DR. W. C. BRYANT
Founder of State’s First
Tuberculosis Resort.
I lis many friends and admirers
in this city and section, where he
formerly resided, will read with con
siderable interest the following com
plimentary mention of the great
work being accomplished by Dr.
W. C. Bryant in his figlit against
the great white plague, which is
taken from the Atlanta Constitution
of April 24, 1910:
With Tuberculosis Sunday ob
served today universally through
out Georgia, it is interesting to re
call a bit of recent history in the
fight against the plague in the State.
When the chronicler of this great
movement makes up his ultimate
records, he will find that the orig
inal open-air sanatorium for the
treatment of tuberculosis in Geor
gia was founded by Dr. W. C.
Bryant, at Turnerville, in that part
of Habersham county where the
Blue Ridge is most beautiful and
salubrious.
As illustrating the vast strides
made in wakening public interest,
it is significant that this pioneer
open-air resort for tuberculosis is
only three years old.
I)r. Bryant opened it in the win
ter of 1907 in Tunerville. At that
time the people of Georgia were in
differently roused to the gravity of
the situation, and the urgency of
prompt, radical and effectual ap
plication of natural principles.
But Dr. Bryant thrived gradu
ally, making head against difficul
ties, and surely building up a cli
entele and a healthy sentiment.
A year or so ago he moved his
sanatorium to Camp You ah, on the
very crest of one of the highest
mountains in the Georgia Blue
Ridge, and three miles from the
fret and complications of civiliza
tion .
Here he has established several
open-air cottages, with the latest
appliances, and a handsome home
and administration building.
Many physicians in Georgia in
sist that his efforts have been large
ly contributory to the galvanizing
of public sentiment to the conscien
tious attitude exemplified every
where in the State today.
HR. ALEX WILKERSON,
One of the Oldest and Best
Known Citizens of the
County, Passes Away.
After several weeks’ illness, which
began witli an attack of pneumonia,
Mr. Alex Wilkerson passed away
Thursday morning at 8 o’clock at the
home of his son-in-law. Mr. J. W.
Jones. No one in the county was
better known than Mr. Wilkerson.
He was born and reared in the
county, and flip greater part of his
life was spent here. He had reached
the age of eighty-four years, and
had led an active life, many years
being spent in public office.
He made his home with hi daugh
ter, Mrs. J. VV. Jones, and to her
goes out the sympathy of their large
circle of friends in her sad bereave
ment.
The funeral services were con
ducted t,his, Friday morning at the
residence, Rev. R. C. decider offici
ating. The interment was in the
City cemetery.

Interesting Services
The services lit the Methodist
church this week Imve been well at
tended, and the preaching, by Rev.
Mr. Kendall, has been listened to
with closest, attention. He is labor
ing earnestly for the salvation of th#
people. Mr. Gilreath, as leader of
the singing, has contributed greatly
to the interest of the meeting. He
is a fine leader.
JULIETTE.
A great many fish-fries are being
held on the Ocmulgee river here
these days. Mr. J. C. Hammonds
complimented a number of his
friends with one a few days ago,
and all had a fine time. .Several of
our prominent citizens enjoyed one
Saturday, and many more are
planned for the next several days.
Fish are unusually plentiful in the
river here now, and many fishing
excursions are made to this city by
people from many adjoining coun
ties.
What promises to be one of the
biggest events of a religious char
acter ever pulled off in Monroe
county will be an all-day Sunday
school reunion to be held at the
Maynards Missionary Baptist
church, near this city, on the fifth
Sunday in this month. There will
be preaching during the day by
noted ministers of the Baptist de
nomination, and many of the finest
singers of this section will be pres
ent. The occasion is being largely
advertised, and one of the biggest
crowds ever assembled in Monroe
county is expected to he present.
It is expected that at least 5,000
people will be in attendance, as
Maynards church is one of the most
popular churches in the county,
and is located at a point where it
would be convenient for people
from many surrounding counties to
attend the singing without going a
very great distance. The people
of that section are very hospitable,
and people like to attend events
that are pulled off in that commu
nity. Because of this reunion, the
all-day singing scheduled to take
place at the Holly Grove Mission
ary Baptist church, near this city,
on the fifth Sunday in this month,
has been postponed until the first
Sunday in June. P. R. W
