HOLLIMAN, Adm, Estate Mrs. F. S. Holliman. THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. WILKINSON TO THE FRONT-LET HER PAST INSPIRE HER FUTURE! Wilkinson county has been, is a id ever will be dear to me for many a id varied reasons. My fight sight of her red old mills was caught from the Washington county side, of the Ocoree river one day in December—well, re will not say how many years ago, tut let it suffice to say that the proprietor of The Bulletin had but just reached he spanking age. My father and 1 ourncyed with a wagon train of hou. e hold goods which we were moving to i >ur new home irt Irwinton, and ny | childish eyes looked odut in wonder upon every new scene and happening. We <ro: red on the “flat,” and I le nember that when our faithful fam ily cow, not liking the looks of things around her, jumped overboard. The lalf of a few months old followed hei nother and both animals landed safeh >n the other side —an unusual feat ii cow and calf circles of that dav. lieac i i ig Irwinton just at nightfall, my first ecollections are of the large cape jas saniines,,which lined the walk to o.ir home on either hand. A few weeks later I began my 'nh'-oi life under the guidance of Prof. C. I ’l.apman and Prof. Johnston, two or he most splendid educators Georgia lias ever produced. Here, too, I en tered Bunday school and sat under 11n eachings of such Godly leaders as T. N. Beall, W. B. Stubbs and Miss Nora I Chambers, of sainted memory, and ii, (he little Union church on the hill I | eave my heart to God and definitely I esolved to live for Him. Li Irwinton I lev. W. 8. Baker joined my life te ; >ne of God’s noblemen, and here : 1! ■ly five children, save one, have fust een the light ol day. Is it any wonder then that, no mi t er where 1 roam, my thoughts tun iondiy back to old Wilkinson and th I l.ave seized with delight the oppoi , ■ unity offered by ye editor’s invitation o say something of my first davs i: j the fountry. In the bn: mess world, the name ot A. Baum stands cut prominently in mv thoughts cf those first dayds. ‘ J have oflen wogdored if it is really true that ne kepi it slock of dress goods, shoes, etc., that equaled any you could pur chase in Macon or if it only seemed v- o to my childish mind. I wonder even now. And dthe gracious hospitality of Mrs. Baum! Who of the old timers does not remember the cake and wine she always served her guests? Bless her heart, she nor we dreamed then that she was dishing out poison in a diluted form. Bhe gave mg |he first dish of ice cream I over ate. lee cream was very rare in those days. The Irwinton string band was an other great institution of that time. Mr. J. M. Huff, who also presided over the county paper, played first violin, and he was ably supported by Messrs-. '’. B. Chapman, Nat Hughes, Ben Bra zeal and others. They always had time to give an evening of music upon invitation of pny of their townsmen. The social enjoyment of *'days in the country” at such open houses as the Linges and Mrs. Nesbit, lovingly called “Aunt Sye” by half the chii dren In town—days which were spent in play in the open air, a dinner th for a king at the noon hour and a re i turn to town at dusk, loaded down with sugar cane, groundpeas—they were not goobers, peanuts nor pind ers then- —apples or other produce of these wfll-stoeked, well-kept fprms. Thp first political campaign that I remember was the Beall-Carlisle race, in which old Kilkinson placed herseh on the side of righteousness as she has । ’ done time and time again in subs, 1 quant years, Miiy she never go baek | ward! And now may I say that Wilki.i • son’s girls and boys who have gone out into the world and are making good—and their name is legion—ex pect their old county to measure up to the years that are past and to go , forward to higher, belter and nobler things until she stands in the fore fiont of the lesser states of our com monwealth. What with her thrci I prosperous banks, her recently devel i oped kailin pijngs, her bauxite deposit.- ; for which the Btnte Chamber of Com rnerce is offering fabulous sums, her fertile and diversified soil which v-ili produce anything from chinquapins te 30 cent cotton, her farmers living at home, her automobiles making a neigh borhood of the entire county, there is absolutely no reason why her future should not be as bright as our fond est hopes could wish. Let her give special attention to putting her ehu'eh her school and her county officials on ' the very highest plane possible and he future prosperity is assured and slu will take her rightful place among tin > foremost counties of Georgia.
