J. B. SMITH INJURED
BY BROKEN CABLE
HURT WHILE PULLING STUMPS
t 0N HIS FARM AT PLEASANT
■EY.
On Tuesday of last week while
I engaged in pulling stumps in' a field
near his home, Mr. J. B. Smith, a
prominent planter of the Pleasant
Valley community was seriously in-
ed. The breaking of a very heavy
ble that was doing duty on the ma
rine in removing the stumps was re
sensible for the accident. It
dd that Mr. Smith was thrown fif-
en feet in the air.when the tension
i relieved from the heavy taut ca
gfcle by the break. He waa picked up
beamed to the house and a phy
hn catted. At first it was though 1
at Mr. Smith had not received se
vero injury, but later a fracture of
tl e knee bone was discovered and
more recent developments indicate
internal injuries. A recent message
from his home states that his condi
tion remains unchanged, the nature
of the injuries he received internally
being such as to cause considerable
discomfort and pain.
Smith has a host of friends
oughout the community who re-
; the accident and wish tor him a
cdy recovery.
(From Sunday’s Cordele Dispatch.)
The death of Mrs, D. — Merideth

sioned deepest sorrow among numer
ous relatives and friends. Mrs. Clarke
was 27 years old, and was one of

only ten days ago, since which time
she was confined to her bed.

First Baptist church and also a mem

Milk samples brought to the car

be taken.in the following manner:
After milking the cow clean stir the
milk thoroughly and then immediate

Sunday marked the close of the
1916 calendar of Methodist activi
ties in the local church and accord
ingly a report of the work done the
past year was made at the regular
hour for services Sunday evening by
the pastor, Rev. W. L. Wright.
Mr. Wright expressed himself as
highly gratified with the progress of
the work during the past year which
is his first year of labor with the Vi
enna charge. The financial side of
the report shows that approximately
$4,000 has passed through the hands
of the. church during the year which
by comparison proves this to be one
of the most prosperous years from a
financial standpoint in the history of
the church. The results of Mr.
Wright’s year’s work in the matter
of finance do not however stand out
in equal prominence with the loving
Christian service that he has given
His has been a labor of love and his
sweet spirited influence has been felt
throughout the town.
It would be a departure from the
usual order for the conference
give Mr. Wright a new field for thb
approaching year, so it is quite prob
able that he will remain in charge of
the work here which will be highly
satisfactory to his members and
friends in the city.
Mrs. Clarke had a host of friends
and a number of relatives in this city
who deeply regret her sad death.

NEW PROHIBITION LAW
Atlanta, Ga., Nov.—The state of
Georgia’s defense of the constitu
tionality of the prohibition laws, in
the caso which shortly comes on for
a hearing before the state supreme
court, will be presented by Attorney-
General Clifford Walker atthe direc
tion of Governor Nat Harris.
The governor made possible the
enactment of the laws in 1915 by
calling the extra session of thelegia
1 ature during the fall of that year,
and is very anxious for the constitu
tionality of the laws to be upheld.
In a number of cases which have
come up from. Augusta, Savannah
end other places over the state, the
constitutionality of the laws is at
tacked In numerous particulars. It is
alleged among other thingi, that the
governor had no authority to include
prohibition in his call for the extra
session; that the extra session wa3
il'egal on account of the irregular
manner in which the regular session
adjourned in the summer of 1916 -
and that the limitation of the quanti
ty of intoxicants which an individual
can purchase within a specified period
is an invasion of the personal right
of a citizen.

KIMSEY BITTEN BY DOG
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
Orvis, the seven year old son of Dep

belonging to Mr. J. P. Powell before

dog inflicted two wounds, one over
the left eye and another on the left
arm, both being rather deep and ug

head of the animal was sent to the

We take pleasure in publishing the
letter from Supt. Greene and the list

Mr. Editor:
The schools of Dooly county have
opened with every promise of a good
year. A great deal of interest is be
ing manifested by the patrons and
pupils as well as the teachers. The
attendance is large, we are making
an effort to consolidate the schools
as much, as possible. No school with
one teacher can do as good work as
they can where the teacher has but
one or two grades.' We have only
few one-teacher schools in tho
county now. There are 20 white
schools in the county taught by 62
teachers.
Inclosed find n list of the schools
of the county with the toachera of
each. If you can publish this list you
will confer a great favor on many of, .
the citizens of the county. ?
