Battle Os Kettle Creek
To Be Re-enacted June 24
History will come alive for
hundreds of spectators June 24
when the British and Colonial
Armies of America re-enact the
Battle of Kettle Creek in Wash
ington, Georgia.
The elaborate production will
be staged in a natural amphi
theatre on the outskirts of the
city.
The original battle, fought Feb
ruary 14, 1779, gave the British
a crushing defeat and turned the
redcoats back from the heart of
Georgia. According to history,
thé British commander, Col.
Boyd, was marching 700 men
to meet another loyalist com-~-
mander, Col. McGirth, who was
camped on Little River, six miles
west of Washington, Had they
been able to join forces and pur=-
sue their objective the patriots’
cause in Georgia might have
proved futile.
The Colonial commanders,
Elijah Clark, Andrew Pickens,
and John Dooly, assembled about
400 men and surprised Boyd at
Kettle Creek. Boyd was killed,
along with 70 of his men, and
their people, you can learn about
the moon, stars and planets and
man’s efforts tolearn more about
them; or justcomeinandbrowse,
you are sure to find something
to interest you.
Something of special interest
is a display of Indian arrowheads
and other artifacts that were
found on the Jack Morgan farm.
This is a loan to the library
and was arranged by Barbara
and Davis Morgan. Note what
can be found in your own county.
Reduce Prices
Fifty-Four Kroger Stores in
Georgia and Alabama closed their
doors Monday, June 19, as em
ployees reduced prices on 2,000
items.
The new lower prices will be
available to shoppers at the re
tail food firm’s 43 stores in
Georgia and 11in Alabama, oper=-
ated by the company’s Atlanta
Division.
Walter M. Baker, Atlanta Divi
sion’s Vice President, said ‘‘We
at Kroger always have offered
outstanding food values at lower
prices to our customers. Now,
we are offering bigger bargains
at even lower everyday low pri
ces . . . plus Kroger’s exciting
and exclusive extra, Top Value
Stamps.”
Mr. Baker noted that contin
uing studies of customer respon=-
se to Top Value Stamps con=-
vinced the company that shop
pers like and want to continue
to receive stamps.
“It will take a lot of sales
to enable us to continue at this
extremely low discount price
level. However, we are confid
ent that shoppers will recognize
the new savings now available to
them and will support our pro
gram enthusiastically’’, conclu
ded Baker. The firms announce
ment of sharp price reductions
is a highlight of Kroger’s Atlanta
Division’s 1967 Merchandising
Program.

Robert Travis
his unit thoroughly routed. The
British troops never again ven
tured into this section of Georgia.
Besides the military implicat=
ions of the victory, it provided a
tremendous psychological lift to
the colonials., The battle showed
them how to beat the trained
British soldiers with guerrilla
tactics and pin-point accuracy
with their squirrel guns.
The event is sponsored locally
by the Washington-Wilkes Jay
cees, the City of Washington and
other interested groups.
A revolutionary parade will
precede the battle and will end
at the re-enactment site, on High
way 78 at the west city limits
of Washington,
