Maury County can be traced back to
the Indians that formerly lived where
we now make our homes. The In
dams were accustomed to giving q
corn dance in the fall of every year.
Why should we not make this a real
corn festival by bringing back this
ancient custom of the early corn
growing days? l can conceive of
nothing that would add more to the
success of the festival"
