That goat was mean. Seventy years ago - on Christmas Eve 1940 - this newspaper, then called the Bulloch Herald, held a prize drawing for children. In league with Homer C. Parker, who was Georgia's state comptroller general at the time, the Herald awarded a goat, wagon and harness to a boy who could register in advance but had to be present to win.
