Mrs. Brown Gives Account
of Trip to Camp Wilkins.
Dear Mr. Gress: Will you allow
me space in your paper to tell
the ladies of Wheeler county
about my trip to Camp Wilkins?
I would like to see Wheeler coun
ty well represented up there next
year, and I’m sure lots of the la
dies will go, if I tell them what a
wonderful trip I had.
Miss Godbee and I left Alamo
about ten o’clock, stopped in
Wrightsville two hours. We ar
rived at Camp Wilkins about live
o'clock. We registered, cleaned
up a bit and were ready for sup
per. After supper we were wel
comed by Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, and Mrs.
Jennie Belle Myers, social direc
tor, Georgia State College of Ag
riculture. I assure you all it was
a real welcome, too. Then the
home demonstration agents from
each county stood up, with their
ladies and were introduced to
everybody else. Then to bed at
ten o’clock.

We want Wheeler county to

next year. We must urge our
menfolks to give us a full time
home demonstration agent. We
are doing just half as much work

agent. We want to organize a
home demonstration council.

REQUESTS BURIAL IN
OLD HOME CEMETERY
Dr. W. A. Rivers, of Glenwood,
received the following letter
from S. L. Fulford, which he re
quested that he have published,
the letter follows:
Milledgeville, Ga.,
June 23, 1930
I want this letter printed in
the Wheeler County Eagle. I
own some land in the cemetery
at Glenwood, which I desire to
sell. It lies between lots of Dr.
W. A. Rivers, W, C. Browning, J.
W. Morrison.
I want toplace enough of the
proceeds with the Masonic Lodge
No. 479, at Glenwood, to pay
for a trip to the State Farm, if it
should be God’s will for me to
die here, and take my body back
to the cemetery in Glenwood and
lay my body on the right side of
my wife, Mrs. Julia L. Fulford,
which I have reserved.
The State will furnish a box
for me. I care nothing about the
clothes I wear. Just what the
State gives me is what I want to
be buried in. I have always been
a man to prepare ahead. My
children may be dead before I
die and they may not have the
money at the time.
I want $50.00 for the strip of
land mentioned above. I want to
leave half of this amount with the
Masonic Lodge at Glenwood with
which to send for my body. This
is the only order I ever joined in
my life. I love the order.
Worshipful master, take this
matter up in your lodge and let
& hear from you. If I die up
here or in a foreign country the
lodge would not owe me any
thing. The money in the treasury
would belong to the lodge. Hope
this will be satisfactory with the
lodge.
Dr. Rivers you may think this
a foolish idea of mine, but I know
what I want to fix while I live. 1
want to spend the rest of my
time in Wheeler county camp.
Your friend,
S. L. FULFORD.
P. S. lam feeling fine. Can
walk. I just want to be ready
when the hour comes.

her guest Sunday, Mr. Manning

Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Mitchell and

The people seem to have for

teachers, officers and superin

The young people of the B. Y.

Eeats in Country Homes.
Just this past week I had an
, occasion to go to see a friend in
the country,on business. I reach
ed the point of destination about
the time the clock on the mantel
। went on a strike for twelve. No
sooner had I seated myself on
■ the front, porch, when the lady
। of the household announced, “we
, are just about ready for dinner,
and as it is set on the' table, we
will postpone business matters
■ long enough to eat if you think
■ you can put up with the way
poor folks feed.” I told the lady
I had never seen a time in my
i life when I wasn’t hungry, and
that it would be very agreeable
for us to postpone business for
pleasure of this kind, and I would
show as best I can, just how a
hungry man felt.
This much said, an invitation
to dine was accepted, and a seat
was given me at the head of the
• table, which was loaded
with an abundance of well pre
pared and substantial food. Not
being used to “square meals” I
ate very heartily of this dinner,
and to my utter amazement and
astonishment, found out later
that it precisely agreed with me
in every detail.
But what I started out to say
is this; I do not understand just
how so many good things to eat
were prepared so easily and
for an ordinary dinner hour in
the country, because company
1 was not expected. While at the
dinner table I found that the en
tire family was so much inter
ested in the problems of life, and
discussed with a high degree of
intelligence “home economics”
in a manner that makes life more
enjoyable away out in the“sticks”
Everything in farm life was
discussed by the family from the
growing of vegetables and farm
products through to canning,
preserving and preparation of
the various garden truck for
relishing dishes for use on the
table at all seasons of the year.
The tomato was discussed and
the many ways in which this
fruit or vegetable, whichever it
Jack Gross Injured
When Hit by Auto.
Thomasville, Ga.. July 1. —Jack
Gross, brother of W. H. Gross,
business manager of the Thom
asville Press, was knocked down
by a hit-and-run driver at a point
near the American Legian home
on North Broad street Sunday
evening shortly after nine o’clock
He was notseriously injured, but
is painfully bruised about the
head and body and was temopo
rarily unconscious after the car
hit him.
Gross was walking toward.the
city on the right side of the road,
just off the pavement and the car
was going in the same d : rection.
In some manner it ran him down,
knocked him up in the air and
broke the windshield of the car.
The driver of the car never stop
ped or slowed down to learn the
extent of the injury to the man
very busy this week getting the
tobacco in the barns.

i may be, can be prepared and
i kept for food, making all other
■ edibles more relislfed. Thetoma
t to and the many varieties of to
-1 matoes which this family told me
j about the various differences in
i growth, variety and acidity,
j showing that this family, away
j out in the country, are at least
, prepared to live. This study of
j the tomato plant, along with all
s the rest of the plants on the farm
t caused me to see farm life as I
r had never seen it before.
■ After the meal was served we
i sat again on the front porch,
1 where we viewed in its perfect
j beauty the flower garden. Near
• ly all the varities of pot and yard
I flowers grown were there in most
i perfect growth and shapely
forms. Os course our conversa
i tion drifted into horticulture,
b where this family were as apt as
■ in other matters of plant life
I about their home.
I finally inquired if you people
; out here have a college some
where around here, where you
, learned so much about “Home
Economics,” and farm life in
■ general?
s They smiled and endured the
suggestion by stating that our
Home Economics teacher, Miss
, Godbee, had been to see them
. and helped them for days and
taught them how to do all these
। things, and we have enjoyed
' her visits to our home. They told
> us how several ladies of the com
munity had met at this home and
all worked together studying the
i farm and its varied problems of
life along home economics line.
When I understood all this
: marked intelligence among our
people and the causes and where
fores of it all, my hat was off then
and is off now, and will continue
to be doffed to Miss Economic
Godbee, and the forces that keep
her in our midst doing the work
she is accomplishing for our
country homes, and making life
worthwhile among our country
people.

his car had just hit, but went hia
way all the faster.
Mayor D. Roy Hay happened to
pass just after the accident, but
in the excitement did not notice
the car closely. He was of the
opinion that it was a model T
Ford with the curtains up.
When he learned that Gross was
not seriously hurt he immediate
ly instituted a search for the car
but was unsuccessful,
Gross was given medical and
surgical attention as soon aspos*
sible.
