THE HOTEL ARRIVALS
TOO MANY TO PUBLISH
mxm-w
Though we hate to be defeat
ed, and it is not so plessant to
idmitit, yet when one is so over
A-helmingly defeated there is
lothing to do but to submit’to it
and make the best of it possible.
It was our intention when we
began the pulication of the Ho-'
cel Arrivals to do our best to
recognize, as far as possible,
everyone who visited in our midst
uid when we mentioned the
matter to the hotels they gladly
joined hands with us.
Up to the time of this writing,
not more than half of the hotels
have their lists in for this week,
and there is now hanging on our
copy hook, more than f ive hun
dred names and the only thing
that we can do.is to hoist the
white flag and surrender.
We have not the time to set all
the names, if we had the type
with which to set them. We
have been employing an extra-
printer, for two days of each
week to set the names but with
the'extra help we can not get
them ready.
The situation reminds us of
the farmer we once heard of, who
could not get his crop “laid by*‘
in time for the “big meeting",
so walked out into the middle of
the field, got upon a stump,
and with a bread sweep of- his
hand declared that It was. laying
by time and that he was pleased
to pronounce the crop laid by and
his intention of taking in all the
picniccs, family re-unions and
big meetings that he was entitl
ed to.
About the only thing left for
us to do is to issue a sweeping
declaration of welcome to every
one who comes into our midsts
and assure them that Clayton
and Rabun county is proud to
have them and proud that many
of them are purchasing homes in
our community and becoming
citizens, at least for part of the
time.
