About Pearson tribune. (Pearson, Ga.) 191?-1955 | View Entire Issue (March 12, 1920)
City rntii County Miss Estelle Parker spent Thurs day with relatives and friends at Tiftou. Hon. Jeff Kirkland and son, Broughton, motored over to Adel on Wednesday of last week, to visit his son, Mr. Lloyd Kirkland, and family. Miss Lois May arrived from Adel Friday afternoon for a visit to relatives. She is a guest of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. David Kirkland. A number of relatives of the de ceased. living in Pearson and vi cinity, .attended the funeral and interment of Dr. T. J. Kirkland at Douglas Sunday afternoon. The Tribune learns of the death of Miss Jessie Arnold, of Axson, from pneumonia growing out of Intluenza, and sympathizes with her parents in their sorrow. Owing to the illness of the pas tor. Elder X. ({.Christopher, there was no preaching at the Baptist church last Sunday. It was quite a disappointment to his congre gation. The Tribune is informed that a program for tin' commencement exercises at Pearson High School is being arranged. It is under stood there will be four graduates this year —two young ladies and two young gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Davis and sort, George, came in Saturday afternoon to spend the week end with her pari •try, Hon. and Mrs. Jeff Kirkland. Sunday morning, accompanied by Elder John F. Smith, the two families attended preaching at Mt. Zion Baptist church. The Tribune chronicles the death of Mrs. Charlie Harrell last Tues day leaving her husband and six children to mourn her departure, and they deserve the sympathy and help of all. Mr. Harrell is a son of Elder Needham Harrell and lives four or five milles north of the fity. A number of Pearson people at tended Coffee superior court this week, interested as attorneys, litigants and witnesses. The vol ume of attendants were not as great as formerly, before the crea tion of the new county of Atkin son, and no doubt will continue to grow smaller. The freeze which swept over South Georgia, beginning Friday, found man) Pearson people with out fuel to keep them comfortable. II was a study to hear them im plore their country friends to bring them a load of wood, light wood knots, anything was better than what they had on hand. “Love thy neighbors as thyself.” The second quarterly conference of the Willacoochee charge of the Valdosta District will be held at Glory on April 2nd. Presiding Elder ,1. (X G. Brooks, gives it out that the ministerial assessment for the District has been increased $7,121 over last year, and all minis ters with families are to receive salaries of SI,OOO and upward a year. The promoters of the Roberts court house site held a poll in the < (rdinary's office last Saturday and about a hundred people expressed a preference for that site. Al though there were several votes cast for tin* Corbitt site, its promo ters looked upon it as no submis sion at all and had nothing to do with it. It might have been dif ferent had the two sites been sub mitted to the people of Atkinson county. Hon. Jesse M- Pafford has re ported the result of his stumping activities of the past fall and win ter. He says he has his entire farm, excepting twenty acres clear of stumps. He can now use farm machinery, labor-saving imple ments, in the cultivation of his farm. This is what the farmers of Atkinson county must do; farm labor is scarce and getting scarcer, and yet the farms must be culti vated and the people fed. The Site Selected. Last Monday the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues for Atkin son county came together in extra ordinary session to transact sever al items of business pertaining to the welfare of the county. Among these items were the selection of a site for the court house and jail and the letting the contract for the building. The two sites which have been under consideration for some t ime were Block No. 2, original survey of Pearson, known as the Roberts site or the Holtzendorff home place; the other was Block No. 13, original survey of Pearson, known as the Corbitt site or the place set tied by Judge Warren P. Ward while a teacher of the Pearson public school and about the time he was married. The contention of the promoters of these two sites had reached a somewhat acrimonious situation, and really threats against the com missioners that were unkind, un due, unwise and should not have been indulged in for a moment. It has made the task of the Gommis sioners in selecting a site a burden rather than a pleasure. But in the performance of their duty they have selected a site; you may call it a compromise or anything you like, but to the Tri bune’s mind they have selected as good a site as could have been pro cured in the city. It ig, Block No. 19, original survey of Pearson, be ing the place settled by Judge B. Kirkland, Jr., when he was first married. It is located in the cen- tral portion of the city, two blocks south of the railroad. It is bound ed north by Roberts street, east by Main street, south by Smith street and west by King street, and contains one acre. Out of town people, citizens of Atkinson county, who have viewed the sites say emphatically that it isa hupp) selection; it will cost, the county not a penny. Now, fellow citizens, the time has arrived for us all to lay aside our preferences, our bickerings, our criticisms, our unkindness, and be come absolutely loyal citizens of Atkinson county, friends of the County Commissioners and help them in the discharge of their sworn duties. They need our sympathy rather than our abuse. In this connection the Tribune carries the news to its readers t hat a contract has been entered into for the erection of the court house and jail, that work will be com menced about the 15th of April and it will be completed on or be fore the 31st of December, and it is expected that the January Term, 1921, of Atkinson superior court will be held in Atkinson county’s own Temple of Justice. The building is to be erected by the Holley Brothers, of Augusta, under the supervision of .1. J. Baldwin, Architect. Andcson. S. <'. The Liberty Belles. The above caption means a trio of young lady entertainers, who filled an engagement here Monday evening under the auspices of the Alkahest Lyceum Association. The young ladies we e Misses Krake, Bemont and Hardy, the latter being a young lady reared in Way cross and whose parents live there now. This w.-.s the second number of the course subscribed for by the Pearson people, and the program was an exceedingly pleasing one. Some of the songs and readings carried the older girls and boy s of the audience back to their child hood days when these same songs and readings were fresh and popu lar. Thehistrionieism was delight ful and above criticism. The young ladies are actors of superior merit and would captivate any audience. There were many citizens who did not attend, yet there was a large audience who enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish. Everybody took a good, whole some, laugh. The people of Pearson are more than pleased with the numbers the Alkahest Association has sent them, and they will have these entertainments’again next year. People need diversions and these are the best obtainable. PE ARSON TU I BONE PEARSON, GEORGI A, MARCH 12, 1920 The Leliaton School. The public school at Leliaton, conducted by Miss Charlotte Rieketson, closed last Friday. Both her system of instruction and firmness of discipline, have given such complete satisfaction, that the patrons and people of Leliaton have employed her to con tinue for another month, as a pri vate school. C. E. Griffis Sick. The Spanish influenza epidemic has struck the eastern part of At kinson county good and strong. Every family almost in the Ax son district has one or more mem bers sick with this terrible disease, some of them the entire member ship are sick and unable the one to wait on the others. Such is the situation at the homes of Mr. C. E. Griffis, Mr. 1). S. Wall and others. The Tribune sympathizes with them in their distress. Notice to Car Owners. I have on hand plenty of Auto Tax Tag applications, and 1 have positive instructions to arrest and make eases against every car own er who fail to provide himself with a tag by April Ist. Better provide yourself with a tag by April Ist or put your car under shelter and let it stay there until you eau comply with the law. Be sure to remem ber this or it may cause you trou ble and expense. I give you this timely warning. E. I>. Leggett. Sheriff, A. ( He ppy Birthday and Dinner. The at tendance of relatives and friends at the birthday dinner, in honor of Hon. Simon P. White’s, birthday, was large and all were in a spirit of making the honor guest feel that he was held in high regard. Mr. White looked upon the oc casion as a green, refreshing, oasis in llie barren and humdrum path way of life. He and all who parti cipatcd in it, in the slightest, agree that it was a happy birthday and a most enjoyable dinner. Sheriff Leggett on His Job. The Tribune reported the burg lary of Passon’s Department Store one night recently. Sheriff Leg gett immediately put his wits to work and has already captured three parties who seem to know something about the crime—two white boys named Davis and Wil son and a negro man. Within an other week he will be able to lay I he crime and its perpetrators bare to (lie public. lb* is to be congratulated upon his accuracy of trail and prompt ness to run down evil doers. Out of the Race. The following gentlemen, for reasons best khown to themselves, have withdrawn from the primary elect ion: ('. O. Taft, for County School Superintendent. .1. B. Mills, for County Commis sioner from the Willacoochee dis l riot. Geo. F. MeCranie, Sr., who announced for Commissioner from the Willacoochee district, purpose ly decided not to qualify.

HANDS, ARMS, LIMBS ASLEEP And Was Run-Down, Weak and Nervous, Says Florida Lady. Five Bottles of Cardui Made Her Well. Kathleen, Fla. —Mrs. Dallas Prlna, of this place, says: “After the birth of my last child...! got very much run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. I was so awfully nervous that 1 could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time... I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I coulil hardly Jive. My husband asked I)r. about my taking Cardui. lie said, 'lt’s a good medicine, and good for that trouble’, so he got me 5 bot tles... After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disap peared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot tles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children be sides."
