At Some Of The
Picnics In Grady
Pat Griffin calls-it the “Princi
pality of Grady,” ami some trips
that this editor made about the
county last Friday convinced him
more than ever that Grady is just
about the best there is.,
About, Ki«0, County School Com
missioncr' J, S; Weathers, came
down and asked us to go with him
arid J.udgo Harrell down to a p.lcnic
at Oak Hill. Quickly donning our
hat Jini Woolfork soon had the par
ty of us speeding thitherward in his
Ford. Arriving on schedule time
wo spent fiome little while meeting
those good people of the Onk Hill
section. We especially’ enjoyed
seeing Judge Harrell greet, the old
friends of his boyhood days. The
GaiucyB,.Lees and Maxwells arc
very much in evidence in this com
munity, and it goes without saying
that where t hese are, you find sterl
ing citizens.
After-,the crowd had^ all assem
bled the speaking was announced
and Mr. Weathers gave a splendid
talk on the necessity for better
preparation for the duties of life
and citizenship by having better
school. At. t he close of his talk
Mr. Weathers introduced Judge
Harrell, The Judge felicitously
accused the County School Com
missioner of having stolen his text
and, he said he was not sure that he
hud not made his speech also,
However,, a f t e r thanking Mr.
Weathers for his splendid talk on
preparedness, lie said that, he was
going to make a short' practical
talk, taking as his subject “Mental
Preparedness.” This editor at
least was much impressed with the
eloquent, and earnest appeal that
this splendid man made to the
young men of this country to rise
to the opportunities that arc theirs,
He paiil a high tribute to the
achievcme'nts of our fathers in the
earlier days of our section, but in
sisted that we must not be content
to follow their methods now, when
all the world is moving forward
under new anil changed conditions.
Wo wish that every young man
and for that matter, all others in
our county could have heard the
address of Judge Harrell that,
morning. ’
At the conclusion of Judge Har
roll’s address, dinner was nnnounc
oil. We did not hear the table
groan, but we think it was because
that the old report about tables
groaning is not well founded
Judge Harrell abd Commissioner
Weathers had been able to “out-
shine” me where the speaking was
going on, but. here was one place
that I could more than hold my
own with them. And that is not
saying that they were not pretty
good there also, *
After an hour or so longer with
these good Oak Hill folks, we
started out again to meet an en
gagement that these speaking gents
had at Woodland. Arrived there
we found a very large crowd. Din
ner was over and the crowd had
already reassembled for the after
noon speaking. When we arrived
Rev. J. P. Swann had just been
requested to" speak for a short
while to the audience, but upon the
entrance of Judge Harrell, he only
continued his talk long enough to
introduce him in a very graceful
manner. In spite of the fact that
I must confess that I had already
heard some parts of the splendid
address that the Judge had made
once that day, yet 1 was able to
get additional inspiration from it..
These Woodland people evident
ly have a splendid school, anil the
interest that they take hi it would
easily explain why.
As we i;ode through the county
.we were impressed with the splen
did condition of the crops. We do
not remember to have ever seen
them look more promising. It is
easy enough too, to see that our
farming methods are rapidly imj
proving. The drouth that we have
had this spring would have been
much more serious in the old days
when our farmers did not prepare
their land so well.
