Webb” Johnson the popular
ex-sheriff of Hart County purchas
ed whut is locally known as Blue
heights farm of J. 1, Langston
this week. This farm will be
known os the "Passover farm,” a
name very appropriate as the farm
lies in the famous Rabun Gap, the
lowest gap in the Blue Ridge
mountains. Mr. Johnson has al
ready 2000 apple trees set out on
this farm and it is his purpose to
increase the number to 6000 this
fall. The Tallalah Falls R'y right
of way belts the land on east and
in many ways this farm is a most
desirable'one. In point of coolness
it may be called the iceberg of Ra
bun. We are told there is never a
day nor an hour but what there it a
brease through this gap. It is here
the famous Tennessee Biver heads,
a fact not generally known bat
nevertheless true. The Tennessee
river beads in Georgia. The farm
ia well adalpted to fruit growing,
fnlly demonstrated by the bearing
trees, they being laden so much as
to be propped now aud trees many
years old seemingly perfectfully
healthy.
