Clifford M. Walker, GoWnor oi
’ * Georgia,-than whom there is hr
more ardent advocate of Sunday
Schools, adressed the Sunday
Schools of Rabun County, at the
court house, last Sunday morn-
in*. .
The Governor is On* of the
few public men who has consis
tently and conscientiously mixed
religion and pottles for the Iasi
twenty years, or since the time
he first came into the limelight
as a potent factor in the public
affairs of the state.
Even before the Governor en
tered the political arena he.
was^ctive in church and re’ig-
, ious ''affairs and since having'
been signally honored lay the
' voters of the state by being elec
ted, first to the office of Solici
tor Genes al of the Western Cir
cuit ahd-fthen to the office of
V Attorney. Gejn&ol of the State.
' and finally, to the highest office
within the gift of the people of
the. state, that of Governor, he
'-has been active in the religious
affairs of the community in
" jijJia resided and with every
* ‘ J veinent, especially,
Thi Bleckley Memorial Insti- 1
Lute, one of the Mountain Schools
•being operated by the Home
Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention, has completed the
spring term, this week. They
are a week ahead of mort schools
on'account of having made some
time by working on Saturdays.
Prof. C. E. Moody has been at
the school the past year, and air
though the attendance lias been
srmtft they have graduated nine
fine young men and women, whf
will go out from here, either It
enter college or to fill their place
in life’s activities. /
Last Sunday Rev. J. Fred
Eden of Toccoa preached the
commencement sermon, at th^
courthouse. Rev. Eden, prrbably
tried to preach under the most
adverse circumstances, he had
ever encountered, but with that
fearjess persistent disposition
that he possess preached a won
derful sermon. Mr. Eden
slated to preach the the !
lust after the address.j
Governor, which lasted
hour, and with the audience al
ready beginning to tire, it was a
difficult undertaking;. ’wlP
Tne preacher chose for a sub
ject “Making Big Your Job” or
’ It has been the. privilege of
the writer to have known Mr.
Walker personally, ever since lie: ^had the Governor, as 4 member
f|rst entered politics and to have of his audience or because of the
% i 4 ' A' -L Lrviorvnitn^o (La JllKioo 1, WO
had opportunity to observe his
official acts as well as his per
sonal demeanor and we are proud
to say the Cliff Walker is the
same Cliff today that he was
twenty years ago and that the
1 onors that have been bestowed
upon him have not, im thedeast,
tended toward an estiahgonent,
he lov?s to serve.
The speech Sunday morning, is
adjudged by munv to have* been
the lest Mr. Walker has! ever
delivered on any subject, ard
certainly it was a masterly ad*
dre3snn the subject “What is
the most valuable thing in. life?”
The] Governor’ll answer is that
the individual come into the
proper relations with God, the
Maker and Cl-eator.
The next step is to get into
the proper relations with pne$
self—to know ones relations to
God and humanity; to know the
sphere, in whieivohe can be best
fitted for life’s duties and re
ftponsibilitka.
After the address the Governor
remained over to hear the com
mencement ^ sermon, of the
B. M. L, delivered bv his life
long friend, Rev. J. Fted Eden,
who at one time was book-keep
er in the bank of the Governor’s
father, at Monroe, Ga., after
which he left .for Hiawassee to
deliver a literary address to a
iuating class in the Hiawas

The traffic at the crossing of

A glimpse of tlpe pending- pro
gram of the Juniors reveals
many interesting schemes to
beautify, advertise and bi>ost
our little city. Among some of
the plans are some Ihing-to coig£
at an early date and others tg be
worked' out later.
We learn that an attractive
fountain is soon to bo placed on
one of the corners of the public
square and q little later, they
propose to erect a beautiful rus

The Publicity Committee ia
ght best to!now sponsoring a plan of gener-

JToc-
ctu6ive. The reason for this is
that most, of the hotels and sum
mer resorts open about the first
of June and by defering the clean
up campaign until the dates
named it will give the town a
general freshening appearance
the first of June.
.contest was close and the judges
had some difficulty in deciding
the winners of the medals, Miss
Myrtle James won the contest
for the girls and Mr. Dock Shart
won the contest for boys. Judge
John Awtry, Prof. W. G. Coffee
and Cof, Thad L. Bynum were
the judges.
After the contest the class
put on the play entitled “Deacon
Dubbs” which was participated
in by all the graduating class
gf)d was so well given as to re
ceive the hearty commendation
bf ail wh> heard it. In fact,
many say that the city theaters
do not always put on as good
play as the one given by the
B. M. I. boys and girls.
Tuesday evening the exer
cises consisted of a it Ik by Prcf.
Moody, principle of the school
followed by an address by Col.
JoeT. Davis, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees. Col. Davis
seemed to be at his best and
made quite an interesting talk in
which he told of some of the his
tory, aims and accomplishment
of the school.
Prof. kJ. H. Simftions, of
Breneau Colled**, Gainesville,
Ga., delivered the literary ad
dress, and chose for hi&
“The Measure of Human Life”
and delivered a well-received
measagealongthe
idea that there is a great deal of
similarity in all men and that
when we think some one
is different from other folks
that we have just failed to gej
an insight as to the real person
ality of the person.
The graduating exercises
were then carried out in a
beautiful and well directed
maner and thdse taking part
are receiving the congratulations
of all who heard the program.
Those graduating and receiv-
their diplomas were Misses
