For those of you who aren't already aware of this, Jerry Battle has put together over 300 photos of 1957 Ellaville from their Centennial celebration in 1957. They are truly wonderful pictures that he has made available at this link. http://www.ellavillega.com/MEMORIES/CENTENNIAL_1957/OPENING.htm If you don't get there at first try again a little later. I had a little trouble the first time. I know that it's getting a lot of hits, but it's worth the wait! Don't forget Schley County will be celebrating their 150th anniversary, Oct. 13, 2007. I'm making my plans now to attend. Be sure to look around at Jerry's Ellaville/Schley county site as well. http://www.ellavillega.com/ As he says, "Come by and set a spell." Harris

Several on this list are already know of this, but I'd like to make the rest of you aware of a new Yahoo Group that has been formed in the last week or so.

The Ellaville Sun Friday, July 23, 1937 No. 4 TEACHERAGE MOVED TO NEW LOCATION; GYM PARLEYS HELD The Teacherage for Schley County High School stood on it's new location Thursday, after having been moved to permit erection of the gymnasium on it's former site. School officials conferred (with?) architect, Hays Arnold, of Tho(maston?) (re)guarding plans which are being drawn. WORK COMMENCED ON CONSTRUCTION OF BOYETTE CLINIC HERE Modern Clinic Will be Built In Sixty Days Workmen were busy Thursday excavating ground for the erection of Boyette's Clinic here. Dr. L.S. Boyette who is building the clinic, said yesterday he expects the building to be completed within 60 days. The clinic will be built of brick and will have an asbestos roof. Five of the ten rooms will be used for patients. Most modern medical equipment will be installed throughout. Six men began full-time work on the project Monday. This will be one of the several projects which have sent construction activity here on a boom. Others include a canning plant, rebuilding and remodeling of both local gins, building a canning plant and office building, Baptist pastorium and a proposal to build a $11,000 gymnasium for Schley County High School. ESCAPED SCHLEY CONVICTS SOUGHT Officers throughout Georgia were on the alert Thursday for two white convicts who escaped from the Schley County Chain Gang Monday night. The men, Will Jacobs, 35, and Jack Henderson, 41 fled from the stockade between 9 and 10 o'clock Monday night and left the county in an automobile which they stole at the home of Glen Lindsay about a mile from here on Oglethorpe highway. The car which belonged to M.J. Arrington was found abandoned near Perry Tuesday, only damage inflicted being breaking of door lock. Despite a widespread search no trace of the refugees had been found yesterday afternoon. Jacobs, serving a one-year sentence for assault with intent to murder, was brought to Schley from Brantley county June 17 while Henderson, who was convicted of simple larceny in Meriwether county, was brought here from Muscogee County, two days later. Both were obtained to aid in building the canning plant. Ruddy faced Jacobs weighs 183 pounds and is six feet three inches tall, has grey eyes and brown hair. All of his upper teeth are missing and he bears a small scar on one of his elbows. Henderson, who has letters "USN" tattooed on his left forearm, weighs 170 pounds and is five feet eight and a half inches tall. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He previously drew prison sentences in South Carolina, in 1920 and in Georgia in 1932. EASON HOME IS DESTROYED Entire Contents Of Residence Lost Fire early Wednesday morning destroyed the house in Midway community occupied by Mr. W.T. Eason, The home was owned by Mr. Will Wall. The fire gained headway before it was discovered about 5 o'clock and efforts of neighbors who rushed to the rescue proved vain. Entire contents of the house and several small nearby buildings were a total loss which was estimated at $1, 250. W.T. HAMMONDS IS PAID TRIBUTE Funeral services for Mr. W.T. Hammonds of Junction City were conducted from Concord Methodist Church last Thursday afternoon. Burial took place in the church cemetery. Mr. Hammonds had lived in Junction City several years, but for a long period was a well known Schley County farmer. SO MUCH FUN PACKED INTO 6 DAYS Dyxie Standridge Of Ellaville Wins First Place In Sun 4H Club Competition (Note: The following article won Dyxie Standridge of Ellaville a $1.00 prize, given by The Sun, the essay being awarded first place in competition with work of other 4-H club girls who made the trip to Athens. E.M. Palmer, superintendent of Schley County High School, was the judge.) BY DYXIE STANDRIDGE When Mr. Hamil first told us about the 4-H club camp to be held at Camp Wilkins, July 12-26, we had no idea that so much fun could be packed into six days. We left Monday on the school bus with Mr. Hamil and our chaperons, Mrs. E.C. Rigsby and Miss Lucile Thompson. We had lunch in Eatonton and afterwards went to see Eagle Park. Late that afternoon we arrived in Athens and went to Camp Wilkins. After supper we attended the association meeting and had a good night's rest preparatory to an early morning reville. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we Schley County girls together with the remaining 308 Georgia girls enjoyed swimming and interesting talks on ways to wear your hair, how to dress proper, craft, poultry raising, marketing, canning, grape growing, diet, and home making. We learned new club friendship songs and made many new friends. On stunt night Schley County won third place in the state. We left Athens early Friday morning and stopped in Atlanta, there we went through Sears Roebuck and Company, Grant Park, and the Capitol. While at the capital we enjoyed seeing the stuffed animals and sitting in the governor's chair. From Atlanta we came to Griffin and had lunch. After riding, singing, laughing and talking all day we reached home a tired but happy bunch of girls. Those enjoying this trip were: Misses Anne Stevens, Lane Hill, Hazel Rigsby, Lucile Parks, Mary Frances Peny, Helen Murray, Dot Brewer, Ruth Cook, Vida Ruth Tondee, Julia Johnson, Virginia Murray, Elise Cosper, Hilda(?) Cosper, Inez Williams, Margaret McMickle, and Dyxie Standridge. SCHLEY PINES RANK AT TOP; WORK BOOMS More Than 150 Are Employed Here By Paper Industry by Ross Wyrosdick Schley County's short leaf pine ranks with the finest timber of the state in the production of paper pulp, according to B.E. Pelham, local representative of the Kraft Paper Corporation of Panama City, Fla. The comparatively new industry has been on the boom here for the past several months, giving employment to about 150 persons for a weekly payroll of approximately $1,500 per week, Pelham said. Kraft Corporation has absorbed the entire shipment of Schley timber, converting the pine into paper bags, boxes, and other paper articles. "We accept timber from four to 13 inches in diameter and sometimes larger, if it is necessary too preserve and utilize all parts of the tree," the Kraft official asserted. Pelham cautions farmers to safeguard against forest fires and foresees a bright and paying future for the industry, he declared, is uncertain at the present as it is resting solely in the hands of the land owners, but the production of suitable timber will continue to thrive if proper care and precaution is exercised for its preservation. SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan DOMESTIC SNAKES Our wide awake Glen Holly correspondent, Miss Eugenia Snipes, writes an item about a snake killer: "Clyde Taylor must get credit for his experiences in killing rattlesnakes." One day, recently, he killed a rattlesnake under his bed and another on the front porch of his home. Too, it would seem Clyde should get credit for something or other if he slept on the same bed the next night. TO AGAIN SEE WELL Mrs. John Wall may not have to wear her dark glasses much longer. In Atlanta last week, her doctor expressed belief he would be able next week to fit a pair of glasses, enabling her to see well again out of the one eye which recently has shown so much improvement. Several months ago grave fears were felt for sight of both her eyes, and for a time she barely retained sight. BOTTLE DRINKS BANNED If you want a bottled Coca Cola, don't try to get it at an Ellaville drug store. Local druggists have placed a ban on the bottled drink because of the extra, cost-telling demands brought by customers. The practice of providing a glass or cup, crushed ice, sometimes a cherry or an olive for the standard price is an expensive one, they point out, besides the bottle breakage tool. BIRTHDAY WISHES Birthday wishes to little Francine Middleton of Ellaville and Miss Mary Alice Barwick of County Line who pass milestones Saturday. And Geida (Guida?) Murray celebrated her birthday yesterday, having a great time despite the hindrance of a broken arm. Sammie Philmon of LaCrosse observed a birthday Sunday, July 18. OUT OF THE PAST Fifty Years Ago (1887) Real nice watermelons and plentiful at 5 cents each. Captain William Allen sent lemonades to the entire force of The Enterprise Tuesday afternoon. When you want a cool lemonade of soda, call on Mr. Allen. Mrs. Dukes, wife of Uncle Jerry Dukes, died at her home in this county, on Monday morning. Protracted meeting will begin at the Baptist church next Saturday. Twenty-Five Years Ago (1912) Hon. Charles R. Crisp of Americus, third district congressman, made a surprise address here Friday afternoon, July 19, but despite the short notice one of the largest and most appreciative audiences ever assembled here heard to solon. Hon. J.R. Williams introduced him. Ellaville's baseball club blanked Leslie here July 24th. Not a single Leslie runner got to third base. Mrs. Jane Hartsfield, a prominent Schley County woman, died early in the morning of July 20 after a long illness. Dynamoes and other material for the erection of a municipal electric light plant arrived this week. end # 4

The Ellaville Sun July 16, 1937 Vol. 1 No. 3 MRS. AMANDA ROOKS, THANKFUL FOR 94 YEARS OF LIVING, ATTRIBUTES LONGEVITY TO HEALTH-LORD Reached Her 94th Milestone On Last May 8. Ninety-four year old Mrs. Mandy Rooks, thankful and white-haired, says in a voice still ringing with an unmistakable enthusiasm for life that "good health and the help of the Lord allowed me to get this far." Gracious Mrs. Rooks, enjoying fine health despite her advanced age, lives contentedly in County Line community at the home her late husband built for her in 1874--sixty three years ago. Her daughter, Mrs. Dora Young, resides with her. She became 94 May 8, having been born in Chambers county, Alabama, in 1843--when John Tyler was president. Asked if she believes she will reach 100, Mrs. Rooks just shakes her head and replies, "Oh, I don't know...I'm so old now." Recalls Romance "I feels so thankful...I do feel thankful," the aged Schley county woman emphasized as she recalled occurrences of her life when talking to a staff writer for The Sun a few days ago. Mrs. Rooks likes to recall the early days of her married life. She was married to Timothy Rooks, a veteran of the War of the States, December 10, 1872. A severe spell of rainey and cold weather started on their wedding day, and relatives insisted they remain at the home of his parents, in Shiloh community, Sumter County, until it ceased. After a week they set out for his farm in Schley county. They went by buggy over a road badly washed by heavy rainfall, and the progress was slow---but she never took a happier ride. Mrs. Rooks' lovely blue eyes became kindled by fires of tender recollections as she smiled and remembered, "He was the happiest man I ever saw....He loved me so....I came to this hill that day and I've lived here ever since." "We lived in a little house made of split logs, with a stick and mud chimney for about a year, but I was happier then than I've ever been," she reminisced. Because "Mr. Rooks was a powerful hand to save money," there was soon another home. He paid cash in gold for the material for it. "That's been a long time ago," "Miss Mandy, for he always called her that when he didn't call her Mommie" she mused. The steady click of the grandfather's clock on the mantelpiece was the only sound to be heard. Then she glanced up and said, softly: "Mr. Rooks bought me that clock two years after we were married--and it's been a good one. I wake up, sometimes in the middle of the night and hear it strike, and it's company for me....." Her husband died in July, 1930, and was active in farming until the time of his death. Youngest of ten children, "Miss Mandy" had as her task the milking of four cows a day before she was 12 years old. Kindly Mrs. Rooks is tolerant toward the ways of the present generation. She frankly admits she sees nothing so badly wrong with it, but she does insist "they don't know anything about hardships." She doesn't like to talk about "the war." Because, she explains "I was raised in a war generation." Once, however, she recalled, she paid $18.00 for a pack of needles. Enjoys Radio Mrs. Rooks walks with difficulty, requiring assistance of a cane and a companion. She is very fond of the radio, and "lives on daylight savings time" so she can keep up with the programs without trouble. WSB of Atlanta is her favorite station. "Miss Mandy" joined the joined Methodist church when she was 24, and her membership is at a County Line church. Nowadays she can't attend services, but she deeply appreciates and enjoys the radio worship hours. Morgan Blake, sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, who teaches the Agoga Bible class of the Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta is her favorite. Her parents were Elizabeth and Henry Lansford. While she was still a child they moved to Sumter County, Ga., ---now part of Terrell. Part of her "war days" were spent with her uncle in Middleton, Ga. Her grandfather on her mother's side was a captain in the Revolutionary War and her father was a captain in the War of 1812. Mrs. Rooks, whose full name is Narcissus Amanda, has five living children--three sons and two daughters; 33 grandchildren, including a set of twins, and 26 great grandchildren PROGRESS OF SIX MONTHS OUTSTANDING Schley county has staged a big march of progress during the past six months which makes certain that she, though one of the smallest counties in Georgia, will be given much consideration in The Atlanta Constitution's $7,500 Progressive Counties Awards, to be made at the close of the year. Thirteen awards will be made by The Constitution counties making the greatest advancement during the year. C.S. Wall, chairman of the Schley county Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues, officially entered Schley in the campaign this year. A summary of projects on the docket follows: Preliminary work already has been started toward erection of an $11,000 gymnasium by Schley County High School, with completion expected this fall. Dr. L.S. Boyette plans to build a modern clinic here within a few weeks. County Commissioners are constructing a modern brick building which will house a public canning plant and an office building for agricultural and welfare officials. Congregation of Ellaville Baptist Church will build an eight-room pastorium, which will be occupied this week. The church previously has never had a pastorium. Rural electrification has reached the county, many homes in Andrew Chapel community having taken part in the project. Other power projects are being planned. Both local gins are being rebuilt and equipped throughout with latest machinery, in preparation for the coming harvest season. Development of the boys' and girls' 4-H club movement, begun in the spring, promises many benefits. At the half-way mark, Commissioner Wall declared this week that the County Commissioners hope to launch several new programs during the latter half if the year which will be of major improvement to the county, and the same time help tremendously in the awards program. HENRY HARVEY PAID TRIBUTE Former Schley County Farmer Is Buried On Thursday Funeral services for Mr. Henry Harvey, about 60, who died at the Americus and Sumter County Hospital Wednesday night at 6 o'clock, were conducted from Bethel Church in Taylor County Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Harvey had been residing at Rupert for the past several years but for a long period was a well-known Schley County farmer. He underwent a major operation about a week prior to his death. Surviving besides his widow, are six daughters, Mrs. Will Sellars, Mrs. Frank Allmon and Mrs. Johnny DeVane, all of Schley county; Mrs. Bernice Simmons, of Thomaston and Mrs. Oliver of Rupert; one son, J.P. Harvey of Rupert. SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan Moulton in Alabama J.C. Moulton, longtime and well-liked editor of the Schley County News, is now with the Linville, Ala. Tribune. The masthead of the Tribune--an attractive paper with lots of home news and features--says "Linville is located in the richest agricultural section of East Alabama." Raises Fine Melons P.H. (Plem) Johnson of Andrew Chapel community had a fine yield from his watermelon acreage. And exceptional melons, too. He brought this department a 41 pounder, along with his paid subscription to The Sun, Monday. After He's Gone--- Three year old Billy Easterlin visited his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Battle, here several days recently, and after a few days was back for a pop call. And Billy asked his aunt, Miss Mary Battle, "Who do you speak at now? She didn't understand. So he explained: "Well, while I was here you said, "Billy, eat your oatmeal, Billy, don't talk so much, Billy, don't talk so much, Billy, don't smack, ---and I jest wondered who you speak at now." Hearty Greetings Birthday remembrances and greetings will be in order today for Mrs. C.B. Barnes, of Ebenezer, and Jack Tondee and Miss Margaret Souter of Ellaville, Miss Margaret Green also has one today. Welton Wall of Glen Holly had a birthday Tuesday, July 13, and Mrs. Felder McCorkle, now of Montezuma, recently of Ellaville observes hers tomorrow. Mrs. Harry Murray of Ellaville reaches another milestone Sunday and, for a coincidence, her brother-in-law Oscar Murray, an old Ellaville boy who now lives in Orlando, Fla., has one the same day. And it was the same year, too. Sunday, too, will be a birthday for Mrs. W.H. Oliver and Mrs. E.E. Jernigan. And they will pass out best wishes to Mrs. Alvin Snipes of Glenn Holly July 20. Don't forget to send birthdays, anniversaries, and the like to this department. OUT OF THE PAST 50 years ago (1887) Mr. W.K. Pilsbury, Americus Recorder writer her to cover court for his paper, and also of the Griffin Light Guards, Co. B, was delighted to find upon his visit that a unanimous sentiment prevails among the surviving members of the Fifth Georgia regiment to sponsor a reunion of the organization here next August 25. Judge T.F. Rainey surprised the editor with a bucket of fine China Cling peaches, some of them weighing 14 ounces. The young people enjoyed a very pleasant musical entertainment at the home of Capt. W.D. Murray Tuesday evening. The Ellaville "Kids" so they say, are teaching the country boys how to play croquet. Mrs. Mattie Green has opened a soda water and lemonade stand in town. 25 years ago (1912) Ellaville's ball club is planning a big day for July 19. The club will give a barbecue at Burton Grove at noon and everybody is invited to come, bring a basket, and help make the day a success. The Buena Vista club will be played in two games, the morning game at 10 o'clock and the afternoon game at 3:30 o'clock. The Ellaville boys beat Leslie, 7 to 5, last week. Williamson distinguished himself with some heavy hitting in the game. He drove home Hill with a three base hit early in the game and hit a home run later, driving in two runs ahead of him. end # 3

We will be beginning transcription of early issues of The Ellaville Sun. In fact we begin with the third issue of this paper, dated Friday, July 16, 1937.

Collins was overshadowed with sadness on last Sunday night when angel of death entered and plucked from their presence and companionship their darling little girl baby, Mary. She was only about three months old, yet her short stay within the home had formed ties of affection that it seemed almost cruel that they should be broken so soon, thus leaving a mother's love withourt consolation save the assurance that the "Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," and that the precious little soul of Mary is now abiding with the Lord.

HOLLOWAY In the death of Wm. M. Holloway which occured at his home near County Line church on last Saturday afternoon, the county loses one of it's oldest and most worthy citizens. He was 69 years of age, and was one of the few men left in our county who served four full years in the civil war. It has been the good fortune of the editor of this paper to know Mr. Holloway all our days and it affords us great pleasure to say of him that his long life was not only filled with charitable deeds, but was a thorough exemplification of all that was good and pure. He never did a man wrong intentionally; if he committed error, it was of the head rather than the heart. His tender and untiring devotion to his family was one of his most lovable traits of character. The funeral services where at County Line church Sunday afternoon, conducted by C.A. Norton in the presence of a large host of relatives and friends.
