C0MMEHIS-& COMEBACKS
S City of Tifton
Hfc County, Georgia.
SATURDAY ^IGHT.
Sunday at Obadiah Gay's.
A summer Sunday morning, and with time
hanging on their hands, Bud and the Boy went
over to Neighbor Gay's to spend the day.
It was only a seven-mile walk, and there was
no road, a dim hocse-path trail leading through
the wlregraaa and the unbroaken pine forest.
Branches were crossed by leaping from one tus
sock to another, or the boy, barefoot, frankly
waded. It is interesting to note that where the
forest stood that day, now lies some of Soutli
Georgia's finest faym lands.
Neighbor.Gay lived In a sHfgle-pen log house,
set back in the field. In this house he had raised
• .family of seventeen,. It .was built when no
lumber was to be had and man depended on
his'own resources and those of nature. The
Walls were of pine log*, cut while clearing the
field that surrounded h. The cracks were cei
led with long strips, or boards, rivdll from split
pine, with a frow. The ’ floor was of punch-
eons— logs split and hewn smooth on one side.
The roof was covered with three-foot boards,
rived- as those for the ceiling, only one-third a?
sticks split square from Blocks of pine, laid pen
fashion, the interstices filled wjth\ clay. To
bpild a chimney required skill in construction
as well aa selection and mixing-- of clay.
The doors,, likewise of split boards, hung
home-made hinges of black-gum.
The field in which the house stood was s
rounded by a worm rail fence, and entrance
*raa through a set of bars sliding into mortised
holes in posts on eithM* side, A white, sandy
path led- from the bank to the house. This was
a great game coun^jrthen, and Neighbor Gay
lived near the banka of a stream where fish and
game were plentiful. A dozen reed, fishing-
poles leaned in the chimney corner ^w^d more
than a dozen deer-hounds raised a vociferous
alarm as the visitors approached. Two of the}|
older boys—young men in fact,’ .tall, well-knit
fellows, came down tq the bars to guard them
in.
It was a greM gjfce. requiring some skill, and
many cries of ylfcn'ance," “vencq yer
"knucks,JF M hhld studdy hand," “vence
yer any's" etc-, Jnd more than once a dispute as
to the enforcement of the rules of the game,
well-known aa usually closely adhered to.
The Boy, wmh the others of his size, was busy
in the absorbing games of “knucke.” and "mum
ble-peg.” Tfc first was played much the same
aa-^rolly hole*,’’ of today, rolling marbles into
a series of fair holes; but with the difference
that the last mt to complete the circuit had to
put his knuckles down on the taw-llne for the
others to taM a shot it. “Mumble-peg,”
now, was nayed by cleverly twirling
open pocket^nife so that it described a circle
and stuck upi4ghti But then the one who lost
had to root out-4 peg driven tight in' the ground
with his nose, and that was some mean Job,
believe mo, and left a sorelf not skjnned noec.
Lengthehing shadows warned that night ap
proached, and the seven-mile walk home com
pleted a full day. Of those who met and play
ed nnd laughed an that Sunday, all but one art
gone—aa are the customs and the surround
ings of what wail typifeal Wiregroas country
home and typical .Wlregrass people of forty

To the many warm personal friends,
during his twenty y
i' residence in Tifton; to
his hundreds of liusineas associates, and to the
mass of the citizenship of city and section the
news that Mr. W. W, Banka is soon to leave Tif
ton to enter broader fields of financial usefulness
will bring sincere regret.
-hile he will not sever his relationship
.with the 'nstitution which he has directed for
two decades, nor with Tifton and the varied en
terprises in which he is interested; while his con
nection with one of the leading banka-, of the
capital'‘city will mean much for Tifton and en
able him to be of great assistance in the future
development of this city and its business enter
prises, yet we will miss his presence, his personal
counsel, and his co-operation, always readily
given,which ^ave meant so much to Tifton and
section surrounding during the yaars he has
made his home here.
