First District Editors And Wives
Enjoy Quarterly Meeting Os Their
Association With Journal Editor
Three months ago at their
meeting at the Scarboro Club
House on the Ogeechee River,
with the Millen News as the
host The Journal Editor and
wife went and enjoyed a delici
ous fresh water fish supper.
Later in the evening W. O. Lee,
who is a son in law of the
Journal editor was elected as
President of the Association,
and his father in law, Frank O.
Miller was elected as Vice Pres
ident. Then the two of us de
cided it would be nice to have
the next meeting in Pembroke
and the two of us would be the
host.
It was scheduled for Satur
day night, August 10th, and we
have been busy making plans
to have a successful meeting
here, one that those who at
tended would like to enjoy.
Well Saturday night when
when it happened. We got busy
got us some fine barbecue pigs
and put our old friend Harley
Surrence to preparing them for
the meal. We also had some
fryers barbecued, and with the
“fixings” that went along we
think we had a delightful meal
for our friends. At least many
of them said that we did.
Before the supper Editor
Miller had invited all the news
paper people by his home for
a social session, prior to the
supper, and about sixty or
seventy friends came and en
joyed themselves at Needmore
Farm.
We had invited our new
State President of the News
paper Association Tom Frier of
Douglas to come and meet with
us, and he did. He has been a
friend of the two of us for a
long time, a good editor, a good
man, and loyal to his church.

Basis for Clain
The United States bases its
claim to the Swan Islands on
the fact that, in 1893, Capt.
Alonzo Adams came upon them,
by chance. He planted a flag
and claimed the islands in the
name of the United States.

down sections of Savannah, he
and his lovely little wife were

Truly it turned out to be one
of the finest meetings that we
have had. There was not a
shortage of anything, and
those that participated said
that the food was delicious,
that the drinks was among the
best, and that our little social
hall on the second floor of the
fire station was a delightful
place to have an affair like
this.
An invittaion from the Sa
