ELLIJAY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY DEC 10. 1914-
t o be Released
Quarantine.
A conference between county,
and federal officials who are jointly in
charge of the work of tick,
was held in Ellijay on Saturday, Dec.
5th. As a sesult of this '
arrangements are being perfected
release Gilmer county from
in March 1915; holding in
only such cattle and ranges as showed
ticks late this season.
Dr. E M. Nighbert, inspector in
charge of the work of tick eradication
on behalf of the federal government, as
well as Dr. Bahnsen, State Vetrinarian
were highly gratified with the service
rendered by Dr. R. W. Jones and the
cattle inspectors under his supervision,
8 weH tB the f P ,endid cooperation
given by ttw people of GiJmer CoUnty
Very few coanties have done more
effective work in tick eradication
than Gilmer county during the past sea¬
son.
Of course. Dr. Bahnsen explained
friction is almost sure to occur in any
work where, ft» order to get results,
stringent rule* must be enforced.
Such ripples of disagreement are t* be
regretted but they will occur in the
work.
The people of Gilmer couirty are to be
congratulated on the splendid showing
they have made in this work.
Commenting on the work Dr. Tanker
sly said; “This is the first season 1
not heard of any cattle dying in
section of thj county. I believe
this work is worth much to the cattle
industry of Gilmer county.
The people of Gilmer are urged to
protest themselves against reinfestation
as a result of illegal movement of cattle
from the tick infested and quarantined
counties.
Box Supper.
There will be a box supper at

A Hearty Welcome.
On our arrival at Ellijay last
nesday evening, we were given a hear
ty welcome. We were met at the
station by Bros. Holden andj Watkins
who carried us out to the Parsonage in
their car. There we were met by fifty
or more of the ladies and men of the
Baptist and Methodist churches, of
Ellijay. A good supper was prepared
and waiting for us which we enjoyed
immensely. Immediately after we
finished supper we were invited into
the parlor where we received a welcome
address by Dr. Watkins, which made
us feel perfectly at home and glad to
be with such good generous hearted
people as Ellijay has. But this was
not all. The ladies then invjted us into
the dining room where they served de¬
licious refreshments. Then we
shown % table laden with packages of 1
every size and description, about 74 in ]
number, containing everything nice to
eat as well as a number of other arti¬
cles. It was perfectly grand to look
upon to see what the good people had
provided for us. Surely, no minister
aad family Is the North Ga. Conf. re¬
ceived a greater reception than did we.
Weweremadeto feel very good and with
thankful hearts, wish to thank each and
every one for their kindness and warn)
welcome which greeted us. We are
detighted'with the Parsonage, town,
and most especially the good people of
Ellijay. May God bless us in our work
for the Master for this year in the
charge. Your pastor and wife.

A Novel Road Proposition
On the train last week enroute
to Atlanta we had an interview
with Dr. J. S. Darnell, a promi¬
nent Physician and farmer of
Talking Rock. The Doctor has
given considerable thought to
the road subject and has come to
the conclusion that the road
problem will never be solved sat¬
isfactory under our present sys
tem. He takes the position that
these mountain counties are too
poor to ever build and maintain
a good system of pubJi
feay taxation and he sl
in a new fotfo
compel every lana!
build a standard road through
his own land. His idea is that
where a p'tblic road runs through
a man’s band that he could afford
to build a good road, as it would
be the best investment he could
make, in that it would enhance
the .value of his holdings. In
this way he argues that the bur¬
den of roads would fall on thqse
able to bear it. A small special
tax would also have to be levied
to build and keep up bridges.
Wefeive the Doctors idea for
what it is worth, and our law
makers can take it under ad
visement -
From this date we will give
dish tickets for all cash received
on accounts till Christmas
Don’t forget that we give a
way a 42 piece dinner set every
