Mr. J. H. Dillard of Dillard,
I Ga., was in Clayton Monday.
• Miss Liza Duncan is visiting in
Atlanta this week.
The Rabun farmers have been
very busy this fine weather, pre
paring their lands for another

t Claytojj the first of the week.
They cimb up to enter their little
14 year old crippled grand son,

The Clayton Chamber of Com

Mr. J. C. Allen, of Atlanta, Ga.
was in Clayton Tuesday. A few
years ago Mr. Allen bought about
60 acres of land on the Stroud
Mountain, and was up hear to
purchas about ten more acres.
This is a fine section for an apple
and peach orchard. Mr. Allen

will be another one of Rabun’s
Ratified orchardist.

Col. H. H. Dean, ofGainesvilie,
Ga.. met the Trustees of the Flat
Creek school at Mathis, Ga., last
Thursday and compromised the
case of the Trustees against The
Georgia Railway and Power Co.,
by. paying the Trustees $400.00 in
cash for the privilege of backing
water over the school lot, which
is one acre more or less; Also
granting the Trustess and pa
trons of the school, boating privi
leges on the Mathis lake; also,
giving them the right to use the
present school building should it
not be flooded, and if it should
be flooded they have the right to
move the building back on said
lot where it is not flooded; also
paying cost and their attorney's
fee of one hundred dollars.
Prof. Chastain, County Super
intendent of Schools, was in Clay
ton the first of the week. We
told Prof, that he could raise more
corn in Rabun county this year
than one third of the best farm
ers in the county and sit in the
shade and do it. Prof, asked how.
We told him to organize his school
boys into a progressive corn club.
The reason we say this, it is based
on facts. Take the counties in
Georgia where the county Super
intendent of Schools have proper
ly organized the school boya into
a county corn club, and given
some of their tinieand attention
to this work, the yield of corn in
those counties has been doubled.
The same thing can be done in
Rabun county. Our boys are as
industrious, intelligent and per
severing, and have as fine soil as
there is in Georgia.
Prof, before we say too much,
let us say again to you, that the
columns of our paper are open to
you end your boys in this work.
Col. W. B. Slone of Gainesville, Ga.,
was in Clayton Thursday on legal busi-

Prof. M. L. Duggan State Supervisor
of schools, visited his family here this

We learned since we began to press,
that Mr. J. H. Jones Ex-Sheriff of
Rabun County, died at his home two
miles west of Clayton, this morning at
five oclock. Thia will be sad news to
his many friends.
We are requested by the Clayton
Board of Education to ask the citizens

Ritchie bid 47,496 dollars, Mr. Howell
C. Blalock bid 46,993 dollars, which

bond Wednesday to keep the roads of
Rabun county in good repair for 1914.
