J. N. Holcomb, of Rt. 2, Tiger,
vraa inl.town;,last Thursday and
told us to send him the Tribune.
Pole has ever been our friend and
patron sincejwe came to Rabun.
we call your attention to the
display advertisement of Scruggs
and Hamby. This flouring mill Is
a home inatitutionjaudiowneu by
our home men who are highly
worthy of your patronage. j '
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Derrick and
son, Andrew, after having been
absent nearly a year in Wilming
ton, N. 0. returned to their home
here on Wednesday of last week
to the delight of their many
friends.
Loyd Smith the oldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Gus Smith had the
misfortune to get two of his fing
ers and thumb torn off while
playing with a dynamite cap. The
accident happened Thursday.
The cap had been carelessly
thrown near the road at their
home, so says the report.
The editor of this paper is in
receipt of the 1921 prospectus or
catalog of The Laurel Falls Camp
for Girls, The booklet is a pic
ture of neatness and beauty. It
contains the highest reecommen-
dations from some of the first
citizens of the southern states
and former patrons of the camp,
many of whom expect to be with
this camp in 1921.
The Only Way To Win
It take* a little courage
And a little self-control.
And some grim determination
If youlwant to reach a goal
It takes a deal of striving,
And a firm and stern set chin
No matter what the battle.
If you're really out to win.
There’s no easy path to glory.
There’s no rosy road to fame
Life however we may view it,
la no simple parlor game;
But lta prises call for fighting,
For endurance and for grit.
For a ruggid disposition
And a ‘don’t-know-when-te^nit”
You must take a Mow or give one
Yon mnst risk and yon must lose
And expect that in the struggle
You will Buffer from a bruise
But you mustn’t wlucp or falter
If a fight you begin, ':
Be a: man and face the battle—
That's the only way to win.
THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE, CLAYTON, GEORGIA.
GOOD PAPER SUSPENDS
One of the good local papers of
South Carolina ceased to appear
recently, and in the hist issue of
that paper—The Fountain Inn
Tribune—Robert Quillen, the ed
itor took occasion to remark:
“In times like these, subscrib
ers are unable to pay. In times
like these, merchants are unable
to advertise, for advertising wont
sell goods unless people have
money to spend.
“Consequently the Tribune is
now without revenue, and must
suspend publication. The publish
er has no choice in the matter.
Printers Zmust be have wages,
and paper houses demand pay for
their wares—not next fall, but
now.
“When conditions justify a re
sumption of publication, each sub
scribers will be given full credit
for the time the paper was sus
pended. In the meantime the
Tribune’s good friends are asked
to be patient.”
Like The Fountain Inn Tribune
THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE
might have to throw up
its hands and holler:—“CALF-
ROPE”——Should the people of
Clayton, and Rabun County,* fail
much longer to give us their
hearty co-operation and financial
support.
A local paper is looked dn by
too many people as being a sort
of charity, when as a matter of
fact the editor has to live, the
printers paid, and the paper paid
for the same as in any other
business.
Are you a paid in advance sub
scriber? Are you advertising
your business,in the paper? If
not why? Now honestly do you
want the Tribune to cease to ap
pear? Better get busy

We find quite a strong senti
ment in favor consolidation of
the Rabun Gap and Dillard
schools, and the erection of a new
commodious school building in
stead. This indicates progress in
all lines of enterprise as well as
educational advancement. We
bespeak for the men who are be
hind thiis issue, unbounded suc
cess, and forseen merited praise.
In fact, Rabun county should
symyathize with, and strengthen
this move on the part of those
Tennessee Valley people. There
is no finer location for the sup.-
port of a healthy and progressive
high school than in the beautiful
valley of Tennessee, surrounded
by the most productive farming
lands, a fine pure Anglo-Saxon
commonwealth of an energetic
type, with aerial regions unex-
elled, nestled among cerulean
peaks of the Appalachian mount
ains lies our own dear loved lands.
Then beleved Rabun! Lets wel
come all enterprises for 1 better
and greater citizenship.
The school at Dillard under the
government of the Misses Graves
and Salter are a little bit crowded
but doing fairly good work. We
are glad to have those G. N. and
I. C. teachers, as well as the
State Normal teachers, m Rabun
this year. Their influence is pro
gressive educationally.
Mountain Grove school under
the supervision of Robert Dixon
is doing good work. Robert is
anew teacher, but making his
mark.

AN EDEAL GIRL
The sweet, cheerful girl is the
noblest work of our Qreator, and
is a little bundle of earthly per
fection that is admired by both
sexes, old and young. She is a
girl that takes the advice of her
parents and is dutiful and obedi
ent. She lightens the burden of
the heart and mind of her old
mother and sheds a gleam of sun
shine over'the household. She
is the pet of the family and a
favorite of the neighborhood.
Such girls are few, but it- is a
happy thought to be assured
there are such articles. Yfoung
men, if you ever chance to meet
such girls be sure you make your
self worthy of her before you
make love to her, as such, girls
should never be cheated.
LAOS ABOUT GEORGIA
Following facts will probably
be of interest to the many that
were born and raised in the grand
old State:
Georgia was settled on Febru
ary 12, 1773 at Savannah by
James Edward Oglethorpe.
Georgia is the largest state east
of the Mississippi.
The three signers of the Decla
ration of Independence from
Georgia were Button Gwinnett,
Lyman Hall and George Walton.
Georgia was the first Southern
state to sign the Constitution.
Georgia was the fisrt state in
the union to declare for free
school and Richmond Academy
was the first iree school estab
lished.
| Our Georgia University was
the first state university in the
' United Slates.
A Georgia doctor, Crawfoid
W. Long was the first to discover
anesthesia.
William Longstreet, of Augus
Local Man’s Trouble
The man who handles the local
department of a newspaper learns
after due experience not to ex
pect very many thanks for a col
umn or two of pleasant things,
but he knows as surely as comes
the seasons that a single line in'
which there is unintentional mis
takes will cause some one to be
heard. Also that when he has
made pleasant mention 999times
of some person, place or thing,
but on the thousandth time fails
to do so, he must noi expect to
be forgiven. The omissions may
have been from accident, inad
vertence or even an entire lack
of knowledge, it matters not.
The simple facts remains that he
will be judged on that. He may
say good things about some busi
ness man for weeks, but let him
make some mistake and the good
things said are forgotten and the
man’s business is denied him.
There are about fifty business
and professional men in Clayton
who will please call at their con
venience and tell us how much
they are willing to sacrifice in
order that a local paper continue.
Some of our people are helping
by advertising. Others will we
hope.
