The Apple Growers
Convention at Cornelia
The North Georgia Apple Grow
ers Convention met at Cornelia last
Saturday and to say that the dele
gates and general public were
royally entertained it is stating it
mildly. The speeches were made
by men who knew what they were
talking aliout and were therefore
very interesting and instructive.
C. J. Haden, of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, who truth
fully stated that his business was
“introducing Georgia to Geor
gians,” introduced the speakers,
with short catchy speeches, which
proved that he was past grand
master as an introducer.
Among the distinguished gentle
men who addressed the convention
were: Gov. J. M. Hlaton, Commis
sioner of Agriculture J. I). Price,
Prof. A. M. Houle, L. B. Magid,
It. C. Berkmans and others.
North Georgia, and Habersham
county, especially, is one of the
best, il not the ltest, section in the
world for growing apples and it
will soon come into its own and
the industry be developed to such
an extent that it will t>e the pride
of Georgia.
A committee was appointed to
invite the National Apple Growers
Convention to meet in Georgia in
1916; a committee was also ap
pointed to take up the matter of a
lower express rate on vegetables
and fruits shipped to South Geor
gia, the present rate being almost
prohibitary. Other matters of im
portance that came before the con -
veution were also attended to.
Last, but not least, was the ele
gant luncheon served by the ladies
of Cornelia, which consisted of
boiled tongue, ham, salad, coffee,
etc., which was enjoyed by over
three hundred people.
Cornelia is an enterprising little
city; as the apple industry grows,
so grows Cornelia, and her citizens
aie wide awake to the good time
that are soon coining to her, and
ghe deserves something good.
JUST 7 STORE DAYS TILL EASTER
A Narrow Escape
For Gobers Home
Last Monday night Bob Gober
was awakened by an unusual noise,
and going into his kitchen dis
covered his house on fire, but the
blaze was yet small and easily ex
tinguished. The fire was of un
usual origin having been caused by
spontaneous combustion. A cake
of toilet soap and a can of Karo
syrup were on a shelf about three
inches apart, and there is where
the fire originated. The soap was
about half burned up and the fire
flying from the soap to the can.
Mr Gober says that no fire nor
matches had been near the shelf,
and that either the soap or syrup
or both caused the fire which came
near destroying hif home. Many
fires are caused from spontaneous
combustion that are charged up to
rats and matches.
A Card From Mr. Acree
Mr. Editor: Will you please al
low' me space in your paper to
reply to some rumors that are be
ing circulated about my eanidacy.
One is that I am not going before
the people in the coming primary.
That is not true. The other is
that I am down; and I will say to
my friends, and those that are not
my friends alike, that I will not be
down until the last vote is counted,
and the results made known on
April 24th, 1914.
Respectfully,
W. L. ACREE.

Henderson to Remain on
Board of Education
On the last day that the grand
juiy was in session it was reported
to the body that there was another
vacancy ( n I lie board of education
cased by the removal of A. W.
Henderson into Maysville, Mays
ville having a local school system
and receiving its pro rata of the
public school funds direct from the
state, and not through the county
board of education.
The law prohibits the election of
a member of a county board of
education from a city or town that
does so receive its funds, but this
is not true of Maysville, the funds
going through the board of edu
cation of the county, therefore Mr.
Henderson is eligible, not disquli
fied, and will continue to serve on
the board of education.

Use Bellows to Skin Goats.
Great quantities of Mocha goatskin*
are imported from Aden, on the Gul!
of Aden, into this country, many skin*
coming from Africa. The Abyssinian*
and Somalis are considered the mosl
expert in skinning goats. The former
rarely permits his knife to touch the
animal after killing and during the
skinning process, and by the means oi
a bellows removes the skin in an ex
cellent condition. Somali women are
also very adept in this art and exer

In setting up the grand jury
presentments the printer made a
mistake and put “.I. L. Ledford”

been J. L. Telford. The present

tieed the mistake, hence this cor
rection .
There will be a Moot Court or
Mock Trial held at the School Au
ditorium Saturday night the 4th,
of April, which will be conducted
by the five lawyers in Homer; A.
J. Griffin, Oscar Brown, J. B. G.

Everybody is invited, as it will be
conducted just like a trial in the
Superior Court before Judge
Brand.
Mr. Will Blackwell left Monday
for Baltimore and New York where
he will spend some time buying
goods for the large general stor c
of Blackwell Bros., of Maysville.
Mr. Blackwell has had many years
experience in the mercantile busi
ness and understands whereto buy
and what to buy. These goods
will reach Maysville in about two
weeks, and if you want something
first class at very reasonable prices,
you can find it at this store in
Maysville.

All school trustees are hereby
notified to have an election of one

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
SKEDADDLERS FROM NEW
ENGLAND.
By A. W. Y.
The war of 1812 between tho
United States and Great Britain
was very unpopular in New Eng
land. So serious was the oppo
sition that for a time It threat
ened to break up the Union.
There were several reasons for
this- *n the first place, the New
Englanders were still chafing
over the defeat of John Adams
for a second term of tho presi
dency, in 1800. Then they did
not approve of the Louisiana
purchase, which meant the addi
tlon of more slave territory to
the United States. And finally,
they were bitter against the Em
bargo Act, which interfered
greatly with their shipping in
terests. Tho national govern
ment pad to resort to conscrip
tion to fill the quotas of soldiers
required of the New England
States. This was very distaste
ful to the citizens, and to escape
tho draft hundreds of them
slipped across the lino into
Canada. A large percentage of
these never returned. Many of
the present inhabitants of the
region lying south of the St.
Lawrenos and between the Chau
dlere and Flichelleu rivers are
descendants of those New Eng
land skedaddlers from tho draft.

“PLAIN WATER AND A
BRUSH” FOR TEETJ-L
Recently I called attention to
the Injurious character of many
tooth powders, on account of
the fact that they contain crys
tal* of lima that gradually
•cour the enamel from the
teeth. Now Dr. C. N. Johnson,
dentist, of Chicago, aaya that
"Plain water and a brush are
all that Is necessary for the
proper care of the teeth. The
average person uses a tooth
brush too much and rubs off the
enamel from the teeth.” The
particles of food always remain
ing in the teeth after a meal
should be removed, and the best
way to do this Is to use a sun
pie antiseptic mouth wash with
a tooth brush and water.
