Was Satterwhite’s Dream
Driving slowly down Poplar street,
thence into South Hill past the mon¬
ument^ I turned down Solomon and
parked in front of the Griffin hotel.
Thu* describes my first entrance into
Griffin—the Jewel of Georgia.
Seeking the position of secretary of
the Griffin-Spalding county Chamber
of Commerce, I immediately inter¬
viewed the young lady in charge and
as she shys; asked her questions so
fast she thought I was either a Pink¬
erton detective or an escaped kmatic.
Anyway, I secured what I was after—
information.
I returned to my room and remark¬
ed to my father who had atcompanied

clear, straight advice, which, if
followed, will, we believe, bring
