The Atlanta Constitution September 5, 1915
All Georgia congratulates Miss Marguerite Durrett, of Cordele, on being awarded 
the Alice Bristol scholarship of the Bristol school in Washington, D. C.  This 
scholarship, which is from one of the foremost schools in our nation's capital, 
is given each year through the national D. A. R. an dis a splendid prize, being 
valued at $1,000.

It is indeed a very great honor to have scored highest in the competition 
between all the states of the union, and Miss Durrett's friends, and especially 
Fort Early chapter D. A. R., of Cordele, through which her application was 
sent, are delighted over her success, and are anticipating the excellent work 
which they know their applicant to be capable of.

Miss Durrett is descended from a long line of ancestors who were active in 
throwing off the British yoke, she being descended on her mother's side from 
James Frazier II, of Scotland, who came over in time to participate in the war 
of the revolution.

Miss Durrett was graduated from Cordele High school with first honor in 1913, 
after which she spent two years at Shorter college, where she gave her junior 
recital in piano in April this year.  She appreciates very deeply the interest 
of her D. A. R. friends in this scholarship contest, and wishes to thank 
teachers and friends for their indorsements, and also values most highly Miss 
Bristol's approval of her application.

Mrs. Max Land, 
Regent Fort Early Chapter, D. A. R. Cordele, Ga.
