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.

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. Commencement Exercises On Friday morning of next week will be the Commencement exercised at the Auditorium.

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.
