BACK HOME: Mrs. Cornelia
Holtzclaw of Macon, 93, was THE
outstanding visitor at the Perry
Camellia Show last weekend. “Miss
Cornele,” as she is known here,
came with her son, John Holtzclaw
of Macon, and renewed many long
standing friendships. She says the
home now occupied by Dr. and
Mrs. J. L. Gallemore should be
known as the Ragan Home, not the
Barnes Home as reported in the
Macon Telegraph last week. Two
Ragan men and their spinster sis
ters lived in the home for many,
many years before the Barnes
family bought it. John Holtzclaw
said he had heard the story that
the first part of the house was
built by a group of men as a
“whist” club.

and Billy Bledsoe, former basket

is the best refereeing we have seen
all year and the opposing coach
even thought it was good. Both ad
mitted being “slightly tired” af
ter the game was over.

Perry High School
Gets Good Rating
R. G. Williams, area representa
tive of the State Department of
Education, this week made an in
spection of the Perry High School
and rated the local school as
“good” in every point.
Mr. Williams’ report showed
adequate grounds, good library
and laboratory facilities and lunch
room program. He reported the
school is “offering a good range of
subject areas” and the nistruction
al materials are “adequate in
every respect”. He said records
are well kept and properly safe
