Memories Sweet and Pleasant

Prof. Wallace Gives a Beautiful Description of His Visit to Talbotton and Talbot County

Dear Herald:

It is but proper to sometime throw a bunch of daisies, and not mud, at a neighbor when they have been the cause of a happily spent day and night.

By invitation we journeyed toward the setting sun last Friday evening to be present Saturday at Talbotton where two or three feasts were in process of materializing. Our old comrade, Will Couch, with whom we "fit", bled and lived, met us at the Talbotton terminal station and carried us out three and one half miles to his hospitable home. To say that we liked to have enjoyed ourselves to death with his numerous but most excellent family would express our thoughts but feebly. We are certainly more firmly bound to him and his by pleasant memories by which that night's friendship will ever be so pleasantly remembered. He is the father of our genial friend, W.K. Couch, who was with I.F. Peebles & Co., and whom we all learned to love while in our town.

The world would be a veritable Paradise were it peopled with such as my friend and his family.

Next morning we returned to Talbotton where practically two thousand people had assembled to join in the contests of the children of Talbot county, and everyone seemed to be happy. Talbotton did herself grand by having an abundance of barbecue and other good things to eat and drink. Long may the old county, the home of my youth be prosperous and happy.
