HAMILTON, HARRIS COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1919
Paper in Every Home in Harris County where a Poll Tax Is Paid
SIDE LIGHTS AT
PRESS MEETIR6
AT MONROE.
By Miss Lavra Goodman, Local
Lditress Cbiplcy News.
It was again our good fortune to
have enjoyed a week ot uninterrupted
pleasure with the members of the
Georgia Press Association—and that
at the hospitable city ol Monroe. We
had received the cordial invitation ol
the committee and were eagerly
awaiting for the auspicious day. July-
14, to roll around.
Alter seme waiting, the tone ap¬
pointed tame and we three—Messrs.
C. H. Gock and C. K. Stout, repre
sentiDg The Journal, and myself, The
News, set out for the Mecca of our
dreams. At three o’clock the signal
was given at the Union depot and
the line of editors filed out to a train
on the Georg’P read, leaving Atlanta
for Monroe Messrs. Mobley, of the
chamber of commerce, and Ernrst
Camp, of the Walton Tribuue, gave
us a most hearty welcome and by
the time the train bad reached the
bad • |
lovely city of Monroe everybody
exchanged greetings and were in
trim for the meeting.
New loitune has always favored ye
local editress in assignments, and on
this occasion she was doubly kind—
in fact we could not have been better
placed. Our charming hostess, Mrs.
IVt. L. Bowen, and her delightful fam¬
ily made each minute of our stay one
of pleasure; she w as an ideal hostess
and nothing was left undone which
w ould in the least contribute to the
guests’ comfort.
We were met at the station by a
delegation of representative citizens
who whirled us away in autos to our
respective hemes. That evening an
informal reception was tendered the
editors on the courthouse
lawn. The decorations of crimson
and white hunting, flags, etc., bespoke
cordial welerme IT cm the enterprising
citizens ot Walton county. We could
not do justice in a limited space to
this feature of the meeting.
The association was called to order
by Pres. Paul Harber. of the Com¬
merce Observer, and an interesting
program was given, the chief features
of which were the welcome addresses.
The keys of the city were turned over
to the visitors and all went merry as
a marriage bell.
Tuesday- morning the session met
and the busini ss routine dispatched.
Interesting talks were made and pa¬
pers read. At noon a delicious bar¬
becue was served, and wo saw a per¬
fect “cue.” The meals were done to
a turn, and this with the toothsome
cakes, pic kles, salads, made the hun¬
gry editors forget the blackberry pie
of other days, saying nothing of
sweetening long drawn out.
Just before the dinner was served a
camera was turned on the waiting
body, and behold the result—-a long
line of breakfast food smiles! After
ample justice bad been done a bount¬
iful supply yet remained on the table.
Mr. Hoover would have opened bis
eyes at the quantity of food stuffs
raised right there in Walton county, j
We make our best bow to the bust
line host and liobtess of Monroe.
The afternoon session was devoted
to print-shop talk, at the conclusion
of which an auto ride was tendered
the guehts. A short stop was made
at the faim of Mr. Robt. Johnson,
clone by being a load of luscious
Georgia watermelons, the sight
which made the mouth water. 1 bo
editors were not kept in suspense loDg
for in a few moments slices of pink
tinted sweets were passed up and down
the line.
That afternoon the Harris press
party were delightfully eDtertaiDed
at the hospitable home of Mr. and
Mrs. Belah H. Jenkins. Our genial
1 friend, Belah, is old Harris coun
an
tian and he and his estimable wife,
together with their children, made
feel comfortable in their lovely heme.
Their fairn is about two miles north
of town and is stiicily up to date in
every respect. About lour years ago
he built a beautiful nine room resi¬
dence, fitting it up with all the mod¬
em conveniences—lights, water, etc.
He had recently been offered a fancy’
price — $410.CO per acre — for 40
ac res ol the place, including the res.
idenee and surrounding improvements
But was holding lor still higher fig
uup uris. - Bos-elcs his farming interests
Mr. Jenkins is president of a local
insurance company, having an office
in Monroe.
Mr. M iley Wisdom, a former resi¬
dent of Cbiplcy, has a nice mercan¬
tile business, the popular “Cash Store’
on Broad street, and is enjoying quite
a fine run of patronage. He, with his
excellent wife, extended us courtesies.
On Wednesday we were entertained
at ihe District Agricultural C ollege
at another genuine Georgia ’one, with
t ake', pie. crcrrn, etc. This was a du¬
plicate ol the feast of tire proceeding
day and we felt that the average edi¬
tor was in imminent peril of acute in¬
digestion, ficnr tco much of toothsome
edibles at one time. Our best bow
^ ^ (tB mUu „ in (Ilalge 0 f these
On Wednesday afternoon at four
o’clock a party of autos stood in wait
ingattlie courthouse entrance and
the press party was driven over the
gccd reads of Wallen to Athens
where they were gutsts for the even¬
ing. A rain came up and changed
the plans, so an inlotmal reception
was to de-Teel on the campus. Here
weird the pleasure of seeing the
Tunis county teachers. Mr. and
M is 1 e m W belt m aie chaperones
the bunch, and this means that they
are in gccd hands. We heard some
nice- things said alcut cur tetubers,
for which wo are justly proud. We
never appreciate our teachers as
should; in fact, we take tco much for
granted and fail to get in direct touch
with them. Here’s hoping they will
ccme l ee k renewed in mind and body
Let’s join hinds with these labours
and make a strong pull for Letter I
schools.
The early hours of the following
morning found us biking to the sta¬
tion to entrain for the closing lap of
o ur itinerary. Now, to the res ident
of Middle and South Georgia the
m ountains are ever new, their beauty
is unchanging. Frem Cornelia to
CJay ton towers one of unbroken beau¬
ty. I lifted up my eyes and beheld
the bills and Item them drew new in¬
spiration. No one can look upon
their heights and not feel an innate
longing for the things that perish not.
Mcunfaineeis aie always freemen,
the very air itself breathes of things
sublime. Now fancy this: ye local
editress was speechless for (lie time
being silenc e el by the grandeur ot
towering peaks. At noon a stop was
made at Cornelia and we bad the
pleasure of tasting the rosy-cheeked
peaches of North Georgia. Mr. New¬
ell, of the Tallulah Fails Railway,
was introduced and bade us welcome
to the bill country.
The apple orchards bad suffered
from late cold spells and the crop will
not be anything like a full one. This
industry is a coming one for that sec¬
tion. The displays at fairs is always
creditable and Georgia compares fav¬
orably with other apple sections. The
corn crop was fairly good. Heavy
rains bad fallen and the peach bands
were busy packing the wasting fruit.
The scenery around Clayton ap
pealed to those of us from Middle and
South Georgia, the place being shel¬
tered by the surrounding peaks. Dur¬
ing the heated term the population is
almost doubled. They have ten ho
tels and the hemes are open to visit
ors. The Ritchie Industrial school
—‘ d
w,
j public school building, gives the
children ol Rabun and adjoining
ixcelhnt school facilities,
T lie citizens tendered us an auto rido
1 hurt day afternoon, r J lie fertile
fields of (lie Tennessee valley will
have an abundance of grain this year.
The gccd leads movement bad put
the highways there in splendid trim
aid people lie in all pails of the
country were sight seeing. We could
hear gccd irad talk cn all sides.
Fiiday afternoon found us embark¬
ing for Atlanta. This was a delight¬
ful cuting, combining business and
pleasure. To our retiring president,
Mr. Paul Umber, we waited best
wishes and to incoming President
Kelley Sin.mens we extend the same.
In the meantime the editors go back
to their respective fields of labor re¬
solved to do the best possible work
for Greater Georgia.
Among the things that impressed
me during my stay in Clayton was a
visit to the gtsve of Miss Celeste Par¬
rish, a most highly gifted woman.
It was lur request that after life’s
woile was o'er her body should rest in
the shadew of the Blue Ridge. This
request teas granted, for a few feet
in the rear ol the Baptist Chun h lies
all that was moital of her who had
performed so ncbly her pait in life.
Across frem her icsting place neslles
an attractive little bungalow, here she
leurd nst Item the: aiduous labors as
teacher. She dtew inspiration from
the hills. Not content will) teaching
she sought cut the l oys and girls of
Georgia who wire endeavoring (o fit,
themselves for life’s woik and ren¬
dered n.uih n aferial assistance. May
her mantle fall cn other shoulders.

Friday evening.
Friday was a typical rainy day,
one dcsMi pcor after another until it
seemed that the social would be litera¬
rained cut. However theeemmit-
tee on cnteitaii ment kept busy with
t heir plans and at ihe appointed time
e vci>tiling was in readiness and the
crowd gall frit!-—the B.Y F. 1 . with
out a single number absent and sc vir¬
al visilois. The house was decoialid in
the B.Y. I’. U. colors of gold and
black the reception hall being espe¬
cially pretty in ropes of gold and
black crepe paper caught giacefully to
the walls with large sunflowers: the
sunflowers and manigolds were used
profuscdly in the decorations through¬
out; the lights w ere shaded with yellow
ai d in the nar of the ball were two
punch bcwlcs at which Misses Lillie
and Carrie Richardson presided. They
were assisted in serving by Miss Lois
Reams anil Master Roy Kennon.
Each wore a charming yellow cap
with B.Y. lb U. in black letter.
Many enjoyable games were played,
'i I.itc was net a dull mcmcnt duiing
the evening. The games were inter¬
rupted by a tramp being announced at
the dcor: Mr.Wilson Reams dressed
as a very tagged dirty old tramp was
admitteed, and created much amuse¬
ment with his spell of woe.
Next Mrs. Homer Kennon read a
letter containing a proposal, also the
answer dated in 1867. The boys were
then ask to write a modern pro
jcesI nr.cl the girls an acceptance.
This was rich as the boys know how¬
to handle the subject: the girls knew
how to accept. The letters were col¬
lected and read and a prize given
M its Verna Green for the wittiest ac¬
ceptance.
Mrs Mamie Harris brought down
the house w : tli several good readings.
“Kaiser Bill and the Devil,” “My
Sister’s Beau,” etc. Miss Vetua Green
also recited one of “Betsy Hamilton s
Specials” adding much to the humor
of the occasion. Music was fur¬
nished during the evening on piano
