MIR. Upshaw's Tribute at the
Methodist Church to Two
of Edgefeld's Sons.

Standing with uncovered head be-
fore historic Edgefeld and the ex-
ceptional plentitude of her brilliant
sons and daughters, judges, govern
ors, senators and preachers of the
everlasting gospel of God, I am glad
to find myself walking today in the
boyhood footprints of two gifted and
distinguished young Georgians,
James and John Boykin, whose abil-
ity and character have carried them
to the forefront in G%eorgia's politi-
cal and civic life.
Senator Boykin is now a whole
some leader in our higher lawmaking
body, while John Boykin has be-
come nationally known in his bril-
liant work as Solicitor General in At
lanta. Either is grandly capable of
making a good governor, and as
Georgia has a way of browning bril-
liant solicitors with gubernatorial
honors because of able and heroic
courtroom leadership, there is no
telling how soon it may be said that
rare and radiant old Edgefeld has
furnished a governor for Georgia.

great rejoicing among the young peo-

Heart dice was the entertainment,
there being nine tables. The ladies'
prize was a handsome s. made
from Arkansas clay, which Mrs. Pad
gett brought With her from her re-
cent trip to that state. These vases
are expensive and very tasteful and
Mrs. Padgett secured this one from
the place where they are wrought
near Little Rock and Hot Springs. It
became the happy possession of Miss
Pearl Padgett.
The g%entlemans' prize was a GRO
cheted tie, won by Rhae Zimmerman.
The consolation was a large stick of
candy, presented to Miss Mary Lyon.
The guest was the recipient of a
box of dainty linen and crepe de
chine handkerchiefs.
About forty guests enjoyed this
delightful occasion.
