GEORGIA LETTER
Just a few lines to the Overton County News.
When I receive your paper it brings to my mind many friends in Overton county, as I think there is no place like it.
I left Livingston in the latter part of December, 1921 and landed in Newnan. Ga., where I have been practically two months. Was accompanied by my wife and friend, V. H. Little.
Little and myself are taking a course in telegraphy, getting along fine for the time we have been here. Expect to stay here one more month, then will proceed back to Tennessee for further extension of our course.
Well, I don’t fancy this state or winter resorts, rains one day, clear and cool the next. Weather changes nearly every twenty-four hours, sure is disagreeable. Land is poor here, produces but little cotton, don’t see how the farmers live. Practically all the farmers are “darkies” and are fond of such unprogressive soil. Just so this live, I suppose.
Sure have roads here throughout the state. This state is noted for “darkies. Two-thirds of the people are of that race.
Have the poorest stock here I ever saw.
I was at a K. K. K. parade last Thursday night. They are about 1,800 strong in this burg.
If a man commits a crime they line up and pay him a visit and carry their buggy switches along and give him or her, whichever it may be, until they think their time has come. So I am a good boy while I stay here.
Hope the L. A. school is carrying on their work fine, also glad my home citizens are interested enough to have a winter school there. Hope they will have school nine months out of the year.
Guess I have told all I know about “Dixie” at present, so will close, extending my best wishes to the people of Overton county and trust the New year which has started will bring prosperity and happiness to all.
Mr. And Mrs. Dewey Cole
Newnan, Ga.
