FAMED RESORT BURNS
NEAR GAINESVILLE
Gainesville, Ga., Jan. 23.—The
White Sulphur Springs Hotel near
here, one of Georgia’s most widely
known hostelries, was destroyed by
fire Sunday, but the Gainesville fire
department, called by a caretaker,
saved fourteen nearby cottages.
The hotel was built in 1879 by
Ferdinand Phinizy and was the prop
erty of the estate of Colonel J. W.
Oglesby, of Quitman. Many famous
Georgians had guests at the resort.
ROOSEVELT INVITED TO
ADDRESS LEGISLATURE
AND LAY CORNER STONE
President-elect Franklin D. Roose
velt was invited to lay a corner stone
of Atlanta’s new federal building and
address the Georgia Legislature on
any day next week that suits his con
venience, in concurrent resolutions
adopted by the state senate and house
of representatives Monday.
The presiding officers of the two
houses were authorized to appoint a
joint committee to visit the Little
White House at Warm Springs and
extend the invitation personally.
Roosevelt return? 1 to h's Georgia
home this week for a round of con
ferences and a brief rest. It was later
announced by M. H. Maclntyre, a
member of the Roosevelt secretarial
staff, that Roosevelt would be unable
to accept this invitation. “Mr. Roose
velt is very appreciative of the invi
tation of the Georgia legislature,”
said the secretary, “however it will
be impossible for him to accept any
invitations during his stay in Geor
gia. He came here for and must have
a rest.”
GEORGIA FARM BUREAU
WOULD BE ABOLISHED
In one of the busiest days of this
session, the house of representatives
Monday received a bill which would
abolish the fifty-nine-year-old Depart
ment of Agriculture passed several
local bills and general resolutions and
postponed the $3 auto tag tax bill.
The agriulcture bill thrust into the
house hopper would do away with
the department which received an ap
propriation of $300,000 last year,
$75,000 of which went to the state
veterinarian. His office also would
be taken away under the bill’s terms.
The agriculture department was
founded in 1874. All the duties of the
department would be transferred to
the College of Agriculture at Athens,
and to the department of Public
Health. The bill would be effective
within thirty days after it is approved.

FIGHT OVER ROUTING
FOR HIGHWAY NO. 9
Difference between residents of old
Milton County over the proposed re
routing of Route 9, a federal aid high
way, that is soon to be surfaced with
asphalt, will be aired before a special
session of the County Board of Com
missioners Tuesday afternoon, accord
ing to George F. Longino, chairman.
The Mayor and Council of Alphar
etta, he said, have refused to grant
a right-of-way through the city un
less the highway follows the old route.
Other citizens, however, are seeking
to have the paved highway routed
through another section of the city
and to have the county obtain the
necessary right-of-way through con
demnation proceedings. The Recon
struction Finance Corporation has ap
propriated $30,000 for the paving
work over a nine-mile section extend
ing from the city limits of Roswell
to the north end of old Milton. Com
missioner Walter C. Hendrix, chair
man of the Board of Public Works,
said the actual work is ready to start
as soon as the residents affected can
settle their differences.

KNOWLEDGE
IS VALUABLE
Many people do not know how to use the com
plete services of a bank, A certain amount of
knowledge of banking principles and functions is
necessary to the education of every business man
or woman.
That is one of the reasons why we are not sat
isfied merely to have people depositing their mon
ey in the bank. We want to know our customers
personally. We want them to feel perfectly tree
to discuss matters confidentially with us.
That personal acquaintance may become very
valuable—that knowledge of the intimate aims and
objectives of the customer may place us in a posi
tion to help, when help is needed.
By all means, let us get better acquainted!
