THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1921. A Citizen of Barrow. On last Thursday, the writer had the pleasure of riding out three miles as the crow flies, or three and a half by ‘ifidway to the home of Wiley H. Gross. His father was Hutchins Cross of Walton county. The mother was Jane Whidley, a daughter of Asa Whidley. Silas Cross was the grandfather and Nimrod Cross an uncle of Wyley Cross. Nimrod Cross lives at High Shoals. He has a pretty home and is leading the life of one content with his envi ronments. Indiana E. Cross married W. H. Hays, Sr., She is an aunt of Wyley Cross. When the writer first knew Wyley Cross he lived near County Line school house. He had married Ida Doster and bought a few acres of land joining the John Wall farm. In after years he bought this old home and lived at this place for 18 years. In 1901 he purchased his present farm and has built until he has as pretty a home as you will find anywhere in the rural sections. In fact. I know of no home in Barrow county as complete. It is close to school, church and market; po hills, one can trot or gallop or drive car in high right into Winder. We strolled over his farm and found crops in fine condition, timbered lands sufficient pastures, well watered and fenced. Strolling back, we noticed shade trees planted by Mr. Cross in pretty rows proper distances from the buildings. A prettier grove you will not find often. If you will notice on approaching the premises from any direction, you can see that there was a system and fore thought displayed in the erection of each building. Each building stands in line wit*, or at right angles to the others. Standing on the northwest of his pretty home and looking east you \ see his garage, wagon and buggy shel ters barn, shop, tool house and potato house, all in Idle and well built and painted. In this tool house 1 found an iron beam plow stock made 40 years ago by James Williams. 1 found a doubled footed plowstock made 35 years ago, an old frow made by Inge Martin many years ago and bought by Wyley Cross from Z. B. Williams. In one of these shops we found timbers that were sawed very likely over a hundred years ago. They were sawed by a sash saw. vMr. Cross moved them from the old John Wall farm. I noticed studding in his stables were pine poles barked. Mr. < ios> said stock could not bite them as is often the case with other materials. Mr. Cross believes in economy. He buys in quantities. His flour in sacks of 50 pounds is hung in liis smokehouse to air and to keep them from the rats and mice. He has a pretty orchard of various fruits. The home is well kept. Many Winder women would do well to go to this home and get a lesson in house keeping. Not a drop of waste water flows from well or house. It is car ried many yards away in pipes. This man is a model farmer. He has made this home and his little fortune by honest toil and the saving help of liis wife. His wife a noble woman departed this life some time back. She is missed. I have already made this article too long, and the half has not been told. Oo and see for yourself and profit thereby. What Mr. Cross has done others can do, and if we had just three men like Mr. Cross in each district there would go out an influence that .would be a blessing to Barrow county. We would have better homes, better people, less panic, more love and friend ship, less greed and selfishness. C. M. THOMPSON. MT. TABOR NEWS.

Ku Klux at County Line It was on last Thursday night, Along the road came a great big light Now I am telling you no lie, The Ku Klux were passing by. Some were scared so bad they were hardly alive, And numbered the cars at least sev enty-five, But there were twenty-eight or some where round, Yet not a word a word was uttered, not even a sound. Some said they weru't scared, I don’t believe it, do you? I bet the hours they spent in sleep Were very few. Of course they weren’t after those that had done nothing wrong. But they don’t feel just right when the Ku Klux are passing along. But those that have been doing mean ness had better look out, For they don’t know what time the Ku Klux will be about. So they had letter not fight nor be sell ing booze, Or they will be running so fast they will lose their shoes. Whether or not any papers were left will never be known, For I am quite sure they will never be shown. From this warning do better from now on, So you’ll be safe when the Ku Klux are passing along.

W inder-Statham-J eff erson Methodist S. S. Camp At Nacoochee Valley Bright and early Tuesday morning a happy group of young people left Winder for Nacoochee Valley, going through the country in automobiles. This camp has been organized by the boys' department of the Methodist Sun day school and has been eagerly look ed forward to by the boys for many weeks. There were about fifty in the party, including camp director, J. F. Broome, Rev. L. W. Collins and J. W. Carrington, Jr„ assistant manager. The party was also fortunate in carry ing two excellent cooks. The camp is beautifully situated on a little hill overlooking the Chattahoo chee river. Just across the stream is the famous Indian mound: to the right is Mount Yonah, which the boys will climb during the week; two milch down the road is Helena with its many places of interest, and close by is the Hardeman dairy where the camp will secure its milk supply. Besides the cottage the camp is in possession of five tents, in which even this large company can be made comfortable. The cottage is commodious enough to shel ter the entire crowd in case of severe storm. The possuffice and railway sta tion are only one hundred yards away, and mail can be obtained daily by ad dressing Nacoochee, Ga. The moral surroundings are of the best as the valley is famed for not only its law abiding citizenship, but the high class of its summer residents. Every minute of the camp will be packed full of good times and helpful occupation. A volley ball court is to be erected on the camp grounds, which will furnish an outlet for the boys sur plus energy. Every morning, before breakfast, each boy will line up for fifteen minutes of military exercises. In addition to hikes to Mt. Yonah and Helen, there will be the study of wood craft in flic neighboring hills. The riv er will furnish real enjoyment under perfectly safe conditions. (inly those who can swim will be allowed to go down to the bridge where there is deeper water and these only when the camp director, who is an expert swim mer. is present. Every night the boys have their devotional around the camp fire, where life problems will be con sidered and the spiritual side will find its ylace. The girls department has an equal number of girls in waiting, who are even more enthusiastic than the boys about their outing. They are anxiously wait ing for their turn and the same cars which carry them to the hills on the coming Wednesday will bring back the boys. The entire camp will have a re union and big picnic dinner that day, before they separate, the second camp being for girls only. Buy GOOD GULF KEROSENE.
