Oldest Report Card In Region
Harrison McCoury reported
to the writer that he probably
has the oldest school grade card
of anybody in this lower end of
Mitchell County. The grade card
was wrote out on tablet paper
by teacher Maloye Griffith and

term of 1919 and Griffith as
sistant teacher was Miss Myra
Webb now Mrs. Javine Hughes
and the school building stood
about where Charlie Whitson
barn is at on Raccoon Branch at
Tipton Hill.
McCoury said the first dollar
that he ever earned was build
ing fires at this same school
house when he was about 10
years old and Garfa Griffith
was his teacher. He said that
him and Frank .Tones who is
now Mitchell County-County
Accountant was accounted among
the best spellers in school and
they had to split between them
one dollar in prize money when
they tied in a spelling match.
He said the boys sawed wood
with a cross cut saw and split
it with an axe and done this
work free after someone haul
ed the wood to the school house
and the wood was burned in
an Ironside stove and the chil
dren would all set around the
stove during the cold weather
time. He said there was about
45 or 50 children who attend
ed the one room school build
ing during the years of 1918
and 1919.
It is reported that the el
ectric lights was extended last
Friday to the home of Wil
liam Honeycutt of Mitchell

merchant of Pigeon Roost area
reported that he has shot and
Killed only 15 snakes this sum
mer in Pigeon Roose area.

so many he has the snakes
thinned down considerably. He
hunts for the snakes along the
Pigeon Roost Creek and never
travels over a mile away from
home up or down the creek
bank looking for the snakes
to shoot. If Barnett has only
killed 15 snakes so far this
summer he probably holds the
title as champion snake killer
which he has been for sev
eral years.
