The Pilgrim is following fast 11
on the heels of the Indian. While |
the Red Skin bit the dust of an I
invading horde from across the «
sea, the Pilgrims are belatedly s
getting a taste of their own herbs. 1
They, too, are fast disappearing, i
victims of a force from the frozen t
Never Never Land. A little round <1
inan with a fat little belly is r
holding the reins while a red-nosed s
creature with four long slender s
legs charges with antlered head. 1
Lt is probably the first time in x
history that a beautiful myth has 1
destroyed our vary reason for ;
existence. ;
Each store tries to be the first
to put up Christmas decorations
and on this theory poor old Santa
and his elves will have to work
twelve months out of the year
instead of two as is the present
situation.
Before all the Pilgrims and
Indians flee to elementary school
chapel programs to take refuge
from Santa Claus I would like
once again to see them taking pot
shots at each other behind trees
growing in store windows.
The thermometer may have
shown an official 34 Tuesday
morning but nt 7 a.m. the water
in Beauty the Bovine’s tub had a
thick skim of ice and the faucet
wouldn't turn on. The water in
the smaller pan of Big Cat was
frozen solid. And so were my
toes after I got back in the kitchen.
Now it can be told. We have
been nurturing five oranges on
the tree at our house waiting for
them to ripen, so 1 could tell about
going out in the yard to pick fruit
for breakfast. AH of us were
sworn to secrecy lest they be pluck
ed before their time. They were
right there for all the youngsters
who were around every day to
see but they stayed to ripen just

chosen and sworn to submit the
following commitments and rec
ommendations.
1. J. D. Harn was selected and
named foreman. N. H. Ham,
Clerk, and E. M. Dukes, bailiff.
2. We fix the pay of jurors and
bailiffs at the rate of six dollars
($6) per day for the year of

ing November 9th, 1960 and ex- I
piring on November 9th, 1965, to
succeed William 0. Jones from the i
twentieth district whose term ex- i
pires on November 9th, 1960. i
4. Hon. J. R. DeLoach, County <
Superintendant, of Schools, sub- i

before Tuesday’s cold morning.
Aunt Callie, who is visiting
briefly at our house from Athens
and Fort Lamar, says she thinks
she has set a record but we can’t
figure out just what. She was
eating boiled pig’s feet—two of
them- and pickles at 1:30 Mon
day morning. Her visit to see her
nephews has been a success. We
served for her special enjoyment
shrimp, pig's feet and cold grits.
The cold grits (which she likes)
we can furnish any time. (Note'
how I skirted the grammatical I
problem of singular or plural ■
grits.)
Congratulations to the 6th and
7th grade 4-H Clubs of Bryan’
County High for their booth in
the Coastal Empire Fair. Double:
congratulations because they won
third place. But the point is the
club was the only organization in
the county with an exhibit. Sev
eral Future Farmer boys and oth
er 4-H members had individual ex
hibits. Adult leaders of the 4-H
clubs are commended for encour
aging the young people.
June Baylor, who is editor of
the very successful and interest
ing Richmond Hill page in the
Journal, visited the office last
week. We appreciate this attrac
tive young lady and are enjoying
the relationship, not to mention
the good copy. I met her Neill
only briefly when he told the dog
at their house not to chew me up
because I was the friendly type.
At that exact minute 1 was more
concerned with being on good
terms with the dog than with the
Master of the household. I hope
there will be a more opportune
time.
A president has been elected.
He is your president and my pres
ident. Whether or no. Long live
our new president.

that the incoming Board of Coun

effort to enforce and effect col

interest and costs thereon.
We further recommend that the

including a list of all uncollected
tax fi.fas. all properties and pro
perties rights owned by the Coun
ty, all moneys and assets owned
by the County as well as a com-I
plete statement of all liabilities of I
the County to whom due and the I
i amount thereof.

Many oifices and grand jury
