PEARSON TRIBUNE, SEPTEMBER 14,1917
Mr. J. B. Stewart, of Hilliard,
Fla,, has been a guest this week
at the home of his brother, Mr.
W. W. Stewart. He is a recent
graduate of the Florida University
law school, and assisted in the de
fense of Mr. J. S. Burns in Coffee
superior court, charged with mur
der.
Last Saturday was the time for
regular September monthly term
of the Justice Court for the 1.130 th
(Pearson) Militia District, There
was no business I ransactcd owing
to the absence of parties and w it
nesses at a special term of Ordi
nary’s Court at Douglas. Judge
Levi O'Steen was present from
1 )ouglas.
Sheriff Perry Leo. of Clinch
county, came to Pearson last Sat
urday night in search of a man and
woman who were wanted for a
misdemeanor. The man could not
be found but the woman was in
the employ of the Hotel Malone as
a cook. In his search for the pat
ties wanted the Sheriff got into a
room where two lads were sleeping
and threw his flashlight into their
faces. It, of course, aroused them
and. it is said, they proceeded to
“cuss him out.” Even officers of
the law get themselves out of place
sometimes. The woman was ar
rested and carried back to lloincr
villc.
Messrs. William C. Patterson’s
and Isaac S. Owen’s claims for cx
emption from ’military duty have
been denied by the District Board
at Savannah. The Tribune regrets
that these young men will have to
leave us for a season; young men
of the highest character, both mar
ried, and the latter’s wife has no
relatives and is absolutely depen
dent upon him for a support. The
owner is the trusted and efficient
cashier of Pearson Banking Com
pany and to whose business sagaci
ty the Bank is indebted for the
high standing which it has attain
ed among the banking institutions
of Coffee < 'ounty. Their claims for
exemption are the only ones from
the Pearson district that were de
nied. The Tribune would have
been pleased if both had been ex
cused.
No. 666
This is r prescription prepared especially
for MALARIA or CHILLS 4 FEVER.
Five or si* doses will break any case, and
if taken then ns a tonic the Fever will not
return. It acts on the liver better than
Calomel and does not gripe or sicken. 25c
Cues for Atkinson County.
The new County of Atkinson is
going to be a novel one among the
subdivisions of the State. For
five years after the people vote in
the constitutional amendment
creating (he county, it will have
no court house or jail. Represen
tative C. E. Stewart, now of Coffee
County, but who will be from At
kinson, is here today, and his ex
planation is this: “We expect to
make a mark on the map of Geor
gia. For the first five years the
new county is going to devote
itself to building good roads, and
after that we will lake up the mat
ter of a court house and jail. Not
only is that because of the fact
that we really don't expect to have
much need for them but the Pear
son authorities have donated to
the county the use of the high
school building for five years as a
courthouse. We are not going to
build a jail, but will use (ho jail
either at Way-cross or Douglas,
botli of which are near by.—Macon
Telegraph.
xxx x x
The cheapest and best plan that
Atkinson county can follow is to
vote a bond issue for roads and pub
lic buildings at the earliest possi
ble moment. Otherwise they will
have neither for a long time. Bond
money is cheaper than borrowed
money. It looks as though Coffee
County would investigate this
question.—Coffee County Progress.
XXX X X
These are among Hie earliest
recommendations for the officials
of the new county to act upon.
Just what policy will be adopted
the Tribune cannot predict at this
early date, but it is sure a policy
will be adopted that will be safe
and sane. They should try to
profit by the mistakes made in
other new counties.
