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.
The Joint Committee’s report is as follows:
