Georgia. mmwm, HOSPITALITY AS A VIRTUE CITIZEN ENGAGES IN SOME PERTINENT REBUKES ‘Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unaware”. We have not started out to preach a sermon, but there is no question but what there is a di vine injunction to. care for the strangers, in our*midsts. Then, hospitality in a commun ity is a mark of good breeding, and more than any other one thing will make a favorable im pression on the stranger and t.he visitor. The indifference with which we, as a people are inclined to treat strangers and visitors is notiqahle ard is becoming detrimental to our welfare. You all know that the biggest business the county has is the summer visitors, who bring a large vt.lumn of money into our midst and upbn whom many of the leading industries of the county depend for existence, and we are shamefully negligent of the common-! courtesies that should be shown them when they come to. us. As a class, the people who come here to spend the summer months, are as a whole the very best people of pqr southland and are a compliment to us. They are business Lardd' professional men and women, rtfSany cf whom ss £ w ' ■ ous, educational tfPd civic affairs of the south, and it properly re ceived. on the part of the gener al public can be made a blessing to us in more ways than merely the monetary value of their vis its.

Joe Tow is opening up a e'afe and eold drink stand in the Cannon building known as Hu bert’s Place. Just a few days ago we heard a prominent Georgian say that Rabun county had had so much Mayor J. T. Davis, who is Cost of “Senate inquiries” for the present fiscal year will have drained some $325,000 in tax funds out of United States treas ury. The Congressional investiga tions are becoming a costly busi ness. Many citizens are asking the simple question: “Why are these enormous expenditures necessary in addition to maintaing govern mental departments whose duty it is to attend to the very mat ters involved in these “special investigations?” Has the investigating mania become a part of campaign propaganda carried on at public expense?

Now that is rather a scathing rebuke, but when we come to think about it, what have we done to show our appre ciation for the many good things that have come, and are coming, our way? Occasionally there are delega tions of distinguished visitors who come among us and we are woefully negligent in receiving them. Just recently a distin guished visitor was in our rrttdst and we, as a civic organization, did absolutely nothing to' show our appreciation for his presence with us. We refer to the recent visit of the Governor, of the state, the highest official of our commonwealth, who had to go to a public hotel, just as an ordi nary traveling man would have had to do, when it would have looked much better, on our part, if he had been properly'received and entertained in the home of some prominent citizen. In an other instance a United States Senator visited us and an out sider had to take the iniative in showing him any degree of the courtesies that was due a United States Senator. si CcL/Ui ••• •■$)*&■■■, .
