Twenty years ago in Dothan residents and visitors were noted in brief items. Ernest Walden suffered a badly mangled hand at a home on a pea hullot. Mrs. C. C. Bailey was visiting in Montgomery. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Beckham visited at Dublin, Georgia. A. Flowers and Albert Logue visited Greenville. The Jones family from Tampa visited West Main Street. Mrs. F. E. Passmore and Mrs. O. M. Hill planned a trip to Coffee Springs. Mrs. Henry Flowers returned to Jakin after visiting locals. J. W. Baughman and Oscar Clark visited Malone, Florida. Vester Lee narrowly escaped injury when his car hit a telephone pole on Taylor road. Mrs. J. L. Mivist returned home in Iron City after visiting E. N. Passmore, Mrs. J. M. Deese of Columbia, and Mrs. R. Smith of Florala, while W. L. Helms and family were visited. The article closes with a remark on neglected obligations of those entitled to relief.
In a relief tale of enterprise Mrs. Elizabeth Pohlmuller opens a dainties shop on the Fifties near East River apartments, serving tasty treats from a rear kitchen and front counter.

Albertina Rasch notes 90 percent of this year’s prize group dancers hail from away, listing birthplaces from Portland to Atlanta and beyond.
Herbert Plummer notes states speed ratification of the proposed amendment changing congressional and presidential terms. If 36 states ratify by Oct 15 1933, current Congress terms end Jan 3 1935 and new terms begin, creating a 60 day pay gap for outgoing legislators. A similar 42 day gap for the President raises a constitutional pay puzzle to be decided by courts.
