Dear Sirs, I do not know what changes you are contemplating making in the ensuing school year, but if you are going to elect a new Superintendent or other teacher, I would be glad to have you consider my application. I could furnish you recommendations upon request, but I'd much rather you would write concerning me to my Board of Trustees who are Messrs. N.L. DuPant, Chm., L.B. McFadden, Sec., and L.B. Gillespiie. There are people in your city whom I know and with whom I would like to be. They are not relatives of mine, but are excellent friends. My entire educate experience of six years has been largely in a special way with boys. I love all children and more especially those of school age. Boy Scouting has been always one of my hobbies and work that helps to build communities is especially interesting to me. Hoping to hear from you soon Yours Very Truly E.M. Wharton Sup't.

Linda: I only worked there two summers… in 1964 & 1965. TC Project: What did you work on? Linda: I did everything but set-typing; that kind of thing. I wrote weddings. I laid out ads. … TC Project: So did you actually work the printing press yourself? Linda: No. Jere Jordan worked the printing press. And F.M. Tison worked the linotype machine. But it was a hot type. He set all the type except for some of the ad type and some of the headlines; some of the big headlines and ad type were set by hand. Some of it was old wooden type and there is no telling how old it was… Most of what I did was society stuff. The news back then was so-and-so visited so-and-so. People called this info in. There were a couple of ladies out in the county that called each week; like a lady in the Amboy community, she would call; the Rebecca community, she would call and tell us so-and-so visited Cordele. So-and-so visited their relative or whatever. That was news! That is mainly what I was in charge of on the paper. But Mrs. Nora always had a weather report listed on the front page. TC Project: What was your favorite part about working at the Wiregrass? Mrs. Nora Lawrence? Linda: I enjoyed the experience. I was in “J” [journalism] school at the time and so the experience that I got as far as writing was good. But Mrs. Nora was such a character. And of course, Austin [Saxon] was there too and I had known him forever. He started in the 1950s until 1994. He was so good and no one could ever figure out why he stayed here.
