Airport for Covington
Pilot T, J. Hogue, advance man for
the Beeler Blevins Flying Service, the
largest flying school in the South, is
in Covington to cooperate with local
people and the City council looking to
ward the establishment of an airport
for Covington. Mr. Hogue is aero edi
tor of the Atlanta Journal.
Every city must have an airport, as
the big plane companies, Ford, Gen
eral Motors and others are pushing
the sale of their products all over the
■country. They arc being established
at the rate of ten a day in all towns
and cities. The airport in a few years
will be as important as a railroad
station was fifty years ago. The town
that lacks an airport will lie in the
same condition as the town a genera
tion ago that refused to allow a rail
road to put in a station.
The Blevins organization will fly at
Dial Field at Oxford on Saturday and
Sunday. H. L. Burdick is a war fly
er and conducted schools at Chicago
and Deland, Fla. He is one of the
most capable and careful pilots in
the country.
We must have an airport to keep
on the map. just as we had to have
a railroad station and a paved road
for trains and automobiles.

pets performed 26 miles to the gallon.

Branham Reunion
The fourth Branham reunion was
celebrated on the “Glorious Fourth” at
the old Branham home in Oxford, now
the residence of Miss T.ynn Branham
and Rev. and Mrs. W. R. Branham II.
Among the early settlers of the village
of Oxford was Rev. Walter Richard
son Branham and his wife. Mrs. Eliz
abeth Flournoy Branham. Although he
was a member of the North Georgia
conference and a pastor of many im
portant stations and a presiding elder
of various district yet liis family re
mained in Oxford. Here liis sous and
daughters grew to manhood and worn
nnhood and after marriage some of
them moved to other localities—one
son having been a merchant in Sparta
another son a physician in Burke
county—one son. Walter Richardson.
TT II, was a traveling . preacher , in the
North .. ,, Georgia conference and , vet an
other son. a state official in Atlanta.
Two daughters married merchants in
Atlanta and Bolton, while one re
mained at home and she it is that still
lives in . the .. dear . old ... home. ... ATiss Lynn. T
Several „ , years ago the ,, ,, idea of . an
annual gathering at the old home took
place at the suggestion of Mrs. Jamie
Moore, one of the grandchildren. Those
tnking part in the reunion this 'rep- vear
were from a wider territory and
resented more branches of the family
than heretofore. Arore than one him- <
dred and fifty were present on this
joyous occasion, coming from all
points of the compas—some from Ce
dartown fn North Georgia, F’ort Yal- |
ley in South Georgia, and one couple :
gave up a vacation in Daytona Beach.
Fla., to be present. A wonderful bas
ket dinner was served on a long ta
ble in the back yard under giant oaks
over one hundred years old.
The gathering was presided over by
Walter Richardson Branham. III. a
merchant of Atlanta, in a most happy
and charming manner. When introduc
ing the speakers, he remarked that
there were three outstanding men who
had influenced his life, his grandfath
er. Walter Richardson Branham. Sr.,
his own father. Junius Wingfield
Branham, and his uncle, Walter Rich
ardson Branham. II. The last named
gentleman gave a most interesting ad
dress. filled with anecdotes and remin
iscences. He paid a beautiful tribute
to that Queen of Women to all old
Oxford citizens, who. since the last
reunion had taken up her abode in the
land that is fairer than day—Aliss
Emmie Stewart.
Other speakers heard with great
interest and pleasure were Dr. Iver
