Tuesday, March 25th, 1913,
will long be remembered by sev
eral physicians and their wives,
and Several others, who were
guests of Dr. and Mrs. J. G.
Kineaid at a fish fry at Ballard’s
mill.
The occasion was begun and
carried to a successful conslusion
by Dr. Kincaid of Pine Park,
assisted by his beautiful and ac
complished wife.
Who were there?
Well it was a doctor’s doing
and the medicine men were in
the majority, but the pulpit and
the press were wonderfully and
mightily represented, especially
about dinner time.
Pine Park, the home of Dr.
Kincaid, is only a couple of miles
from Ballard’s mill, Ballard’s
mill is on Barnett’s creek, and
Barnett’s creek is a great place
for fish. Hence Dr. Kincaid
conceived the idea of entertain
ing his brother physicians at a
fish fry. All the physicians in
the county were invited, and all
• were present except five, Dr. A.
B. Reynolds oi Reno, Dr. Webbe
of Whigham, Dr. Maxwell of
Calvary, Dr, Bryant of Grady-
ville and Dr. Belcher of Akridge,
were unable to attend.
Of course no banquet is com
plete without the preacher and
the newspaper fraternity. Bro.
Hart, the Baptist pastor at Pine
Park, Editor and Mrs. Herbert
Wind of the Messenger, and your
humble servant,- were among
the fdrturtate ones.
Dinner was served about 1:30,
and it was a “top notch” picnic
dinner too; plenty of fish, well
cooked, hoe-cake corn bread and
hot, steaming coffee, now if you
don’t believe that there was
some eating going on then and
there, you ask Dr. Warnell and
Dr, Lindsey. .If we are not very
much mistaken they were there
just about that time and very,
very busy.
The ladies present -seemed to
enjoy fishing, but Mrs. Lindsey,
we believe, was the only one to
make a catch, a nice jack fish.
Dr. Arline was also a fortu
nate fisherman, as was Herbert
Mr. Will Norton, an old Grady
county boy who strayed away to
South Florida last years, is at
home again. He came last week
and is going to stay. He has
rented a store at Reno and will
embark in the mercantile busi
ness. He is buying his stock
this week and will open up with
in the near future.
Mr. Norton has many friends
in Grady who will not only' be
glad to welcome him back, but
will also wish him success in his
new enterprise.

Pursuant to a call meeting, of
a number of road subjects of the
Woodland neighborhood, met
March the 25th to discuss road
matters, and the following res
olutions were unanimously
adopted:
. Whereas, we feel that we have
not been fairly treated in regard
to our taxes, and
\» hereas, the roads are still in
a deplorable condition and little
or no betterment now in sight,
therefore
Be it resolved’ 1st, that we
will refuse to work the roads or
pay the taxes for same under the
present way of working them.
Resolved 2nd, that everyone
subject to road duty, and every
tax payer of this county is re
quested to meet at the Court
House in Cairo on Tuesday,
April 1st at ten o’clock, A. M. to
help devise some plans by which
the citzens of this county can
have better roads, or our taxes
materially reduced.
