F THE TIMES-JOURN M.
Eastman Times Established 1S72 ^

1)B. TEASLEY Alt REST FI).
Carried Back to Florida Upon the
Charge of Practicing Medicine
Without License.
Dr. J. H. Teasloy who moved to
our town a few weeks ago from
A’aldosta, Ga., was arrested at
this place Tuesday morning by
■ Sheriff J. C. Rogers at the request
of Sheriff Purvatt, of Osceola
county, Fla., who arrived Monday
night with the necessary requisi¬
tion papers for the purpose of car¬
rying the doctor back to Florida
where he had resided before mov¬
ing to Valdosta.
The charge against Dr. Teasley
is practicing medicine without li¬
cense, the grand jury of Osceola
county having two and a half
years ago returned a true bill
against him upon this charge.
I)r. Teasley was placed under a
$100 bond, and when the case was
called for trial it was continued
The doctor said he thought this
action of the court relieved his
bondsmen and that the bond be¬
came null and void. Buthn ibis
; he was mistaken. Since that
time the doctor had moved away
ifnd when the case was again cali
ed for trial, his non-appearance
caused the forfeiture of the bond
in open court, and his bondsmen
instituted the proceedings to have
him carried back for trial. Dr.
Teasley has a certificate in his
posession from the Board of Alodi
cal Examiners of Florida giving
him the right to practice medi¬
cine in that state, and says tin*
action brought against him was
solely through the persecution of
enemies. He also has the certifi¬
cate of the clerk of the court of
Osceola county, that he had regis¬
tered according to law. The doc¬
tor says he is a graduate of the
Medical college of Louisville, Ky.,
| and that he has a diploma from
that institution. He expressed no
fears whatever as to the outcome
of Ins case and said he would be
oack to Eastman m a few days.
He accompanied the sheriff back
to Florida Tuesday morning, leav¬
ing here on the south bound train.
Dr. Teasley and his brother
moved to Eastman about 4 weeks
ago, and have opened up a drug
store on the corner formerly occu¬
pied by Mr, S. T. Rogers. They
were raised in Elbert county, Ga.,
and have conducted themselves in
a most, exemplary manner since
coming among our people,
have made a number of friends
who very much regret the embar
assing situation in which the doc¬
tor has been placed.
Air. Ed Bacon has about recov¬
ered from a severe attack of ma¬
larial fever, from which he has
been suffreing for sometime. He
was out m town Tuesday for the
first time since his sickness.
Airs. B. L. Harrell returned Sat¬
urday from an extended visit t<
relatives at Greensboro. We are
glad to learn that her nephew* ai
that place has about recovered
from his recent severe illness.
Air. and Airs. J. B. Cameron
and little daughter, Birdie, left
