Georgetown Gossip Sparks and Sorrows of March 81
A Georgia town column notes the death of Mr Fe Fye near town, visits by L P Arthur and bride, Mrs Christan's death, and a feverish Little John. It cites school at the academy with 35 pupils, editorials favoring Tete Smith for governor, travel returns of Miss Bettie Bledsor, and farm worries with a shift to intensive methods. A failed military company effort and a Kansas man moving to a poor Florida land are described, ending with local predictions of success or bust for the new settler.
