GEORGIA PRESS ASSOCIATION
eSjoys ENTERTAINMENT
The 37tli annual convention of the
Georgia Press Association was one of
the most delightful in the history of
the organization.
Leaving Atlanta in the early hours
Monday morning, the party was wel
uri ied on arrival at Toccoa by whistles
,
nd various demonstrations. After
viewing the evidences of Toccoa’s pro
g ,. ess i n automobiles through the town,
the editors were whirled away to Toe
toa Falls, the Niagara of Georgia—a
spot of historic and scenic interest,
the outstanding feature of which is
the wonderful school located there. The
Interdenominational school conducted
bv Dr. and Mrs. Forest. It is a school
of prayer, and has been blessed gra¬
ciously despite many odds. Young
people are trained there for foreign
fields and the various duties that
await them in life.
The personel of the faculty is de¬
lightful. In the presence of such con¬
secrated Christians, a worth-while ideal
becomes compelling.
Attractive programs were given in
the auditorium and a bountiful dinner
beautifully served by the students m
the dining room of which Toccoa’s
Kiwanis Club was host.
Out from Toccoa, enroute to Lavonia
a reception was held in the home of
Dr. and Mrs. Jeff Davis, assisted by
prominent ladies from other surround¬
ing towns.
The beauty and elegance of this
home, modeled after Mt. Vernon, was
charming indeed.
Lavonia—the gem city of the Pied¬
mont section, was the hostess proper,
where the editors arrived about 6
o’clock.
At the Lavonia Hotel, Mr. and Mrs.
Rush Burton’s splendid hostelry, Rev.
Clyde Adams and his competent com¬
mittee on homes, soon had their guests
comfortably located.
It was our good fortune to be as¬
signed to the home of Mr. and Mr3.
W. B. Richairdson, delightful people
who with their young son, Bascom and
all their gracious relatives, vied with
each other in anticipating everything
they thought we looked like we
wanted.
Our fellow guests In this delectable
home were Mrs. Lawrence Smith, of
Ashburn and Mrs. Corra Harris of
Rydal.
The convention was formally opened
Monday evening in Lavonia School
auditorium.
Hon. John Dortch, mayor, welcomed
the guests and received a grateful re¬
sponse from Mr. Jones Perryman, of
Talbott on.
Mrs. Corra Harris and Governor
Olif Walker were the speakers of the
occasion.
A musical program by local talent
interspersed the program.
After Tuesday morning’s business
session. Hartwell was the objective.
In company with other fortunate
friends we were guests of Mayor
Dortch and his gracious wife on the
trip over.
The luncheon provided by Hartwell
was artistic in appointment and deli¬
cious in menu. Editors Louie and
I-con Morris were hosts and prepared
a charming program.
Royston, Canon and Carnesville fol¬
lowed in rapid succession with wel¬
comes and refreshments.
At Canon we were accorded a cor¬
dial greeting by Mrs. Owen and young
son Jefferson Christian, for the sake
of Covington's “auld asquaintance”
The woman’s program presented at
Wednesday morning session by Mrs.
Emily Woodward, featured woman's
viewpoint of the association.
Those taking part were Mrs. Angus
Perkerson (Medora Field), of The At¬
lanta Journal; Miss Mary Singleton,
Tri-Co-Advertiser, Clhrkesville, Mrs.
Lynda Lee Bryan, Covington News;

itude of the body for the
manner in which Mr. Rush Burton and
his co-laborers of that section carried
out this gigantic undertaking.
Mrs. Lynda Lee Bryan had the pleas¬
ure of telling in a bit of selected rhyme
the following message:
' This week has been one gem-like
week,
Hung on life’s golden string;
A week, far from life’s toil and moil
Afar from everything
But relaxation in a section blessed
by such a clime
As must have breathed o’er Eden’s
vales in Father Adam’s time;
A week with brother Editors to look
to future days,
A week to reminise with them o’er
.unforgotten ways;
A week to speak of those who long
since have gone
But who in spirit walk with us
And help to make us strong.
A week to learn more of our state
Than we have known before.
North East Georgia, brimmed with
the good things of life—
And then some more—
A week for forming friendships
That shall never fade or die.
A week of blossomed happiness be¬
neath a summer sky,
Of laughter, of song and all the
things that make life worth while
The giving of our (very best to life
and with a smile
We say this Week is like a gem
hung on a string of gold—
Each moment of it is a gem, more
than a string can hold.
The men who help to shape the
thoughts of this our splendid
State
Descendants, many of them of the
men who made it great
And put it firmly on the path that
it has come along
The women who helped with faith
to mak it clean and helped to
make it strong.
The men who toiled with muscle and
with brain, but not for self.
Editors whose eyes are on the
heights
Whose tho’ts are not of pelf—
Are here today and glad to be
They will have much to tell
And every one shall testify
Rush Burton (Lavonia))
You have done well!!
The elegant souvenir of the Ga.
Press convention compiled and edited
by Rush Burton and presented by the
Lavonia Times and Ga. Ry. and Power
Co., is a lasting memorial of the mar¬
velous work accomplished in that
glorious God’s country.
We were proud indeed, of the Coving¬
ton orchestra playing at Cliff house,
Tallulah Falls. This is composed of
Miss Florence Wells, Mrs. J. C. Ander¬
son and Eugene Vining and others.
Miss Nelle Butler was there too, the
inspiration of the artistic decorations
of the brilliant banquet provided by
the Ga. Railway and Power company.
The trip through all that Tallulah
country and views of the miracle mak¬
ings of the Georgia Railway and Power
company is decribed as follows
One of the delightful features of the
trip came as a climax a two day’s out¬
ing, spent at Lakemont, Tallulah and
Tugalo, as guests of the Georgia Rail¬
way and Power company. A fish fry
at noon Thursday was served on the
banks of Tallulah lake, followed by
fancy swimming and diving stunts,
and an elaborate banquet was given
Thursday evening in the big dining
room of the Cliff house at Tallulah
Falls.
The long white tables, with their
decorations of gladioli and other garden
flowers, with bright paper hats, stream
ers, colored balloons, and all manner
of noise makers, presented a gay and
festive scene. The contagion of holi¬
day mood swept everyone into the spir¬
it of the wit, and repartee that flash¬
ed back and forth across the board,
where six delectable courses were
served. Afterward the room was
cleared for an old-fashioned quadrille,
in which everyone joined.
H. M. Atkinson, chairman of the
board of directors of the Georgia Rail¬
and Power company, made the ad¬
way
dress of welcome, and outlined new
plans and ideals for harnessing more
electric power for the state. Other
speakers representing the company
were Preston Arkwright, president,
Charles G. Adist, G. W. Brine and F.
L. Butler, vice-president. Responses
were made by Major John S. Cohen,
president and editor of The Journal;
Clark Howell. Jr., of The Constitution;
W. C. Sutlive, of The Savannah Press,
retiring president of the association,
Charles D. Rountree of the Wrights
ville Headlight, newly-elected president
and F. D. Singleton, of The Clarkesville
Tri-County Advertiser. Mrs. Corra
Harris, famous Georgia winter, was
the only woman speaker, Linton K.
Starr, in charge of the public relations
department of the Georgia Railway and
Power company, was given an ovation
the bright particular star behind the
as
scenes who staged the two-day outing.
Friday morning the entire party leit
for Tugalo, and the site of the mam
moth dam, now nearing completion.
Here Jackson Dick, D. W. Sinclair.
Horace Pomeroy. Richard Fox, Paul

honors of the occasion. At noon rail¬
way oar8 were provided and the party
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA
made the trip to a beautiful grove op
posite the site where work has recently
begun on the Ralston dam. A delicious
picnic luncheon was served, after
which some dignified officials repre¬
senting both power and press, and some
of the ladies, went wading in the shal
lows of Tugalo river. The rest of the
gentlemen and ladies in the party spent
their efforts trying to get snapshots,
but the sun wasn’t exactly right, so it
is probable that no evidence will be
available.
Later in the afternoon, the open rail¬
way cars were boarded again and
made the trip to Tugalo junction
through some of the most beautiful
mountain scenery imaginable. The la¬
dies of Tugalo were waiting with punch
and refreshments and a few minutes
later the Pullman special, provided by
the Southern railway for the Tallulah
trip, rounded the curve, picked up its
editorial passengers, and brought them
into Atlanta without a stop enroute.
It was the end of two perfect days.
TENNESSEE LAI) PROVES CORN
AND HOGS MONEY MAKERS
Tom Milam, fifteen year old lad in
the third year Clarksburg, Tennessee
vocational class, grew eighty-five bush¬
els of corn per acre, and marketed two
litters of pigs from one sow in a year
cleaning up $187.50 on the projects.
When a Smith-Hughes teacher was
employed at Clarksburg, Tom Milam
was one of the first to take up the
course of study presented. He selected
corn as his first project. He prepared
a one-acre plot fertilizing it with 100
pounds of nitrate of soda and 200 lbs.
of acid phosphate. Pure bred disease
free corn was planted, and from the
acre he husked 85 bushels, which was
45 bushels above the average per acre
yield for the same kind of land in his
locality.
Tom exhibited ten ears of his corn
at the State fair at Nashville, winning
third prize, and first prize at the Clarks¬
burg fair in competition with more
than sixty corn growers.
The second year he bought “Bertha”
a two-year old pure bred Poland China
sow. She farowed him three litters
within a year, of nine, seven and eight
pigs respectively, and Tom helped h^r
to save them all. The first two litters
were marketed at eight months and
six months of age respectively, for a
total of $187.50, and the third litter
is being fed for market.
Tom and hundreds of other voca¬
tional students and pig club members
are demonstrating that the mortgage
lifting combination of the corn belt Will
operate profitably elsewhere.
