Local Happenings - Thursday, January 30, 1908 Wayne County Journal

Circuit court will convene Monday.

J. F. Ward of Hiram was in Greenville Monday.

Geo. N. Whitt visited in East Prairie the first of the week.

W. B. Evans of Lodi was in town Tuesday and did not fail to renew for the
Journal while here.

The post office building has been undergoing some improvements, interior
and exterior this week.

Mrs. Jennie White is in a very low condition this week, and the chances of
her ultimate recovery are doubtful.

Born, Sunday, to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hughes, a boy. Mother and son getting
along nicely, Ben's condition not reported.

The railroad has rendered an appreciated service to the public by the
building tof a sidewalk, from the Club House walk to the depot.

John G. Settle was out of town the first of the week, Sam Malugen acting as
cashier of the Citizen's Bank during Mr. Settle's absence.

H. M. Duncan of the Piedmont route was a very welcome visitor to the
Journal office Tuesday. He orders his subscription set ahead a couple of
notches and also the subscription of Z. T. Green of Hoquiam, Wash.

Mrs. Clarence Craig and infant son, James Oliver, left Thursday for a
month's visit with Mrs. Craig's parents in Chillicothe, Mo. Mr. Craig
accompanied them to St. Louis, returning to Greenville Friday.

Frightened by circulating rumors concerning him, Bill Edwards, left for
unknown parts Sunday morning. It is said that Bill has been dispensing
"Wet Goods" of late and the authorities were preparing to take him in
charge, hence his departure.

The County court met Monday to pass on the sanity of Tony Hood. In the
court's opinion the case was found to be a bona fied case of insanity,
unalloyed with "Dementia Americana" exaggerated ego or any other new
fangled phase of insanity, and the boy was ordered to the Farmington
asylum, Sheriff Barrow accompanying him to that place Tuesday morning.
