stead of having_to go to larger
-cities to hear the best sermons;
we should let intelligence rule
and govern our country, and the
best teachers and preachers
would stay here, and be sent in
to our midst.
It has long been known that
the mountains of North Georgia,
are well adapted to the growing
of many varieties of fruits.
When the railroad made its ap
pearance through this section of
the county, it then opened up a
market, which makes this one of
the most profitable industries in
the State. The numerous valleys
and coves, also produce abund
antly, fine apples and all kinds of
grains and vegetables. Though,
the apple is the king of all fruits,
and grows here to perfection. In
its different varieties, we have it
throughout the year. While oth
er fruits last only in their season,
unless canned, or otherwise pre
served. The attention of fruit
growers all over the county is
centered on this section. A
great many ^orchards have al
ready been planted, and some of
them !are giving results, even
growing apples at 10 and 15c per
bushel, and selling them from $2
to $3 per bushel. Some orchards
in our county are being planted
with thousands of trees. But it
is not the large orchards that we
think would be most desiriable
for the county, unless each stock
holder should have his home on
same. The orchards with four
to six hundred trees, the small
orchards, and lots of them, will
give population, which it takes,
to ever reach the highest degree
of-improvement to any country,
jsad then we will have the. hap
piest people, because they wiii
all be working for themselves.
France and Germany, with their
little five and ten acre farms, arc
the wealthiest countries in the
world. So it would be here wiih
the orchards. The best apple
-producing country known to civ
ilization. Twenty five or thirty
acres of this land, with a few
hundred^tree3, well cared for, 1 he
r balance nicely cleared, part of it
set in grass, and the rest brought
upto a high state of cultivation,
would give a happy contented
people, good roads, good Sunday
schools, churches, and good
schools, with a lot of healthy
children to .’attend the same.
After while the peoplejjfrom the
low lands'and other sections will
not say, I am going up to the
mountains to spend 'the summer.
They will say I amlgoing up into
the orchards to make my home,
and raise my children, where
they can see and smell the beauti
ful, sweet,, pink and fragrant ap
ple blossoms, and eat the delicious
wholesome, red and yellow
apples, andjroami over the hills,
where they can gather the wild
flowers, and get plenty of fresh
air and sunshine.
So we should wake up and re
alize where nature has placed us.
We have one of the richest, and
it should be one of the most oros-
perous and healthful countries in
the world. All it needs, is brain,
energy and money to develop it.

Th C unty of Rabun and the Cny of Cl yt n, which gave him
livih, wishing o do h mor to cue of her greatest and most dis-
inguished sons, the late Chief Justice, Hon. Logan • E. Bleckley,
>egan the movement in 1911 to build the Logan E. Bleckley Me
•norial Institute. The plan of this building was drawn by one of
his son-, Mr. Haralson Bleckley,architect of (he city of Atlanta and
he near relatives took the iniative in this movement, the widowed
wife spending about $7,000 on this building. On Dec, 2Gth, 1912,
the Baptist StateaMissicn Board accepted this school as a memorial
■.lift from the bereft widow. Since that date this building has been
completed at a cost of about $12,000.00. There is hardly an At
tirney in the state or adjoining states, who are not willing to con
ribute something to this school and help perpetuate its name
ability to educate our mountain boys and girls. This
located on a 1 eautiful hiil, looking the city of Clayton and our
School square in the face, as a token of its ability and friendship to
help make a better Clayton, a better Rabun and a better Georgia.
This school, though supported by the Baptist Mission Board is non
sectarian in principle, but believes in a Christian education.
Teacher: Principal, Mr. H, P, Bell of Canton, Ga., who took the
A. B. degree in 1910 at Mercer University, Prof. Bell’s grand
father, T. R. Bell, was born in Rabun county one hundred years
ago. Mr. Bel! is a young man, 28 years of age, and comes to Ra
bun as an educated man, wi h a strong pers* v ring mountain spirit.
Lady principal, Miss Janie Duggan, who graduated at Bessie Tift
College and has five years experience ip teaching, having taught
four years in the grainmer school at Brunswick, Ga,
Music teachpr; Miss Virginia Puckett, who is a graduate of Hamp-
i< n Conservatory of music, and has four years experience, Miss
Puckett teaches harmony, theory of music and musical history and
aas 15 pupils in her class.

F. Smith, A. J. Duncan, W. H. Dodd. A. J. Grist and Joseph T.
Davis, Secretary and Treasurer. This is the first year of this school
and now has forty pupila^enrolled. The Rabun County Baptist
\ssociation agrees to raise $60(1.00 for,the support of this school
this year, and besides having a strong local support, the Washing
ton Association agrees to raise $3,000, and the Hephzebah Associa
tion agrees to raise $3,000 and a number of sequel contributions
have been given. This school at present is doing preparatory work,
but later will give the higher courses and issue diplomas.
THE CLAYTON DRUG STQRE.
This building is owned by Dr. J. 0. Dover, Dr. J. A. is his part-
.er in business and Clayton prides herself upon having two of the
i-st doctors in Northeast Georgia. This is the first two story brick
buildin* in Clayton, erected in 1905. This store took the iniative
i installing an expensive up-to-date soda fountain. Yoo|can find
neve-ail kinds of drugs, paints, oils.Jfine tobaccos and cigars, sta
tionary, magazines etc. The druggist, Mr. B. T. Dockins, has
b >en on the; job almost daily for ten years. The second story is oc-
c 'pied by the Southern Lumber Company, Messrs. Cbas. Il.hStone
a d Gaylord W Bebee, since 1908. Bynum Brothers, Attorneys,
. L and Grover L., occupy! he two front io< ms, and entity hall
is also on the 2nd floor of this building.
THE .CLAYTC N DEPOT.
While many corporations, institutions and rrganizr.tiors, have
contributed much to our o unty. in the wav of developement in the
p st few years;5ws believe the Tallulah Falls Rai road lma been
Sc or to : one.
Mr, D. W. Newell, Supt. is progressive, and! isjjdoing much to
nake this one of the most p pular blanches of the great Southern
Gail oad System. We can hardly imagine how much this road has
tone for us, in the way of conveniences, and there should be a
friendly spirit between the people and our corporation industries,
and we some imes believe that most all differences cculd be amica
ble adjusted, if the conflicting parties would listen to business men,
instead of hired politicians.
|0Mr. J. G. Kinman, is the agent at this place, and has twelve
years experience in railroading, having worked with the Georgia
and Florida road for nine years, and was Station Accountant in the

ness man, and is courteous|to all.
