_ While thus being informed on
~ the advantages of the electric
rail roads, over the steam rail
roads, my desire grew to find
out for myself and thus the time
passed pleasantly by until the
arrival.
The passenger cars over there
are different from ours. The
benches are long enough to
comfortably seat four persons.
The center arm rests can be
turned out of the way and at
night time the long benches
made into comfortable beds. The
benches are facing each other,
in pairs. All along one side of
the car is the passage way and
for each pair of benches, on
each side of the car, there is a
door thus permitting much
quicker unloading and boarding
of passengers. '-And in case of
**fire or wreck the arrangements
might be the means of saving of
human lives.
T The baggage holders are much
more commodious. *• However,
our passenger cars here have
the safety couplings and center
bumpers and are an improve
ment over the antequated Eu-.
ropean ones. Thanks to the ef
forts of our illnstrous Georgian,
Tom Watson.
From the train I observed
with much delight the ever
changing scenery. From what
I could see of Geneva all the
houses there are biiilded of
ibrick or stone, stuccoed and
tinted with a yellow, buff,
cream or pinkish color, giving
a bright pinkish color. These
bright colors might have much
to do with giving Italy the name
of "Sunny Italy." AJ1 roofs are
covered with tile or slate.

MORE SCANDAL IN
DIVORCE COURTS
TRIAL AT COURT HOUSE
DECEMBER 23,
One of the most sensational
divorce cases that has been aired
in the local courts will be given
a hearing at the court house,
Tuesday evening, December
23rd, at 7:80.
The parties in litigation are
Mrs. I. Beatumup vs Mr. I.
Beatumup. The grounds for
divorce, as set out in plaintiff’s
petition are cruelty, non-support
and} affection for other men’s
wives.
Come out and hear this scan
dal aired by the plaintiff and
her neighbors, it will be sensa
tional enough.
There will be a small admis
sion fee charged on account of
the fact that so many spectators
will be on hand that it will be
necessary for you to have a re
served seat in order to hear the
trial.
The proceeds from the admis
sion fee will be given over to
the M asonic Orphans Home.

1HE CHRISTMAS
— -Ktgm
Now that we have come to the end of another
year, a year filled with hopes of better things ful
filled, and in some instances our hopes blighted,
which will always be the case so long as we are
mortal
Ottr age does not want the cost of Christmas to
increase but it does want its good will toward men
to increase with each, passing year.
Since we stoodum the brink of this festive oc
casion one year ago our planet has carried us once
around the great sun. In all that great journey
the earth has never been away from the influence
of the great transforming power of the radiant
light.
Likewise, we have gone a long journey in our
moral and spirtual realm and during all that time
we have never been out of reach of the great lov
ing outstretched hand of the Christ whose coming
into the world we celebrate, or desecrate, accord-
to our conduct.
We have no fixed or stated festival in which we
celebrate the creation of the world and probably
it is not intended that we should have, but we
do celebrate the coming into the world of the
Great Redeemer and rightly- so, because it cost
so mpeh more to redeem the world than to
create it. In the creation there was only the
spoken words and a world came into existence
but in the redemption. there was the shedding '
of blood together with all the pain, sorrow and
trials that could be heaped upon human sus
ceptibility to suffering.

tha't in tbd publication of a local newspaper it takes all
’ tile means that onfe»can possibly muster together to carry
y :t oil thf business and when subscriptions have Mbeep allow-
;?ii . ed to rim over an indefinite length of time they become
1 harder to pay and harder to collects
The second main reason is, as wsAsee it, ;is the fact that
jt is rhe only way the publisher harof knowing* whether
' or not you want the paper, and whether or not you want
it to come into your, home ancT whether or not you are
willing to help support the effort 'to publish a piper in
your countv. and it is also not our intention of trying to
force anyone to take and read the paper if you do not
Want it. ■ , .
With this explanation we hope you will not be offended
’ wften your paper is discontinued at the expiration of your
»paid-up subscription.
Furthermore, it takes lots of time and costs too much
to send out statements when every paper you receive
bears a statement of the time your subscription expires.
We do not want to lose any subscriptions and at this
time we are just as busy as can be with the work in the
office so we have arranged with Hon. J. J. Kimsey to
help us look after the subscriptions and he will take pleas
ure in taking your subscription and is authorised to give
you a receipt for all money paid to him on subscription.
Thanking you lor your co-operation and hoping to have
your continued good twill, we are,, Yours Truly,

There will be a mayor and
five councilmen to be elected
and they in turn will elect a
clerk and chief of police.
This yenrhas been one contin.-
Uofts. round of elections but if it
had hot been so there would

The Clayton Tribune,

Dear Bro. Cross,
We received your copy of
the Christmas Number of the
Tribune, which I assure you we
appreciate very much. I con
gratulate you on getting out
such a splendid paper. I am
sending herewith a , check for
one dollar and a half for which
you will please continue to send
us the paper.
Allow me the privilege of ex
pressing, through your columns,
our very deep appreciation for
the kindness shown us by the
folks in Rabun during the five
years of our stay among you.
There will always be a warm
place in our hearts for the folks
in Clayton and in Rabun County.
Some of these days maybe we
will have the privilege of being
one ameng y,<ttafn;
We have re|Spfe{l a warm wel

pleasantly situated. We have
four strong country churches in
communities where a large per
cent of the people are of our
church. In fact for nearly a
hundred years no other denom

tory.
With all good wishes,
R. P. Etheridge.
