The Schley County News Thursday, April 20, 1893 No. 15 Mrs. John P. Ross, of Macon is the guest of Miss Lula Murphy. Mr. M.J. Kent, formerly editor of the News, now has charge of a paper in Blackshear, Ga. Mr. Roy Baisden, of Americus, spent Sunday at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Murphy. Mr. and Mrs. Will Carter returned to Americus Sunday after a pleasant visit to Capt. and Mrs. Burton. Mr. H.T. Arrington and his family, Mrs. Peacock, and Mr. Lon Arrington, went out to Shiloh Sunday to visit their father's family. Mr.Peacock is having some improvements made on the store occupied by Collins and Williamson. When the coat of paint is added, it will be one of the handsomest business houses in town. Mr. Ed Strange was a welcome visitor to Ellaville last week. He is engaged in the wholesale grocery business in Columbus. While much pleased in his new home, no place can ever be quite as dear to his heart as Ellaville. There is an ordinance against reckless driving through the streets and it is violated almost every day. The law should be enforced, as the practice often endangers the lives of small children, who are playing in the streets. The many friends of Mrs. R.C. Meadows will be glad to learn that she is rapidly recovering. Her physician, Dr. W.D. Sears is confident that she will soon be entirely cured of the distressing malady from which she has suffered for months. Mrs. John Dozier died at her home five miles from Ellaville, Monday night after a long illness. The remains were entered in the family burial ground Tuesday afternoon. The sincere sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved ones in this sad affilction. Messrs. A. Allen, H.J. Williams, Ed Cheney and Claude Dixon went out to Stewart mills yesterday morning fully armed and equipped with the necessary tackle to land anything from a whale to a minnow. Their friends are momentarily expecting them to come in loaded down with fish stories. Mr. Kimball, a northern gentleman who has been spending the winter in Americus, visited Ellaville this week and was so delighted with our fine country that he is anxious to locate in our midst. If satisfactory arrangements can be made, he will at an early day move his family to one of our most desirable surburban places. Dr. McMichael has been critically ill for several days and the latest news is that he is improving. This will be gratifying news to his hosts of friends in this county.
