FALL FATAL TO CHILD, 5 A five-year-old Marion county boy died at Boyette's clinic here last Friday afternoon shortly after he had been admitted for treatment of injuries suffered when he fell from a moving automobile. The boy, Frank Killingsworth, fell from the car when a door flew open as the family rode on a highway above Buena Vista. Suffering a crushed chest, he was carried to Buena Vista where medical aid was unavailable, and afterwards brought here. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. F.S. Killingsworth of Marion county. Funeral services were conducted from Bethel church in Marion county Sunday. APPRECIATION TO OUR FRIENDS OF ELLAVILLE AND OF SCHLEY COUNTY Let us take this method of saying to you who made our stay in Ellaville a profitable stay---as well as a pleasant one. We thank you. We enjoyed a wonderful business while there, and it was always a pleasure to serve you. We shall never forget the kindness that you showed us. We did not leave Ellaville for the lack of business or support on your part, but we had planned to build a home and couldn't afford to build one without having owned a store or else a lease on a store for a long time. There fore we moved to Plains where we bought a store and also a lot where we will soon have a nice home to move into. It would gladden our hearts to have you drive over to Plains to visit us. We will have our opening at Plains Saturday, July 15. Yours very truly. M & M CASH STORE H.B.

Witness my hand and official signature. July 3, 1939. Troy G. Morrow, J.C.C.E. Acting Ordinary ALMOST EVERYONE SUPPORTING "HOMECOMING"--BUT WHEN? Many Express Interest But Do Not Name Suitable Dates Almost everybody wants a week set aside as "homecoming week: for all former Schley countians to return for several days and renew old acquaintances. But hardly any of the out-of-town persons who have expressed interest have indicated dates which would be most convenient for them. Several weeks ago, at the request of some former local people, this newspaper began a series of "feeler" articles to determine if there was sufficient interest in the idea to assure its success. Response was overwhelming, and many people living in distant points have written their relatives and the paper revealing their intention to come. This article is an appeal to any out of town people who desire some particular time during the next several weeks. If no decided trend is evident during the coming week, the newspaper--with assistance of a number of local persons who are known to be interested--will attempt to choose some period which apparently will suit the convenience of the greatest number! . The series of articles carried sometime ago mentioned the desire of a group of Ellaville men to hold a barbecue of basket dinner one day during the week. Acceptance or rejection of this proposal by the public is not the concern of the paper, its chief interest is seeing the realization of the hopes of a number of people just to see the boys again. end # 3
