THE LAWYERS *
BANQUET I *
(By John J. Hunt.)
Wise people of the past as well
as present age inveigh against
imprudent eating and advanced
physicians chime in with the pro
saic statement that many people
“did their graces with their
teeth.”
Wherefore, it follows as a mat
ter of reason that all temptations
to overload the stomach are in
sidious invitations to death.
The banquet Friday night was
a success from a gastronomic
point of view, as might have been
expected from the reputation of
the Blue Goose restaurant, under
the management. of Mr. Bolton,
famed as a caterer.
But what was the powerful
magnet that drew those wise men
from their peaceful and happy
firesides ? Surely an appeal to
something higher than to the grat
ification of a voracious appetite.
Surely they all had plenty at
home this good Christmas season,
food, dainty and wholesome, pre
pared by loving hands.
Happily, at this banquet
lawyers, judges, county officers
soon to be inaugurated, and others
soon to retire, and this general
gathering was well designed for
it was non-exclusive, broad in its
scope, and based on an assump
tion that the attendants were all
hungry and entitled to a square
meal.
There was one fine man present
whom some predict will be our
congressman at an early date, who
surely did not travel 12 .miles at
night to get a square meal when
this narrator knows that people
con, spent Friday in Atlanta with
friends.
Mrs. G. G.. Greer, of Luella,
was shopping in Griffin Saturday.
Misses Bertha Hightower and
Lucy Bush, of Barnesville, were
visitors to Griffin Saturday,
Mrs. H. L. Brandenburg and
Miss Brandenburg, of Concord,
spent Saturday shopping in Grif

of his class have one such meal
at least on every day of the 365
in the year In the good county of
Pike.
What if it did seem a solemn
occasion? What if it was unb/j
for its dolefulness? Times have
changed and customs with them.
Some may sfty we are in the
midst of a Pharisaic era which de
bars anything that brings to mind
the drinking of a toast, although
the present day beverage is cold
water or Bryan’s grape juice. Any
way, the occasion was one of sol
emn silence which broke but once,
and that was at the outset when
grace was said.
At the end, by a tacit instinc
tive concert of action the guests
rose one by one and departed,
with expressions on their faces.
Dry grins and chagrins from those
who spent sleepless hours fram
ing speeches for the occasion.
Immediately thereafter the Blue
Goose dining roont whs indeed “a
banquet hall deserted, the gar
lands dead, the guests had fled,
and all but me departed,” and I
brought up the tail end of the
solemn procession.
