr. Charles M. Schwalls sold Mr. Claxton a certain area around this spot for a resort and Claxton is making good of it. People are seeking lots from Mr. Schwalls to build houses near these two large wells.

    It was a great day for the Bee Line Highway in Wrightsville. Bibb, Wilkinson, Washington, Johnson and Emanuel sent delegations to meet with the Wrightsville Commercial Club here. Each county pledged to aid in anyway to get the State to adopt this highway on June 9th at Louisville.

    The Southeastern Union Singing Convention will hold its third annual session at the court house on June 4th. Judge U. R. Jenkins received the veterans pension money for the second quarter totalling $2400. It covered $50 each to the twenty-five widows and twenty-three veterans from the Civil War.

    The new Federal Court has at last been established in Dublin which will be called The Dublin Division of the Southern District of Georgia. The first session is planned for June 21st. Judge William H. Barrett will be the Judge of this new division. There will be ten counties in this division. These are: Dodge, Telfair, Jeff Davis, Wheeler, Montgomery, Toombs, Treutlen, Emanuel, Johnson and Laurens.

    Mr. Morgan Meeks celebrated his 65th birthday with a big dinner. Mr. James Lee Tapley files for bankruptcy. At the Dixie Theatre this week is Ora Carewe in "Waterfront Wolves" and Buddy Roosevelt in "Rip Roarin Roberts".

    Mayor Martin says all property owners are required to protect their water meters from damage. If they are, the owner will pay to repair it. The current is on as the power lines to the city have been charged. It was cut back off for the telephone lines to be put up so linemen would not be harmed climbing the poles.
