UNION RECORDER, MILUOCEVILLE, CA-, OCTOBER 24, 1MR
NELLE WOMACK HINES
Oar Old Horn* Town
Well, well, and a few other deep
subjects might be considered
column this week—for I am going to
talk about our Own Old Home Town
for a change. What’s coming
it anyhow? Maybe it is at last
ing into its own—and getting a
of the things it has deserved
these many years. All of us will be
having the swell head if we don’t
mind—for we have had bouquets
handed us right and left during the
past month.
You remember just a couple of
weeks ago—the D. A. R. State Board
met here. They had the official ses
sion in the auditorium at G. M. C.—
the old capitol building; they had
luncheon in the Marfsion—the old
governor's home; and they were
“tea-ed” at the home of Mrs. David
Ferguson—that wonderfully To*ely
place where you expect to meet
somebody’s grandmother coming
down the stone steps in lavender and i
old lace; “The Nash and I” had a I
very important part in the program I
of the day—we took two of the j
MOST DISTINGUISHED guests to I
ride and then to the tea. and we were 1
all dressed up for the occasion. I
wore a new hat and Lady Nash had
a big bow ''f red, white and blue on
either side her head—her curls all
tied bark you see. I later learned
that the D. A. R. colors were ju-t
blue and white—but it didn’t matter
a bit for there is nothing that will
set off blue and white as well as a
touch of red. Of course, all the sixty
guests were “carried away” with the
beauty of our Old Home Town—to
say nothing of thinking they had
walked “on hallowed grou*nd” 'all
day—that is what one of the visitor*
said to me—so I did not make it up.
Then we had the Fair—and it was
a wonderful Fair. I know, because
I went myself- -and saw. And whe..
I think of the time—away back
yonder—when a few of “the pio-j
neers” in a county fair movement
for Baldwin—(your humble Servant
being one) just “fit, bled, and a!- j
most died’’ for the caux—1 “kind- j
er” felt like shaking hands with my-'
self and everybody else that so many
good worker’s had landed behind the J
undertaking and make a great *uc- j
cess of it. How many of you re-!
member one of the “fairs” we had—,
it was in Mr. E. E. Bass’s potato
house—and we had so many wonder
ful exhibits—Mrs. Beeson was chair- 1
man and she rode all over Baldwin to I
interest the women—and she surely!
did do that thing. And we had?
“aide shows”—(we hadn’t gotten as j
far as a carnival) for I was one my
self. We got a quartette together!
and had a tent—a*id dear me—I j
don’t know what we didn’t do. But .
uccess of the entire program. Just
to get our own Bishop Candler to
come down to talk to us is an event
—and to double it up with such an
unusua’ occasion! Our Home Town
should give the U. D. C’s a rising vote
of thanks—beta goes—everybody
stand up!
And speaking of bouquets for our
Home Town—the Bishop handed us
one himself—altho he said he didn’t
do it for publication—but this is just
between us—tie says he is sorry they
ever moved the capitol away from
here.
And now—we are going to have a
“Talkie.” Yes sir-ree—Mr. Curry is
havirg it put in at fast as it can be
| done and I surely thiik it is up to the
| Old Home Town to celebrate when
ie does announce hi* opening night.
There are mighty few folks anywhere
anout that have a good “boosting
spirit for the Home Town” in any
better form thafri Marion Curry—
and he has always tried to give us
(and has succeeded) the best that
was going. Whenever you take n
notion to “run over to Macon” to a
•how—just go doom to the Colonial
to a “talkie” and put the extra mon
ey in the bank “for the children ’. I
However—there is ONE thing I am
going to ask Mr. Curry to do—with
“tears in my eyes.” It may be ME
—or my eyes rather—but every time
I go in—I am so scared that I am
going to sit down on some good
friend and have them rise suddenly j
and dump me on the floor—that I am !
about to decide to take my flash j
light with me. It would be awful to 1
wake up some morning and find my
self on the front page of the state |
papers as “Woman sits in lap of 1
strange man at the picture show mis
taking him for a vacant seat—and
i, violently thrown against a chair
back—knocking out all her front
teeth. The man escaped." So I guess
you must know what it is I am go
ing to ask Mr. Curry to do. If he (
doesn’t think it best—then don’t be '
alirmed if you aee me walk in with j
ny flash light. I am a grandmother j
—and can’t afford to get on
front page.

Mrs. Beeson worked to get ull the
children «f our county (and the
state) to write essays on Bentramin
Haney Hill and when the time came
for all the states to send in their best

Mrs. Beeson had done the work for

presented this cup to her. Talking
to her about it—she said—“I jurt
wasn’t that fine? Of course, not
neraly fell off that stage”—now
her nearly falling off the stage—but
her having a cup presented to her.
Hurrah for Mrs. Beeson!

word used in connection with unveil-

church. It was a splendid idea—and
Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Ferguson are to
