THERE IS NO PAPER LIKE THE HOME PAPER TO HOME PEOPLE. VOLUME XXIX CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY GEORGIA THURSDAY MAY 22 1924. NUMBER 20 JOHN HENRY CANNON PASSES AWAY WAS FOREMOST CITIZEN OF RABUN COUNTY “Mr. Cannon is dead”. Swift ly, but laden with a breath of sorrow, the news was spread abroad, Wednesday evening just as the day was dieing, that Hen ry Cannon had quietly passed away at his home at the Blue Ridge Hotel. For days, loved ones and friends had lingered near, hoping to hear that he would be able to overcome his physical weakness, but very little hope was held out on account of his weakened eon- d'tion etu;ed from acute Bright's disease and a deranged heart. Mr. Cannon was fifty two years old at his last birthday and annlive (f Rabun county, lie was born and reared near Wiley^ at the old Cannon homestead. Thirty years ago he was mar ried to Mies Celia Phillipps, of- South Carolina, who survives him. He was the eldest of a large family of children 'and leaves, beside his mother; four brothers; Waiter, Charlie, Frank and Jabel and four sisters, Mels* dames Sal lie Thompson, Ed Nor*, ton, ,L. Neville and Annie Us~ sery. Etev;en *$ld*ea^ww»Jw Mr. and Mrs, Cannon, all of whom are living except Mrs. T. C. Justus. Those living are Mrs. Isie McCurry, Miss Maud, Horace, (Service, R, E., Mildred, J. H. Jr., Jimmie, Chleo, Carrie Belle and four grand children, Ola, Caroline, Junior and Melba McCurry. Probably the high?st tribute paid the deceased is the great number of folks, who linger near and with one accord acclaim "He was m / ffiend". Mr. Cuinon was a man of-the people, who knew and loved his neighbors and no doubt had ac commodated more people thar any man of his day, for it was his custom to help every worthj cause that came to his attention. It is said of him that he" would buy anything that a farmer brought to town and offered foi sale, even though he did not al ways profit thereby, he loved t< help .those who tried to helj themselves, Eight years ago he identified himself with the Baptist Ghurcl and since that time hrs been i. potent factor in the’church af fairs of this town and communi tv. One of the last of his business transactions was to subscribr five hundred dollars toward thi purchase of a lot on which t< erect a new Baptist church. Mr Cannon was one of tU most progressive citizens of the county and had implicit faith in in the future of Clayton and Ra bun county, as is evidenced, bj his having'recently rented his store room to some pm ties who wanted to enter business here, and erected for himself a new store room. Just a few days ago he was heard to remark that if he lived he intended to cover the Blue Ridge block with business houses just as fast as he could build them. Though a man of large busi ness affairs die Was never too fairs of family and friends. He loved his friends; was de- veted to his family and devoutly worshipped his Creator, The funeral and interment will be,at the Baptist church Friday afternoon at two o’clock, in charge of the local pastors, Revs. J. W. Kesterson and R. P. Eth ridge. Words fail with which to tx press the sympathy that goes out BLECKLEY BROTHERS MAKES LOREDO SOY BEAN PAYING CROP ONE BUSHEL OE SEED RE TURNS MORE THAN $1200. One afternoon, of this week, it was our pleasure to accompany Mr. Edwin BUckley to the farnr of Bleckley Brothers, up in the i Wolf Fork community where we saw some real farming, though* Mr. Bleckley had no idea that he waS giving out information for ihe press, vve secured a story from him regarding a crop of Loredo Soy Beans, that is Well worth the time of any farmer to investigate. These voung men, Edwin and Herring, sons of the late Judge Logan E. Bleckley, awn one of the best farms in the valley and are applying modern methods to their ftfinri operations which is returning to them a handsome dividend. Last, year they purchased one bushel of Loredo Soy Beans, vvith which they^planted eight and a half *acresv from which they harvested bushels of re-cleaned seed and have sold $1150 worth of f.the seed and about $75 worth hay. The hay crop was not so of being over ri ing thT% about twenty six acres of the same beans which they will have completed planting in a few days. They have the land in a fine state of cultivation and no doubt will harvest another good crop. As yet they have not tested out the feeding value of thr beans as compared to other feeds but agriculturists claim that the soy bean is one of the best grain feeds and that the hay compares well with the best hays. The land planted in beans last year is planted in corn-this year and being in a high state of cul tivation will no doubt make a good yield. — 0 ROGERS-CANNON. .on account t th&harvest- STOLEN CAR RECOVERED Mr. V. A. Grant, of Gaines ville, who had a Ford touring car stolen from him last November, was here yesterday to see the sheriff and to inform him that the car was reported to have been traded to a party in this county. While talking to the sheriff and giving'a detailed de scription of the car, some one passed in a car and Mr. Grant recognized it as his car, and the sheriff went and examined it and found the description given by Mr. Gront tallied with the marks, on the car,' The car was in possession of Mr. Roy Thompson, who had borrowed it from his neighbor, Mr. Conrad Nichols, to drive to town. Mr. Nichols bought the car from a Mr. Philiipps, of Towns county and it is supposed tnathe will take steps to recover the price of the car. Mr. Grant immediately sworq out a possessory warrant for the car, which is now in possession of the sheriff until the rightful owner has been designated by the proper authorities.
