The Pike County Journal.
Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, August 23, 1895

There was a wreck of a freight train above Zetella last Friday which
caused a delay of one day of the arrival of the passenger train. Mr.
Arthur Marshall and the writer came down from Atlanta on the passenger
train Friday and spent the night on the car at Woolsey. The mosquitos
were on dress parade and contributed to the interest but not to the
pleasure of the camp. After several fruitless attempts to get supper the
blacksmith, Mr. Jones, came to our rescue and furnished us with a supper
fit for a prince. Mrs. Jones we apprehend is not one of the "new women"
we read of, but she is an artist in her line and ought to be allowed to
vote if she wants to.
