"Today in Fayetteville" January 13, 1905

Interesting happenings in early 1905                                         The Fayetteville News                                                  January 13, 1905                                                         Rigid Vaccination Ordered The appearance of smallpox in the Dasher district, Lowndes county, has made the Valdosta city officials take a determined stand to prevent the disease coming to the city. A strict quarantine has been established against the infected districts and rigid vaccination laws have been adopted. The names of all the infected houses in the Dasher district and parties from them will be arrested and sent to the pest house unless they are able to show a good health certificate.                                             Jack Bone Escapes the Noose Jack Bone, the floyd county murderer, sentenced to death for the murder of farmer Zach Hall, has been pronounced insane by a commission of physicians appointed by Governor Terrell, and instead of going to the gallows, he has been sent to the state sanitarium at Millegeville, there to remain until his sanity shall have been restored. Local News We regret to note that Sq. Ben Adams is very ill at this time. Misses Ola and Mary Lou Adams visited their grandfather, Mr. McElwaney, of near Hopewell, one night last week Miss Cora Thomas and Mr. Henry Norton both of this Community, were happily married Dec, 23, 1904. We extend to the happy couple best wishes. Paul Adams was hauling two sisters Sunday afternoon. Guess he thinks if he cant get one he will take the other. There is a certain man in our community who killed a hog last week, and after he hung it up, he went into the house to get a knife to cut it up, and when he came back the cats had the hog and were gone.......where,  he did not know. The many friends of Miss Vergie Chapman will be glad to know she is rapidly improving from her recent illness. To Observe Lee's Birthday State School Commissioner WB Merritt has prepared a very attractive pamphlet which he is now sending out to the different schools in the state to be used as a program for exercises which are to be held on the birthday of General Robert E Lee. The birthday of the great general comes on January 19th, and in every school in  Georgia there will no doubt be some observance made of the occasion. submitted by CB Glover

"Today in Fayetteville" September 15, 1891

---                                  THE FAYETTEVILLE NEWS                                            Sept. 15, 1991 Inman, Ga. The summer is gone, The soft, sweet tones of the "belle" are heard no more, if we are to judge from the forlorn expression of the faces of some of our boys. While attempting to kindle a fire in the furnace of his steam engine, the other day, Mr JB Hightower had his face badly burned. We are glad to say however, that he is improving rapidly now and we think he will soon be well again.  The lumber is on the grounds and the building in process of erection for the co-operative Alliance store at Inman. Rev CM Verdel preached a learned and impressive sermon at Liberty Sunday, Text: Looking diligently lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel  of meat sold his birthright, Hebrew X11, 16. Subject: The downfall of the wrong and triumph of the right. As usual, he handled his subject magnificently. Bring your cotton to Fayetteville Fine tobacco at Davis and Kerlin Fine dress goods, just opened, at ST and AO Blalock Our town will be crowded with people next week attending court.  The confederate veterans of the county meet today at the court house. It is the thought that the next term of our school will be the most prosperous one in  its history. There is no better place to send your children than to the Fayetteville High school. Dr JE Tucker has moved his office. He can be found in the little building between the jail  and JW Kitchens store in the day and at the Burks House at night.
