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.

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
