“THERE IS NO PAP R LIKE THE HOME PAPER TO HOME PEOPLE. .U—.. VOLUME XXIX CLAYTON, RABUN COUNTY GEORGIA. THURSDAY OCTOBER, 9, 1924. NUMBER 40 MANY NEW BUILDINGS IN PROCESS OF CON STRUCTION TWO NEW STORES AND SEVERAL DWELLINGS Since the rush of the season hds passed over and most of our guests have gone, Clayton is now engaged in a building campaign which will add materially to the business interest of the town as well as to the looks of it. Messers C. E. Cannon and T. E. Roan have a crew of brick layers at Work on their store buildings, on Savannah Street, juAt west of and adjoining the Tribune Building. These two store rooms, which are being l)uitded together, are 45 feel wide facing the street and ex tend back 80 feet and will be two stories high. Mr. Roan will have the tele phone exchange office in the second story of his building and Mr. Cannon will probably make storage and office rooms in his part of thei)uilding, • There has been some talk of the flMasons building another story on top of the two \>einK buiided, tor Masonic Headquar ters. which if done will make a three-story Imilding, These /gentlemen expect to have the building done before Christmas and will move their stores as soon as possiple. Mr Webb Derrick is overhaul ing his dwelling, in front of the ourt house, and when completed will be one of the most hand some dwellings in town. He is adding eight more rooms to the four he already had and will have a two story house with a garrett that will be used - for sleeping rooms. Mr. W. M. Teague is erecting a four room cottage in East 0layton. tin the.Davis sub-divis ion, near the home of J. R. Stonecypher. When completed Mr. Teague expects to move his family into the cottage. Col. Clyde Holden is building another story on his dwelling and will have, when completed, a handsome residence which he will’probttbly use as a boarding house. Mr. P. A.

VALLEY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL GIVES BARBECUE VALLEY VOCATIONAL HIGH The Vocational teachers, ol The barbecue advertised to M the Ninth District, held a con- given some time ago by t,he Val-; Jy en tion at the school building, al leV Vocational School, at Dillard,! rpuiard, last "Saturday, Oct. 4th and which was postponed untiIJT t which time the ladies of the last Saturday on account rains was a splendid success. The ladies of the Parent- Teacher Association were the sponsors of the barbecue which was given on account of the gathering there of the Vocational teachers, of the Ninth Congres sional District. They were disappointed on ac count of some of the speakers not being able to get there. Some of them had to attend the South eastern Fair in Atlanta, where they will be in charge of some of the Agricultural exhibits and schools which are provided for by the Fair. A splendid gathering was there to respond to the effort of the ladies to entertain them though not near enough people to consume the bounteous feast they had prepared. In fact, it was a barbecue in" which there was plenty for ev eryone and some to spare. There were two whole carcasses that were not taken off the pit until after the dinner was over and there had been plenty carved to have fed the crowd twice with several baskets of fragments left 6v«f. Dillard enjoys the distinction of having a corpse of teacher* that measures up to the highest standard required by the school authorities and judging from ap pearance of the building and grounds they will sustain their reputation and we predict for the Valley Vocational School a year of unprecidented success, Not only are the teachers of the-Valley school on the job but the Parent-Teachers Association are ever alert to their duty and to the things that pertain to the best interest of the school.
