THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GA., AUGUST 21 ST., 1915-
RED BLUFF SCHOOL
On August 13th, the Red Bluff
school, which is eight miles south of
Pearson, over in Clinch, came to a
close with hundreds of people pres
ent. Miss Martha Everett was the
teacher, and so faithful and thorough
was her work that the patrons gave
her a fine picnic on the school grounds
to show their appreciation for same.
As Homerville is Miss Everett’s
home town, quite a number from
there were present, among whom
were Prof. Moss, principal of the high
school there, and Rev. Leggett, pastor
of the Methodist church, Hon. Lewis
Locklair, member of the board of ed
ucation, and Hon. Morris Cornelius,
Clinch county’s superintendent of
schools, who made a short talk, tell
ing the patrons and teachers how ap
preciated their co-operation during
the present term was, which has been
one of the most succesful ones ever
taught at Red Bluff. •
Prof. Moss and Rev. Leggett both
uade interesting speeches in behalf of
the school work in the county.
The band furnished some excellent
music, after which there were a num
ber of nice recitations by the pupils.
Everyone’s heart was thrilled by
the splendid music furnished by Mr.
Cary Lastinger and three sisters on
the violin, organ, guitar and harp.
At twelve o’clock one of the most
bountiful dinners was spread that we
ever saw, with plenty of lemonade
all day. After dinner, there were
more good music, many kind words
spoken to teachers and patrons, for
having given such a nice day to the
good citizens of Clinch and southern
Coffee.
