SHORT TiME FOR MEDAL CONTEST. Rules of Contest For Medal Offered By The Weekly Are Again Given. We again call the attention of the school children of Henry county to the Gold Medal offered by the Editor of The Weekly. The Rules and Regulations adopted by the Joe Wheeler and Charles T. Zachry Chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy were published in these columns some time ago. Copies of the same were also mailed to each teacher in the county. MAY 15, 1911, IS THE LAST DAY ON WHICH THE ESSAYS MAY BE SENT IN. So let our school girls and boys begin to work on their essays, and each strive to win the medal. Everyone who writes will be amply repaid for his work in the increased knowledge and experience as a writer gained by the effort, whether he wins the medal or not. The period of the past which the writer shall treat is not limited; he may begin with-the county’s organization and trace its entire his tory, with incidents in the lives of those who made its history, or he make take any particular period of its history, such as the Civil War period, narrating the sufferings of our county in the same and the part played by any of our citizens in the same. The essay may consider the county’s industrial, church, or other history, —in brief any line of activity which has been any part of our county’s history. To this end, the children are urged to interview their most aged neighbors and relatives for the facts known only to them, and so permanentlv preserve much valuable information.
