Dr. B.P. Short, of Newton and Messrs. W.S. and L.F. Short, of Shellman, together with Mr. H.S. Short, of Brantley, and Hon. W.B. Short and Mr. J.B. Short, of Buena Vista all met at the home of their father, Rev. W.J. Short, near Brantley. It was the first time all six brothers had met together at the old home place in 18 years, and was a day of happy reunion that will ever be remembered by them. These gentlemen have all been quite successful in their business and professional careers and their homecoming was a delight to their venerable father, who, like the mother of the Gracchi when shown a beautiful casket full of jewels by a haughty Roman lady, pointed to her distinguished sons and modestly said, “these are my jewels,” doubtlessly felt that his six noble sons are more to be prized than all the diadems of the earth.
