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. o «****£ty' WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING ] The Clayton Woman’s Club is called to meet in regular ses sion, at the Ladies Room, at the court house, on Saturday after noon at 3:00 o'clock.
