THE MURRAY NEWS.
SPRING PLACE, MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA FRIDAY, APRIL 1909 .
ODD FELLOW’S CONVENTION.
Murray County Gets a Majority
of the Officers Elected.
The Odd Fellows of Murray
county made a big hit at the
meeting of Cherokee Division
No. 8 . at Cartersville, Ga., on
April 23rd and 24th.
Murray was well represented
by delegates and speakers.
Those making addresses of note
were: Cols. W, D. Heartsell of
Spring Place and R. N. Steed,
of Eton. Col, Steed’s response
to the welcome address could not
be surpassed by any one in the
state.
W. D. Ileartsill, when called
on for a speech said he was not
an orator, but a plain plow hoy,
which the convention adopted
and gave him the name of “The
Plow Boy Orator.” It was con¬
ceded by all present that his
speech was the main feature of
the occasion.
Other delegates attending from
Murray county were I. N. Stuart
and Hardy Ryan, Ohatsworth;
M. L. Roberts, Spring Place; J.
P, Naney, Dr. S. A. Brown and
John Black, Eton ; J. A. Owens,
J. H. Spears and W r . L. Gludson,
Oohutta Springs; Samuel Hig¬
don and W. M. Headrick, Cisco;
R. E. Chambers and W. H. Rat
cliff, Ramhurst: W. N. Stroud
and R. S. Dunn, Sumach; W. L.
Hammontree, Fullers.
Murray county succeeded in
capturing three out of five offices
and made the best showing as to
progress, morality, etc. Those
j elected from this county were:
! R. N Steed, Deputy Grand Mas
iter; R. E. Chambers, Secretary,
j alH j ji r . S. A, Brown, Treasurer,
There is a strong sentiment in
favor of establishing an official
otgan for this division, which, if
it is done, will he located at
Spring Place and will do much
toward strengthening the order.
The many friends of Hon. W.
J. Peeples throughout the state
of Georgia will learn with sorrow
that he was stricken with paraly
sis at his home in Eton last Thurs¬
day morning. His whole right
side was affected and it was fear¬
ed his condition was quite seri¬
ous, but from later news it is
hoped he may soon recover.

a controversy over what is classic

that “All Coons Look Alike to
Me,” is really the only classic
piece he ever saw or heard

WHITFIELD COUNTY DRIVES
OX CARTS. NOT ML RAY
Editor Argus; In an article
on April 15 headed “Fanners,
Gome to Town With Much Cot
ton” the writer seems to be in a
quandary as to where it came
from. He seems to have heard
it was from Murray county. And
he says, “one fact which seems
to contradict this statement is
to be found in the fact that Mur¬
ray county usually drives ox
teams and there is not an ox
team in the whole carravan.”
Each team was drawn by a spank¬
ing good pair of horses ora well
fed pair of mules.
After twenty-five years expe¬
rience with the farmers of Mur¬
ray county 1 desiie to say that
the facts he mentions would
make me believe that the cotton
came from that county, as those
are the kind of teams they drive.
Many ox teams are drawn
through this county to Dalton,
and well may Dalton wish for
them to increase for they come
from the mountain section of
North Georgia, and are driven
by citizens from the mountains
of which a Georgian might well
be proud.
Respectfully,
S. E. BERRY.
Tunnel Hill, Ga., April 16, 1909.
Editorial Note— Now, Prof Berry
has gone and given us away. We
wanted to make it appear that
we raised that cotton, even if we
had to tell a fib about, it Why
will some people always meddle
in other people’s business?
There’s one thing about it all
that’s true. If Murray does have
more horses and mules than
Whitfield, she hasan’t got, an au¬
tomobile. Hoot, mon, she didn't
have a railroad until a year or
so ago. —Dalton Argus.
