■ A THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GRADY COUNTY CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1913, Grady County Medicine Men Have Fish-Fry at Ballard’s Fine Spread - Royal Hospi tality - Good Crowd • Dr. and Mrs. Kincaid, Host and Hostes?. TO ENTER BUSINESS AT RENO A.. % »v--. 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.
