    John J. Burns, Jack Burns and Mellie Brantley were elected as trustees for Sunshine School. Wrightsville chose two trustees in its recent election. The votes were E. L. Rowland 164, C. S. Claxton 82, W. C. Brinson 80. On the board with Rowland and Claxton are W. M. Shurling, T. L. and R. R. Martin.

    In a survey of storm damage to the county from the recent storms shows a huge loss. Corn was damaged to some extent but the largest loss was cotton. Probably 60 to 75 percent of the cotton south and east of Wrightsville is dead. Farmers are busy trying to replant.

    The first grade has an outbreak of the chicken pox including the teacher, Miss Louise Perkins. The Georgia Power Company air plane passed over Wrightsville giving the township a sight to see. It circled once and distributed batches of advertising matter, then headed north. 

    Col. & Mrs. J. Eugene Cook had a fine baby boy, Julian Eugene Cook, Jr. Miss Ruth Allen and Mr. Claude Hicks were married.

    Two trucks hit head on near the city. One was Mr. R. N. Stanley who was loaded. The other a Keel Lumber Company truck, the driver, Luther Manning had cuts and brusies but no one else was injured. A heavy wind blowing sand across the road as they approched each other prevented one of them from seeing the road.

    It is affirmed that the route from Wrightsville to Dublin will take the upper route by Mason's Springs because on January 1, 1922, it was the existing route No. 15. The Ordinary of Johnson County should at once complete the survey and procure the right-of-way as by law this work falls on the counties.
