THE MOUNTAINS
(By Fred Eller
(Concluded.
Leisurely we go up the valley in
the direction nf the great Chimney
Kock. which is in the distant range
just ahead. We stop many tipies to
view the pleasant scenery that be
decks the sides of the great ltioun
la ns that are on all sides. Just over
there in the big woods we 6an see all
colors of the rainbow in the leaves
that have begun to put on their wint
er mats We know that beneath the
stately trees that the berries of the
Ginseng has begun to turn red, the
Lady slipper has just put on her
seed pods and is now ready to begin
to scatter her seed amidst the trees
in the wood:
In our we can see the
creatures of fall as they venture out
to find a morsal to eat. In the big
motinia'n not far distant is the plea
sant valley known as “Sugar Coce”
N. C. It is here that the wild turkeys
the pheasant, the mountain boomer,
ground hog and many other animals
of the woods find a pleasant haunt
to roam In. Just as we get absorbed
in beholding this beautiful piece of
scenery, our ears are caught away by
the gay whistles of someone over on
the bank of the Tallelulah river that
flows some distance to our left, on
looking we see a lad emerge from the
brush on the bank of the river with
his hook and pole in one hand and a
nice string of mountain trout in the
other. Oh. My, He is the very picture
of the “Barefoot Boy” with his over
alls legs rolled to his knees, one of
his shirt sldeves is torn and swings
down almost to his shoulder. We are
chilley but he don’t seem to notice
the brisk air.
After gazing into thede beauty spots
and wishing , that the days of youth
could return and place us amidst these
hills again with all their sports, all
their freedom, all their pleasures and
repeating to ourselves the poem
“Backward, turn backward Oh time
in your flight, and make me a child
again just for tonight”, but whats
the use we must pass on. Up the
narrow valley we proceed, looking at
every familiar scene that pass, call
ing hack to memory pleasant happen
ings of the past. Here still lies the
old log that was once such a haven of
rest for us when we use to pass here
with our lady friend and stop for a
chat under the cool shades of these
trees. But we must restrain from
going too deep into details of the hap
py past. We notice and’that the sun
is nearing the top of that great moun
tain in the west. On account of the
height of this mountain it will be
sometime before dark, but we hurry
on, we are anxious to see some more
of our old friends.
We turn a sudden curve in the nar
row road, and Oh my our tired hearts
leap at the sight of the house yonder
on the hill. It is the home of Uncle
Jim and Aunt Mary. It wont be long
now Aftei 4 a few rods travel we cross
a little stream trickeling across the
road. Right beside the stream is a
dim path that leads up the steep hill
to Uncle Jim's house. Up the path
we take. We climb for a few rod”
and come to the edge of the yard.
Uncle Jim and Aunt Mary are on the
lower porch to welcome us as we ap
proach. After a real hearty welcome
and a good hand shake, we take chair
and feels like we were at home Aunt
Mary goes for some fresh water, for
she knows that we love this good
mountain spring water.
Aunt Mary now goes to the kitchen
and Gee how good the odor from the
kitchen smells. After a bit Aunty calls
supper. We follow Uncle Jim through
the big house across the porch and
into the kitchen and sat down to one
of the best meals that ever man was
introduced to. The mear consisted
of wild turkey, gromrdTrog, boomer,
squirrel, ‘coon or what ever Uncle
has been lucky at during the day.
After we have eaten enough for two
or three men of our size we are for
ced for lack of room to put any more
to close out. We retire to the front
room of the big house and find a seat
near the fire for the evenings are get
ting cool. Soon Aunt Mary joins us
and after listening to many of Uncle
Jims tales of hunting, fishing, cutting
bee trees, and the many other things
that are so interesting to us, we hear
some whispering of bed time. We are
reluctant to go. we rather hear these
good stories of the past, hut it is get
ting late and we must retire. We are
carried to a real nice room and we
lay down for another good nights
rest in the mountains.

ANSWERS TO 6UNDA YSCHOOL
QUIZ FOR JANUARY
1— He was the son of Mary, the sis
ter of Barnabas. An associate of the
apostles, notably Peter. Thus asso
ciated, and probably an eye-witness,
he had good opportunity of knowing
the truth about Jesus. Acts 12: 12:
Col. 4. 10; Pet. 5: :15.
2—Repentance and faith; and an out
ward act for making a public profes
sion, pledging anew life. The heart
and content of the gospel, the death,
burial and resurrection of the Lord
Jesus, Is contained In the act of bapt
ism. Mk. 1: 3-8; Rom. 6: 10.
3 Repentance is a deep change of
mind arid purpose respecting sin, as
well as sorrow for it.
4 Repentance and faith or belief.
Mk. 1: 15.
s.—He taught doctrine; (2) and with
authority. Mk. 1: 22.
6 They are Satan’s emissaries,
sometimes called his angels; are cap
able of entering and controlling both
man and beast, and powerless for evil
unless thus embodied. They are un
clean, sullen, violent, malicious. Know
Jesus as the divine Son of God, be
cause both they and their prince have
arrayed themselves against God or
all that is of God. Mt. 12: 26, 77; 25:
41; Acts 19: 15; Mt. 8: 31, 32; James
2: 19.
7 By Herod. Because of rebuke for
waywardness of his life. Lk. 3: 29, 30.
B._Jesus’ presence cannot be left a
secret. In the home or in a human
heart it will be “noised abroad.” He
is the inevitable Christ and cannot be
hid. Mk. 2: 1.
9 From the beginning to the end,
the sabbath was for the sake of man!
and at no time had any other purpose
but to serve man and bring him to
his best. It is man’s servant; he is
not its slave. And when it does not
serve man, it is grossly perverted. Mk.
2:7.
10 A denying of one’s self, taking up
the cross daily and following Jesus.
Lk. 9; 28.

YOUR BANK AND MINE
1. The Bank and the Community
By Gordon Lewis
The extent to which the banker is
an intimate part of the life of his com
munity was vividly set forth by a
country banker recently. “The count
ry banker,” he said, “is the custodian
of the family documents and often
of their secrets. He must keep infor
med of the market trend of hogs,
chickens, cotton, vegetables and other
products of the soil. If there is a ]
change in freight rates, he should
know what net effect it will have on
the residents of his community. He
should know how much pbr acre one
should pay. and how much one can
safely expend in money and labor on
a given farm with fair promise of re
turn. He ought to know when crops
should be planted and harvested. He
must know that the foot-and-mouth
disease or bollweevil can attack his
bank just as relentlessly as it can a
cow or cotton, and he is usually one
of the first to subscribe funds in any
community emergency.
Furniture.
Believing there are some people in Cumming and
vicinity who would like to buy, sell or exchange
Furniture, I have opened what will be known as
The Furniture Exchange in the John Phillips old
Undertaking Place on Dahlonega Street.
If you have furniture which you would like to sell,
I will be glad to hear from you, or if you care to
exchange some of your furniture for other furni
ture, I will be glad to have you call on me, or if
you wish to purchase additional furniture will be
glad to show you what I have.
Edwin C. Otwell.
These things are expected of the
country banker because as the Clear
ing House or medium through which
most of the community’s income is
received and its expenditures spent,
he has the advantages of being in in
timate contact with the whole econo
mic scheme of things. He knows that
people are largely independent,
that one who has money to loan can
not (profit thereby unless someone
else can use that money in actual pro-,
duction, whether it be by production
of a crop, manufactured goods or a
house. Since the bank is the logical
place for idle funds, the lender goes
there to deposit, for the same reason
that the borrower goes here to borrow
The banker sees to it, through dis
cretion in his loans, that funds find
productive employment, reacting to
the benefit of the borrower, of the
lender, of himself and the community
as a whole.”
anything they ever expected
