RAILROAD BEING TALKED IN ATHENS If it is decided to scrap the Gaines ville Midland Railway, or that part of it extending from the main-line to Athens, Hon. Tom J. Shackelford sug gests that our Chamber of Commerce try and get the Athens' Railway Com pany to buy the line and right of way and operate it as a part of their sys tem by electricity. Mr. Shackelford says that the prop erty, if scrapped by the owners will bring the value of the old iron, which is but a small matter, as it will cost al-\ most the value of said iron to take it up and ship. But if the company that owns our city line and electric plaut will take this road they can operate it at a small additional expense with their own power from the Tallassee shoals and only some three miles distance. If more power is required they will have at Gainesville the power trans mitted from two large plants, one at Tallassee Falls. Mr. Shackelford says that he believes such an arrange ment can be made with this compafly. The line would be a splendid proposi tion, be thinks, and could be made to pay handsomely. The road-bed is graded, the cross-ties in place and the iron would cost only the price of sec ond uand rails. Mr. Shackelford thinks it would be well to also take over the entire line from Athens to Gainesville, if the en tire road is scrapped, and run electric cars between the two poiuts at stated intervals. —Larry Gantt, in Athens Banner.

Of course, the New York firm didn't know what it was talking about. The morale of the South is a living, puls ing, throbbing affair that may get slightly out of joint at times when its liver goes wrong, but it never de parts and is always ready for service upon demand. The South is all rigid and will continue to be all right. It didn’t lose its morale during the dark days of the civil war and reconstruction and it didn’t lose it when called upon to make countless sacrifices during the world war.—Walton Tribune.

During the last week the Methodist congregation kept alive the Christmas spirit for several days with their va ried programs, which were rendered by various departments of the church. In addition to the beautiful Christmas pa geant rendered by the adults, the Jun ior department and primary children gave a Christmas trs with a varied and elaborate program on Thursday of Christinas week to an audience that completely tilled the new auditorium. < >n Sunday, special exercises were given at the Sunday school. Special music at the morning hour, and at night the beautiful “Feast of Candles” was held which is an ancient old-country Christ mas custom and which was enjoyed by young and old.
