GEORGIA DAY AT
HANCOCK SCHOOL,
Pursuant to a bill passed by the i
hist legislature requiring all!
schools in tho state to observe
Georgia Day with appropriate ex-!
ereises, Professor Auld invited ev
ery family in the community toi
come out. and bring dinner, and;
right well they responded.
A nice program, consisting of;
leadings, recitations and songs,
had been prepared, and the splen
did style m which these were ren
dered, showed the careful training |
which the pupils had received.
Col. Eugene Talmadge, the or-1
ator of the day. "in a fine oration |
on George M. Truop, held his au-!
dfence spellbound t’oran hour. His ;
i chaste and beautiful language and j
his fine oratory, have never been i
| equaled in this section, and the;
concourse of citizens gathered here
were literally lifted from their
seats by his wit and humor. May
his shadow never grow less.
then the dinner—such a dinner! !
the ladies of the neighborhood, j
already distinguished for their!
fine dinners, fairly outdid them
selves in the spread on this occu-!
sion and all showed their keen ap-;
preciation thereof by the manner
in which they treated these good
things.
The music was ably led by Miss I
Ida Ladsou, and the singing was!
fine.

Wish, Mr. Editor, you could
have been with us. Success to you
and your noble enterprise.

\\ . L. Converse, of tills city, re
ceived a letter yesterday from her
duughtcr, Mihh Enlalie, who is
~ going to school' in Pans and who
w as m that city during the groat
Hood. Miss ('Olivers.* writes that
tin- reports from the Hood were
not. exaggerated. Her .School,
i however, is on a high lull and the
lonlv inconvenience guttered was
t "
that they luul no lights. Two
blocjcs from the school, however,
the red waters of the Seine did
destructive work, covering almost
| the entire city.
Miss Converse spoke of the
prompt action of the city officials
in seeing that they were safe and
did not sutler for food or other
things. She said that Senator
Macon’s daughter, Mrs. Carry,
; was a great loser by the Hood as
her aimutsiieiits were tilled with
j water. Mrs. Curry was invited to
the school which Miss Converse
|is attending, to remain there un
it il her future plans are perfected.
