SUNDAY BLAZE*
AROUSES MCDONOUGH.
Servant House In Judge Harris's
Yard is Destroyed. Fire Com
pany Did Well.
The Sunday Schools in Mc-
Donough Sunday morning were
interrupted by the alarm of fire.
It was found that a servant
house in the rear of Judge A. G.
Harris’s residence was ablaze.
The fire orginated on the inside
of the house, and was pouring
through the roof when the alarm
was given.
Our volunteer fire department
made a quick run and with the
hose and a good pressure soon
extinguished the flames. Only the
hull of the house was left stand
ing, the contents of the house
being entirely destroyed.
DR. NOLAN S FATHER
WILL INVESTIGATE DEATH,
i. Q. Nolan Will Go To Mexico
To Solve Mystery Of Son's
Sudden Death There.
We copy the articile below from
the Macon Telegraph. It throws a
little more light upon the death of
an old McDonough boy:
EATONTON, March 21.—Not
entirely satisfied with the meager
information contained in the letter
announcing the death of Dr.
Frank Nolan, on March 6th at
Tampico, Col. J. Q. Nolan, the
young man’s father is seeking to
arrange for an immediate trip to
Tampico for a further investiga
tion.
The seal on the letter, the word
ing and other facts taken into con
sideration, and the fact that the
letter was mailed under difficulties,
being sent out on an oil boat sail
ing from Tampico, gives ground
for suspicion that full facts were
suppressed. Dr. Nolan was a
splendid specimen of young man
hood and has all his life been of an
unusually strong and robust con
stitution. That he would have
stayed in a hospital several weeks,
and later returned to the hacienda
where he has lived for several
years past, and again returned to
Tampico critically ill without ever
notifying his father, whose only
son he was, is difficult to believe
Col. J. Q. Nolan, is of the opinion
that his son was probaly wounded
and later died from the effects of
the wound.
The letter from Dr. Pressley,
the Presbyterian minister, stated
that he was rushed into a fast mo
tor boat to Tampico from his ha
cienda, and peacefully passed
away in route. An effort will also
be made to secure Dr. Nolan’s
body for burial in the state, al
though there are international
complications that may prevent
this bieng done.
Mrs. A. C. Sowell has been
spending sometime'with her sis
ter, Mrs. Price, who lives near
town and is seriously ill. Mrs. Sow
ell has brought Mrs. Price’s little
infant to her home and is caring
for the little one during its moth
ers illness.

HON. WALTER WISE
STARTS BALL ROLLING.
Former Solicitor General And
Excellent Gentleman Announces
For Congress in this Issue.
The Hon. J. W. Wise makes his
announcement for Congress in this
issue of The Weekly.
We do not have to tell anything
about Mr. Wise in Henry County,
or, for that matter, even in the
Sixth district, and his public ser
vice and its benefit to the people
have extended farther than that,
for the whole State has been the
beneficiary of his statesmanship.
He was born and reared in Henry
county and our county is truly
proud of him and his achievement.
Two years ago he had cast fbr
him enough votes to send him
to Congress but enough votes
were lost in the count or consoli
dation or in some way to deprive
him of his well and honestly earn
ed victory.
Mr. Wise is not asking support
because of this injustice, for we
have not heard of his having re
ferred to it at all. But his merit
is such that it make its own ap
peal.
He is honest to the core and any
interests can be intrusted to his
care by one who would sleep un
disturbed by fear for their safety.
He is one of the State’s ablest
men and has already impressed
his legal skill on the statute books
of Georgia.
In the office of Solicitor General
of the Flint Circuit he cared well
but fairly for the interests of the
State in all matters and showed
himself to be a lawyer of the high
est rank.
The people know him and re
member his superior fitness and
will surely give him a splendid
vote this time.
