Deer At Dehjonega Owned By
State; Named Georgia
The birth of the first deer at the
Dahlonega corral was announced
Wednesday by State Game and Fish
Commissioner Peter S. Twitty. He
has been christened "Georgia,” and
is just a week old.
The deer was born at the tempor
ary state preserve at Dahlonega, on
property owned by Craig R. Arnold,
who publishers the State Highway
publication. There are now a total
of eight deer at the preservation.
Mr. Twitty said that it was the pur
pose of the department to raise sev
eral deer within the next two or
three years;

Davis And Scoggins Given
Construction Contract
At a meeting of the State Highway
Department, held at East Point last
Saturday, Messrs. L. L. Davis and C.
M. Scoggins of Commerce were given
the contract to build the culvert on
the Commerce and Carnesville high
way, these gentlemen having offered
the best bid for this work. They have
200 work days in which to complete
the construction of these culverts.
Their bid for the job was $48,000.00
in round numbers. The contract has
fallen into good hands, Messrs. Davis
and Scoggins having had quite a bit
of experience in such work.
Women Mutt Slow Down
The women of Commerce must
either manage to get more nights in
a week or cut out some of their
meetings and practices for this and
that and the other entertainment
features. This strenuous age means
a short life and a sudden death from
exhaustion and over work to most
women.
Local Merchants Should Advertise
The country papers have had a
marked increase in foreign adver
tising during the past few years. A
glance through the columns of the
News this week will reveal the con
trast in fhe local and foreign adver
tising matter. If advertising amounts
to anything—and it does—-it can but
result in a loss of trade to the local
business man.

Georgia Is All Right
We need here in Georgia to resell
Georgia to Georgians. We need to
realize that Georgia farm land is the
•'f't in the world; more than that,
v,e need to say so; that Georgia in
dustries are eminently sound, and
Ue need to say so. We need to tell
the truth about a great state in
stead of dressing it up in rags, such
as broadcasting ridiculous statements
to the effect that it is fifty years
behind in educational matters, its
roads mud holes and mire, and its
People poverty stricken because of
antiquated agricultural methods. The
bellyachers and calamity howlers
should be squelched for the good of
the state.

Mrs. Ralph Lott and daughter,
,n y, have returned home after

Jefferson.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Elder, of Jef

MRS. J. E. McELHANNON
ANSWERS LAST SUMMONS
The soul of Mrs. J. E. McElhan
non took flight from its mortal tene
ment of clay on Wednesday night of
last week. The immediate cause of
her passing was pneumonia, this
disease seizing upon her frail body
only a few short hours before the
end came.
Mrs. McElhannon had been in ill
health for the past six months, and
had been under the care of medical
specialists, but she was seriously ill
for only two weeks. Even her clos
est friends had not realized the
seriousness of her condition, hence
her going was a great shock to
family and friends.
She was 46 years of age, was born
and reared in Jefferson; and with
the exception of a short time soent
in Hawkinsville and in North Caro
lina, had lived her life in this town.
She was the eldest daughter of Mrs.
Mahaffey and the late Judge .7. A.
B. Mahaffey. She received her edu
cation in Martin Institute, and was
married to J. E. McElhannon in early
young ladyhood. She was the mother
of four children, one of whom, little
Tom McElhannon, having preced
ed her to the glory land. In her
home life, she was loving, symathetic,
forbearing, with a laudable ambition
that her loved ones should grow up
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord and be of service to each other
and to humanity. She was a loyal
member of the Methodist church, and
took an interest in its growth and
welfare, and was always ready to
do her part towards bringing into
fruition any undertaking that had
for its object the spreading of His
Kingdom on earth. In compliance
with a promise made to her Creator,
she gave up the frivolous social pas
times many months ago, and was
concerned only with the serious
things of life.
Funeral services were conducted
in the home Thursday afternoon at
4 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. L. B.
Linn, assisted by Rev. A. J. John
son, and her body now rests in Wood
bine cemetery. A large concourse of
sorrowing friends and loving rela
j tives, with a great profusion of beau
tiful flowers, surrounded the white
casket in which she lay as one asleep,
clothed in the pure white robes that
typified angelic purity, and every
heart wondered why one so much
needed by family and friends should
be needed also in the Kingdom Above,
i But God moves in a misterious way
His wonders to perform, and some
day, some where, it will be revealed
unto us and we will understand.
Music for the funeral was furnish
ed by a quartette, Col. and" Mrs. J.
S. Ayers, Mrs. J. C. Smith and W.
H. Williamson; and the pall bearers
were W. W. Dickson, John R. Flani
gan, W. H. Williamson, C. O. Shan
nahan, A. J. Flanigan and P. T. Pen
dergrass.
Mrs. McElhannon is survived by
her husband; by one daughter, Mrs.
A. W. Epps, of Sanford, Fla.; by
two sons, Mr. H. A. McElhannon and
little Jimmie; by one grandson, A. W.
Epps, Jr.; by her mother, Mrs. J. A.
B. Mahaffey; two brothers, E. C.
Mahaffey of Athens, and C. O. Ma
haffey of Apopka, Fla.; and by one
sister, Mrs. W. S. Pinson, of East
Point.
Today, as we sit in the shadow of
this great sorrow, thinking of her
unselfish, consecrated life, the shad
ow falls behind us and we see her
once more in the light of a beautiful
and glorious life.
She died in beauty, like a rose blow
from its parent stem;
She died in beauty, like a pearl drop
ped from some diadem;
She died in beauty, like a lay along
a moonlit lake;
She died in beauty, like the song of
birds amid the brake;
She died in beauty, like snow on
flowers dissolved away;
She died in beauty, like a star lost
on the brow of day;
She died in glory, like night’s gems
set round the silver moon;
She lives in glory, like the sun amid
the blue of June.
File Exceptions To Railroad Report
(From Savannah Press)
Through Lawton & Cunningham
and others as attorneys, the receiv
ers of the Gainesville-Midland Rail
way and the re-organization com
mittee of its security holders have
filed exceptions with the interstate
commerce committee to the proposed
report of Examiner Devoe, which
recommended that the commission
deny the application of the Gaines
ville-Midland to abandon its Bel
mont-Monroe branch. This applica
tion was made in accordance with a
j contract with the Seaboard Air Line
j to operate the remainder of the Mid-
Hand subject to authority from the
, Interstate Commerce Commission.
( The Seaboard Air Line also files
'exception contending that the exa
miner is wrong in his conclusion that
the entire line of the Midland can
be successfully operated by the Sea
board.
Opportunity to argue the question
before the commission is asked by
the Midland’s attorneys, but Wright
& Gamble, the Seaboard’s attorneys,
simply state that being convinced
j from its investigation, that “the
| schemes proposed by the examiner
: for the operation of the entire road
cannot be successfull carried out,”
I the Seaboard, “will take no further
! actidn towards salvaging the Midland
j if the commission sees fit to confirm
[the examiner’s report.”

Each of the four high school grades
constitute a society, and each one of

first place in any event is given two
points. The student winning the

The rooms were thrown together
with the bright decorations of lark

delightfully entertained by a beau
tiful selection from them.
After this enjoyment, the balmy
evening lured the pleasure seekers on
the, lawn, where proms were indulg
ed in for quite a while.
The punch table was very artis
tically banked with vines and sweet
peas of every hue, which formed a
radiant wreath around the bowl,
making an inviting surrounding for
tht delicious and cooling beverage
served.
The charming hostess was assisted
in entertaining by her talented moth

The party was one of the prettiest
and most well planned of the season,

Holder Addresses
Kiwanis Club At
Commerce Dinner
Commerce, Ga., May 21.—Paving
of the main trunk highways leading l
through Commerce to Atlanta and
northward to the Carolina line, as
well as eastward to the Savannah
river, is a prospect soon to be ac
complished in fact, according to John
N. Holder, chairman of the state
highway board, who spoke here Fri
day night before the Kiwanis club.
Mr. Holder was the honor guest of
the organization, which has been one |
of the leading factors in the good
roads movement in this section.
“You have four roads leading into
Commerce or leading out of Com
merce, one of which has recently
been added to the state aid system,”
Mr. Holder stated. “Just as soon as
[this road is put on permanent loca
[ tion, right of way has been obtained,
| bridges built and the road put in
proper condition to be maintained, it
will be certified into the state aid
system. I feel sure the counties
of Jackson and Madison will give at
tention to this work sometime in the
not far distant future.
“The road from Danielsville will
intersect route 59 in your city. Pav
ing will soon begin on the road from
Commerce to the Banks county line,
and from Commerce through Jeffer
son to Winder. The funds for the
project have already been provided,
survey has been made, plans are
now being worked up in the general
office at East Point, and work will
soon begin.
Important Paving Link
“In July a contract will be let for
the construction of the road from
Winder to Lawrenceville, thus in
suring within a year or so a paved
road from Commerce to the great
capital of our state. Route 15 is
now being paved from the North
Carolina line to Baldwin, so on this
route the only unpaved link between
the North Carolina line and Atlanta
will be the one through Banks coun
ty. This work should be done not
later than 1929 and possibly a part
should be dope in 1928.
The time is coming when paving
from the Banks county line on
route 59 will be extended to the
Savannah river, thus insuring this
city at least three paved highways.”
Mr. Holder pointed out that the
problem of paving the streets of
Commerce by state or federal aid
offers peculiar difficulties because
of provisions of the state and fed
eral highway laws. An amendment
of the state highway act will be
necessary before state aid can be
used in communities of more than
2,500 population, he stated. How
ever, he pledged his best efforts
to solve the problem if the legisla
ture will enact the necessary amend
ment.
Tribute to Kiwanian*
He paid tribute to the Kiwanians
for their interest in good roads, and
spoke in highest terms of the work
done by The Atlanta Journal in
promoting highway development.
“Along with the balance, north
east Georgia has had intense finan
cial suffering during the past few
years,” he said. “Deflation and boll
weevil came at the same time and
these were followed by severe I
drought, which has not only spelled
disaster to this city and this section,
but has caused great hardship.
This section has had seven lean years,
but I sincerely believe now we will
have seven fat years.
“The time, I believe, is at hand
when prosperity will again come to
this section of Georgia. If a fair
crop of cotton and peaches and oth
er things grown on the farm can
be made and reasonable prices ob
tained for them it means that we
have come to the parting of the
ways—that we have parted with
hard times and have gone on the road
of prosperity again.
“One of the contributions to im
proving conditions will be better
highways, and it rejoices my heart
to be able to co-operate with you in
your efforts to give your city and
this part of this county and the
state a system of highways that will
bring joy and pleasure to prove a
blessing to this community.”
Mr. Holder was introduced by
Mayor C. J. Hood, of the Northeast
ern Banking company, who paid a
tribute to his life as a private citi
zen and public official.

, noon, when the boys dug into an In
dian riiound that possibly had been
in existence for a couple of cen
turies.
I The crowniitg event was the six
