EGGHEAD’S EPICS M
■a* as
St§ L FAIR AND WARMER
SO THIS IS the week of the Griffin and Spalding County Fair, a week
when the population of the city and county can mix and mingle on the
midway, in the grandstand, exhibition rooms, on the whip, ferris wheel,
flying jenny and various and sundry other places of wholesome amusement.
THE SOUTHEASTERN fair dosed in Atlanta Saturday. The writer
went out to the races, etc., several afternoons. Once, while standing in
front of the grandstand, someone yelled, “Egghead." There is somebody
from home, w# meditated, and turning around saw Julian Gaissert and
Bruce Montgomery, president and secretary of the fair association. They
were up here getting horses for the Griffin races, and they got most all
Atlanta had, too.
SPEAKING OF THRILLING sports, that auto polo makes most any
kind of game in the world look mild. We are thinking of introducing the
game at Griffin. We have already challenged the champion team up here
to play one we are going to manage, consisting of Jbg Spivis, pilot, and
“Doc” Johnson, as the man who stands on the running board and mauls the
ball. Those birds turn each other over just for fun, but we contend that
our team would be fearless and unbeatable.
AT THE HORSE 8HOW one day last week, they were hurdling bar
riers on horseback like they do on fox hunts in the movies. One horse
forgot to jump, threw his rider and fell on top of him. The writer hap
pened to be standing within 20 feet of the spot, Everybody thought the
poor fellow was dead. Megaphones were thrown in the stands for a doctor,
and who should respond but our old friend, “Doc" Linwood Gable. The old
was on the
HOME COMING
AN ^ATTRACTIVE card from Bill
Wells, in behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce, states that Thursday will
be “Home-coming day’^at the Griffin
fair, including an appropriate per
sonal touch by saying, “All the folks
will be looking for you,” which makes
it seem like a personal invitation.
Egghead is very anxious to spend at
least one day jn Griffin this week,
but Wednesday is the day of the
g a u„ort-Guttti.eU* wedding, which we
can ill afford to miss; Thursday is
home-coming day, and one Friday
G. H. S. plays Commercial Hi there.
THAT MAKES too many things in
one week and it will W a tough job
to decide which'day to come, if at nJl.

SPEAKING OF the Commercial
gome, the Atlanta preps were de
feated last Friday by Decatur, 14 to

very good team this year, and the
G. H. S. boys must not get over
confident in view of this fact. Frank
ly speaking, however, we have a
mighty good hunch that Coach Talia
ferro's boys will lick Commercial, but
they will have to fight like the mis
chief to do It.
BUT FIGHTING spirit is one
quality for which G. H. S. teams
have been noted for years, and there
are some mighty good players still
left in Griffin, That has already
been proved.
GRANT PARK
A MERRY little flriffin party , < on
sisting of John Hall Murray, John
