In Georgia during 1917 a county quarrel over tick eradication escalates as officials warn of renewed quarantine risk. A letter from State Veterinarian Peter Bahnsen pressures Lumpkin County to maintain cooperation and fund ongoing efforts to prevent reinfestation amid public concern over expenses and governance.
An April agreement with Dr. Seright set payment for chemicals and two workers per day if needed. After his Atlanta trip, a proposal to expand county funding emerged, but no new papers were signed since the prior understanding already limited to one worker if the work proved sufficient.
Judge Jones declares the April term adjourned for economy and to July 7 1917. The grand jury will attend for one day only. no other jury witnesses or parties are required.
Doors open at 7:00 PM and the Moving Pictures start promptly at 7:10 PM at Colepe Chapel. A bell will ring to notify patrons the doors are open. An interesting program will be furnished each evening. Everyone is invited.
