Official Organ Cherokee County North Grorgia Tribune 8 A REAL NEWSPAPERS FOR NORTHIGEORGIA ( C PAGES TODAY VOL. VI. No. 43 CANTON, GEORGIA FRIDAY, OCT. 27, 1939 PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY Think o’ That By TOM ARNOLD Cotton, Jute and other fibres are taxed and tariffed but there is neither tax nor tariff nor other limitation on moral fibre. I get quite a laugh from farmer friends doing their bookkeeping and complaining about what a hard job it is. Uncle Sam has put them at it, trying to keep up with crop regulations. Used to be the farmers thought the banker and store keeper led easy lives, just keeping books. Now the farmer sits up until midnight, trying to straighten out his ac- counts for the farm. But B. A. Manous had a quick answer .The banker and store keep- er get paid for their keeping books, said Mr. Manous, while the farmer gets nothing for his. Hand the palm to Etowah Dairy. Bill and Tom and Jake are all swelled up about it. Dairy plant inspection gave Etowah a mark of 92, about the highest in the state. This mark is for building, appa- ratus, labaratory, water, and em- ployes, M. H. Simpkins was the in- specor that made the tests and gave the rating. They don't overlook anything, those inspectors. So that people here may know that when they get Etowah dairy products they are getting the best, cleanest, pur- est there is in Georgia. This snake business is getting on our nerves. Especially when our Canebrake Commentator sends us the following: OPHIDIAL FACTOGRAPHS Th movements of a Black Racer are quicker than the human eye, and they die as soon as they are killed. Between the years 1620 and 1863 Coachwhip snakes killed more run- a-way slaves than the World War. Snakes have stolen more milk from the farmers of the United States while their cows were at pasture than the Fiji Islanders. Horned Snakes have destroyed more trees than Fireflies. During the War of 1812, on the southwestern shore of Ammonoo- suc, a mammoth Chicken Snake dashed the glass door of an Elec- tric Incubator to smithereens, gul- ped down 1013 White Orpington eggs, went slithering off to a hot damp shade and hatched out 197 Ancona Baby Chicks. Chickens and snakes belong to the family of Vertebrates. A King Snake will swallow any- thing but a Democrat. Rattle Snakes will not even try to swallow a Howitzer so long as it is in action. A Pilot Snake will not let a per- son get in sight of a Rattler that has more than 49 rattles. Puff - Adders delight in extin- guishing Fox-fire. Mankind, as a whole, will not be- lieve the truth about the Bible or snakes.. Garter Snakes do not breed in Hosiery Mills.

News Lists Savings Made By Glover Georgia taxpayers were saved $536,757.80 during the last 3 months by the newly created cen tralized state purchasing depart ment, headed by Mr. O. G. Glover, of Cherokee County which all state purchases are made collectively. These savings are based on a re- port for the first three month's op- eration of the department as sub- mitted to Governor Rivers recently by O. G. Glover, supervisor. Crea tion of the purchasing department was recommended by the economy committee of the house of repre- sentatives last spring. On basis of the report, Governor Rivers complimented Glover for the efficient manner in which the de- partment is being handled. "We've been catching so much criticism for everything else," the Governor said, "it seems we ought to get a little credit for this." In his report to Governor Rivers Supervisor Glover said the depart- ment had bought merchandise and equipment for the state valued at $2,700,166.41 between July 1 and September 30. Supervisor Glover said he had spent only $27,000 in organizing the department and operating it for the first quarter, although the legislature appropriated $60,000 for the purpose. Biggest item in the departmental breakdown was $1,880,523.82 spent for the State Highway Department. The supervisor listed estimated sa- vings on these purchases at $386,- 733.84 compared with standard pri- ces. Second largest buyer was the Board of Regents, which spent $308,237.66 for the University sys- tem. Glover listed the regents' sa- vings at $66,722.72. Third on the list was the welfare department, with purchases totalling $219,441.- War Affects Christmas Toys 1N It’s not so long until Christmas, and despite the war British Santa Clauses are putting the finishing touches on toys of all sorts. Most popular of all are anti-aircraft guns, air raid shelters, army lorries and even toy barrage balloons as shown above in a London shop.

PARHAM Ernest Stone, from across the street, came rushing over in a stew yesterday trying to tell us and everybody else that he had just seen a drove, a bunch, a covy or perhaps a herd of wild geese head- ing south. And that was a good sign that winter was as near as Keithsburg. Then he said they circled a bit and dropped into his filling station where he changed their oil, cleaned their windshild and threw in a Florida road map and they took off. We asked him how a goose knew south from east and he said they followed the rob- ins. Then how do the robins know. He said they looked back and saw the geese. D. L. Rainey, of the wild life division of the State of Georgia, who is working out of Canon for a spell, called to see us yesterday. Rainey hails from down in the Go- pher country but married a Ball Ground girl, Miss Smith, and he is proud of her. North Georgians are too. Rainey told us a lot re- garding wild life and especially fish. But he advised us not to hunt or fish without a license. That the fine was not less han $25 and cost, making about $50. Then he told us of the fish catch made by Dr. Brooke and Poke Sal- it Evans one day this week. They hooked 22 pounds of base. We are in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Emma Dunagan of East Dennis, Mass. She writes in part: "Thought you might like to add this little notice to the Trib- une. Mr. Jefferson L. Dunagan, of Atlanta, Ga., and his wife, Emma Dunagan, Worcester, Mass., cele- brated their thirteenth wedding an- niversary at their home in East Dennis Oct. 20th. Thirteen years ago they had the privilege to cele- brate in College Park, Ga., with Mr. Dunagan’s brother, W. Malcom, but since then perhaps some of the relatives down there have forgot- ten the occasion, so just remind them it's nice to tell Milon, Ruth, Mrs. P. P. DuPre Pioneer Citizen Dies On Tuesday Sorrowful friends gathered Thursday afternoon at the First Methodist Church to pay final trib- ute to Mrs. P. P. DuPre who died Tuesday afternoon at the home of her son, Sidney Wade DuPre, in Huntington, Ind. She had been visiting in her son's home only a few weeks before her death. Mrs. DuPre was 76 years of age, and had lived in Canton for more than forty years. She was the former Miss Maria Garwood ,of Marietta, and the widow of the late Perry Pickney DuPre. She was widely known in all parts of the county for her welfare work and her church activities. She was a member of the First Methodist Church and for almost half a century was a teacher of one of the Bible classes of the Sun- day School. She was an ardent Bible student and was recognized by her students as an authority. Her welfare work had not been confined to Canton and her church, but wherever she found the needy she administered to them. The beautiful floral offerings and the great number of friends who were present at her final rites at- tested to the great esteem in which Mrs. DuPre was held. The Rev. R. P. Etheridge, pastor of the church conducted the fun- eral services from the Methodist Church at 2 o'clock. Mrs. W. W. Fincher, a member of Mrs. DuPre's Bible Class for many years, paid a beautiful tribute to Mrs. DuPre and what her life had meant to the town and county. Survivors include two sons, S. W., and Robert, one daughter, Mrs. Thomas Thompson, one sister, Mrs. Mary Daniel, one brother, W. F. Garwood, both of Atlanta, and two grandchildren, Thomas Thompson Jr., and Margaret Ann Thompson. Evans and Brooke In Record Catch Of Etowah Bass This is a fish story of the first water, and a string of 9 Etowah River bass that weighed 22 pounds total, and the big ones got away. Lee Evans and Dr. G. C. Brooke fished the river Tuesday afternoon and brought home the beauties, averaging just under two and a half pounds, and all of them of an even size. Concensus of opinion was it is the prettiest string of bass taken from the Etowah in several years. Ralph Hillhouse Honored Sunday The Rev. and Mrs. Wm. A. Hill- house entertained at a birthday dinner on Sunday at their home in Holly Springs, honoring their son, Ralph. Several guests attended. Eunice, Eula, Hattie and all the rest of the folks that all is well and happiness abounds in the place known as Hill Top Poultry Farm and Jeff and Emma are both well. Greetings; it would be nice to hear from some of the people down there who haven't forgotten us. I would like to subscribe for the Tribune and wish you would send me a copy with this announcement and full details of cost and mail- ing the paper to me." We don't expect to visit the fair in New York, but in case we do a friend writes us a few pointers or DONT’S. "In the last Tribune quite a lot was said about the fair at Canton, and this brings to my mind that there is a little fair going on here. I have only been out a couple of times, in fact spent yesterday the entire day out there. It is about an hour's ride by bus from where we are tied up, and if one happens to have a 250 pounder standing on your feet it gets a little monoto- nous by the time you get there. "Can't help but compare the at- tendance of Canton's fair for the week with yesterday out here. Notice your estimated attendance was 10,000 for the duration, while I happened to notice at 7:00 o'clock last night on the register out here was 356,639 for the day, so you can imagine the crowd, or twice as many people as there are in At- lanta, men, women, children and dogs. "...The first time I started out there was a little late in getting there, as you realize this is a pret- ty good size city, and I did not want to advertise the fact that I was from too far in the country, so figured the best way to get there was to follow the crowds. Started out by getting on a subway Continued on Page 8 Wonders of World Today Kept for Future Man Wage Hour Chief Col. Philip Fleming IIN us Lieut. Col.

Farmer’s Plight Told Bankers At Marietta Meet Cherokee county banks were ful- ly represented Wednesday night at the Group III meeting of the Geor- gia Bankers Association at Mari- etta where economic problems were discussed. The burden of addresses by F. M. Reeves, Cornelia, Clark Howell, publisher of the Atlanta Constitu- tion, and Judge Samuel H. Sibley of the U. S. Circuit Court of Ap- peals were concerned with solution of Georgia's economics. The addresses were weighted with concern for the plight of the farmer, pictured by the various speakers as without adequate mar- ket, without proper industrial bal- ance, and abandoning farms that no longer will make for their fam- ilies an adequate return. Attending from Canton were Wil- liam S. Elliott, G. C. Adams and Lee McCanless, Bank of Canton; N. A. Thomason, N. E. Fackler, J. H. Bagwell and H. G. Vandiviere, Etowah Bank; B. R. Jones, M. G.

What strange wonders the mov- ie, the talkie, the airplane and the radio will be to those who inhabit this earth 6,000 years hence,— Well, whatever strangeness may be, the people of that far day will be able to see it, said Dr. T. K. Peters, of Oglethorpe University, in an address to the Rotary Club of Canton on Tuesday. The mysteries of the peoples that inhabited America six thousand years ago are still mysteries, whet ted only a little by discovery of ruins of a lost civilization left here by the Mayans. But future generations will find in a sealed crypt at Oglethorpe a complete record of today's doings. There will be all the modern mech- anical devices, fool proof an au- tomatic, and there will be books, dictionaries, and sound pictures de signed to inform those who in the far future will open that vault. If the present civilization be lost and a new one spring up, the new civilization will find the link to the present 20th century complete. They may laugh at what are now called wonders or they may be a lower civilization gasping in amaz- ment at the achievements of the then earlier race of man. ‘Noble Living’ Is Sermon Topic At 1st Methodist "The Value of Noble Living" will be the sermon topic of the Rev. R. P. Etheridge, pastor of the First Methodist Church, at the 11 o'clock service on Sunday. This will be an address to the church membership as a final appeal on the subject of church loyalty. The Rev. Etheridge will speak at both morning and evening serv- ices. His subject at 7 o'clock Sun- day evening will be “Sampson, the Gospel of Another Chance".
