The Schley County News Friday, Sept. 24th, 1909 No.37 SCHLEY COUNTY BOYS HONORED AT THE THIRD AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE In the reorganization of the military department of the school, H.W. Rainey has been elected Captain of Company B, and J.M. Cook, First Sargent of Company B. Glenn Boland is Sargent Major of the Battalion. Mr. Cook is a senior and will be one of the first graduating class; Messrs. Rainey and Boland are both Juniors and stand high in their classes. The school is in a most prosperous condition. Arrangements are now being made to open up the Simmons home for a girls' dormitory. Thus the school will be able to admit about 25 more pupils. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mrs. W.D.Murray is spending the week in Americus. Mr. Charlie Pickard had business in Americus this week. Mrs. A. Allen gives notice of her Millinery opening with this issue. Thirteen cent cotton seems to be the talk in Ellaville. Mr. Walter Sellars is confined to his home with fever. Prof. W.E. Nichols, of Boston, is here today on business. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Arrington, of Americus, spent several days here this week with relatives. Bishop Seth Ward, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, died Monday, at Tokyo, Japan. Mr. J.W. Barnes, from Murray, was in town Wednesday and dropped-in and paid his subscription for 1999. Little J.R. Jordan, who has been quite sick for the past two days, is now much better. Superintendant Stevens is doing some good work on the public roads. So soon as the gang is increased, the work will go on nicely. Now, since Uncle Joe Hall, of Bibb, will not again offer for the legislature, that honorable body can change the game law each year at a reduced expense to the state. The friends of Miss Julia Scarborough will regret to learn that she happened to the misfortune of falling o the stairway last Tuesday, which resulted in the breaking of her arm. Hon. Seab Wright, of prohibition fame, has announced that he will never again offer an office "so long as there is breath in his body." He, perhaps, thinks he did plenty when he killed old booze in Georgia. We hope our readers will not forget that under the new registration law, it is necessary to register six months before any election to be entitled to vote. If you desire to vote in the election next year, don't forget this. It is not much to say of a man that he never had an enemy. You could write that over a cabbage head. It would be appropriate in an essay on mush. It makes a first class epitaph above the grave of an ox. If you never did anything to make anybody mad, you have been called a man merely through courtesy. You should apply for a place as a dummy in the window of a clothing store. GLENN HOLLY ITEMS We have had lots of rain in our community for the past few days which damaged the cotton that was open in the fields. The sick in the community are improving, we are glad to say. The singing given Saturday afternoon by Miss Helen Tondee was enjoyed very much. Only the young people were in a hard rain going home. Mr. Tucker Rainey left Saturday for Atlanta to attend the Medical College. His many friends wish for him a bright and prosperous future in his new course of study. Mr. Eugene Snipes and Mr. Edmond Perry, of Tazewell, were pleasant visitors in our neighborhood Sunday. Miss Helen Tondee entertained most delightfully a number of her friends Saturday evening in honor of her visitors, Misses Minnie Jones and Ida Johnson. Miss Marietta Lucas visited Miss Nell Lumpkin Saturday and Sunday. Mrs.J.H. Sellars is in Ellaville on a visit to her son, Mr. Walter, who is quite sick with fever. The entire community was saddened on last Friday afternoon to know the reaper of death had visited Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Sellars' home, and claimed their bright infant son, Henry Stephen, as one of the little angels of heaven. He was sick only a few days with cholera infantum and his death came as a shock to all. We would like to hear form Concord, Lewis, and Midway through the columns of the News. end # 37.
