Boy shines shoes to repay debt and becomes adoptive son
At Grand Central Depot a nine year old boy named Shine asks for work and earns a silver half dollar. Years later a generous gentleman, Mr Merritt, thanks the brave youth for honesty, adopts him in Columbus Mississippi, and the boy, Paul Fay, grows into an upright Atlanta citizen after a New York marriage. The tale frames lessons of integrity and benevolence amid local farm notes and agricultural updates from Georgia towns.
