Scout Shelter
Be Dedicated
On Feb. 4th
Pine Valley Girl Scout
Council is dedicating the new
activity shelter at Camp Cecil
Jackson, Griffin, Sunday,
February 4, at 3 p.m. This
building was built with profits
from Girl Scout Cookie Sales. It
is the first step in a program to
erect needed buildings at the
various sites operated by the
Council. The profits of the 1973
Cookie Sale February 9-24 will
be utilized to further this goal.
Troop No. 8, under the
leadership of Mrs. Annette
Nash and Mrs. Margaret Tant
of Fayetteville, will conduct
the dedication ceremony
“Blessing the House.” All Girl
Scouts, their families and the
general public is invited to
attend the beautiful ceremony.
This beautiful large shelter
will provide increased camp
ing and activity facilities for all
Girl Scouts in our council area.
This includes the 75 girls in the
Jackson area.
The shelter has a covered
concrete area of 30 x 60 feet. At
one end is a fireplace with a
built in grill for meal
preparation on each side.
Troops will find this a
delightful place for out-door
cooking and sleeping, as well
as folk dancing, games, crafts
and singing.
This shelter will allow two
troops to use Camp Cecil
Jackson at the same time, thus
doubling its capacity.
Senior Troop No. 102 in
Griffin, led by Mrs. Sara
Frances Williams and Mrs.
Anne Howard has planted
ground cover on the surround
ing banks to both beautify the
area as well as to prevent
erosion.

Reports
There is no need whatsoever
to enact legislation for the sole
purpose of obtaining another
deputy sheriff. County police
can be employed and the
Sheriff can deputize as many ol
them as desired to help serve
official papers.
To enact a law simply to
increase a deputy sheriff is
nothing more than another
“tax-increase” legislation. Our
taxweary taxpayers simply
cannot pay much more of this
“tax-increase” legislation.
It is now time for some
loyalty to the people.

Mrs. Smith
Buried
In Jackson
(Editor’s Note: This moving
obituary on her mother was
written by Mrs. W. B. Freeman
of Blount. Because of its
unusual nature we are printing
it as written.)
On Sunday, January 21st,
Monroe County lost one of her
oldest and most venerable
citizens in the death of Mrs.
Hattie O’Rear Smith. She was
born in Whitesburg, Carroll
County, Georgia, on August 5,
1878 to Mary Susan Moore and
John O’Rear. When but a small
girl she moved with her
parents, three brothers and six
sisters (all of whom were older
than she) to Butts County. She
survived them all.
She grew up about a mile
west of Jackson and was
educated in the public schools
of Butts County. When she was
a young lady her father was
elected Clerk of the Superior
Court of Butts County and she
served as his scrivener. Her
beautiful handwriting is a
memorial to her in the public
and permanent records in the
Clerk’s office.
Soon after his graduation
from the Georgia College of
Eclectic Medicine and Surgery
in June, 1900, a young doctor,
Wilson Jackson Smith, who
was born and reared in
Flovilla, opened his office in
Jackson. He and Hattie O’Rear
were married January 23, 1903
and in 1906 they moved to
Juliette where they lived and
moved and had their being
until August, 1945 when they
moved to Forsyth. Dr. Smith
died January 3, 1949.
To this union was born two
boys, Frederick O’Rear and
James who died at the ages of
five years and five months
respectively and within five
months of each other. Follow
ing their deaths two other
children were born, Edna
Merle, the widow of William B.
Freeman, Sr. and Lewis Glenn
who is married to the former
Miss Lula May Tyson.
From the very beginning of
Mrs. Smith’s residency at
Juliette she found her place
there among the people and put
down deep roots. Very soon she
saw a need for a Baptist
Church and she and a group of
friends were instrumental in
founding the Juliette Baptist
Church in the early 1900’s and
this same group were success
ful in their efforts to erect a
building for the church. Mrs.
Smith served her church as
organist (later pianist, after
acquisition of a piano), Sunday
School teacher and superinten
dent, “preacher” (if at the last
minute the minister were
unable to be there), yes, even
janitor ~ nothing was too
menial if she saw her services
were needed.
Always she was interested in
the welfare of the community,
its citizens, its churches, its
school. Many times she would
open her doors to make a home

LITTLE LEAGUE
SCHEDULES MEETING
At seven o’clock at the C&S
Community Room of the C&S
Bank on February sth a
meeting will be held by the Van

cording to Stanley Maddox,
Little League president.
for a school teacher who had no
other place to live while
teaching in the village. She
made them one of her family.
Her friends affectionately
called her “Hat” and many of
her husband’s patients called
her “Mrs. Dr. Hattie,” and
upon occasions when they
would go for the doctor and find
him out on a call, she would
“prescribe” for them r.s to
what they should do until the
doctor could get there. They
would leave the door with a
certain sense of reassurance.
There were times when she
would assist her husband in
delivering a baby, perform an
operation, or bind up the
wounded who might go to her
home in pain and find the
doctor out. She would sit with
the sick, cook meals for
families where there was
sickness -- she wept with and
comforted those in whose
homes death was a visitor.
Hers was a life of service --
whatever she found to do, she
did - always putting the needs
of her family and her friends
before her own. Her friends
were everybody - rich, poor,
young, old, black, white.
Mrs. Smith was a “Real
Daughter” member of the
Cabaniss Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy
and a member of the First
Baptist Church of Forsyth
where her funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at
2 o’clock, p.m. The beautiful
and fitting service was led by
the Rev. Dan Shaddock, pastor
of the church. Interment was in
her family plot in Jackson.
She is survived by her two
children, four grandchildren,
four great-grandchildren and a
number of nieces and nephews.
In the words of a great
grandson, aged 8, “I’m sad
because grandmother died but
I’m glad she died on God’s
day.” No better day could her
Maker have chosen on which to
write “Finis” to her beautiful,
long, full and useful life than on
“His day.”
