$540 in gold, including one nug-
Ret woHh, SS. taken from one
f the gold mines on the Hardman
estate in Nacoochee Valley at a re
cent clean-up, according to Dr. L.

For a period of fifteen years, five of
which have passed.
A Wisconsin editor gets off the
following, “It is reported that one of
the fastidious newly married ladies
of this town kneads bread with her
Rkives on. This incident may be
somewhat peculiar, but there are
others. The editor of this paper
needs bread with his shoes on, he
needs bread with his pants on, and
unless some of the delinquent sub
scribers to this "Old Rag of Free
dom” pony up before long he will
need bread without a d-mn thing on,
and Wisconsin is no Garden of
JCden in the Winter time.”
When Horf John T. Boiffeuillet
was summoned from time to eterni
tjr, there was removed from the
public service of the State an en
tertaining writer, a magnetic orator,
a profound scholar, a conscientious
ufficia!, a line gentleman, and one
who was loyal to his friends. His
adiievements will emblazon one of
Georgia's histories. For many years
we were associated with him in the
xeneral assembly, and can say with
deep appreciation, “He was a true
man.”
Young Harris College recently
closed one of the most successful
years of its existence. This institu
tion, located in the North Georgia
mountains, is sponsored by the Meth
odist church. The total enrollment
for the present semester has been
730 students, and the year is being
wound up with a surplus of SIO,OOO.
This is said to be a record equalled
by no other denominational school
in the entire country.
Frank Elmore, former Athens
aviator charged with leading a gang
that stole several machine guns from
the University of Georgia H. O. T.
C. arsenal last year, will be tried
in Athens at the June term of fed
eral court. Elmore is now serving a
10-year-sentence for holding up a
South Georgia bank. He is on the
Hall county gang, after recently
escaping from prison in another
county. All other members of the
t?ang that robbed the arsenal have
tieen sentenced.
The birth of five babies to Mr.
and Mrs. Ernest Dionne at their
home in Corbeil, Ontario, is causing
greater interest at present than al
most any other item of current
news. Among the things sent them
was tewenty pounds of Georgia clov
er honey, contributed by an Atlan
ta dealer. Since their birth the five
babies have been fed corn syrup and
water from eye droppers. Pedfiatics
say a teuapoonful of pure Georgia
honey is equal to one and three
quarter spoons of corn syrup and
four spoons of maple syrup. It is
stlready digested and transfers to
the blood stream without having to
he transformed into invert sugar.
The largest graduating class in
the history of the University of
Georgia, 429 in number, assembled
in Woodruff hall Monday morning to
receive diplomas. The degrees were
conferred by President S. V. San
ford. Among the graduates are

goner Alexander, Julius Wnelchel,

ferson; Thomas Wilson and J. Blake

The University of Georgia School
of Medicine, located in Augusta, a
vrarded diplomas to forty-one stu
dents at the graduation exercises on
Monday tvight. Among the gradu
ates is Dr. Franklin Pendergrass
Holder, second son of Mr. und Mrs.
F. P. Holder. Dr. Holder has made
a very high record in his medical
studies. He was honored a year ago
with the appointment of assistant to
the county physician of Richmond
county, which position he has filled
very successfully. The practice has
Ifven him splendid experience. An
other honor given him was the posi
tion of interne in the University
Hospital, the duties of which he will
nssume at once. An internship in
Che University Hospital is an honor
coveted by all the graduates.
In the great wheat fields of the
northwest and throughout the vast
urres of corn land in Indiana, Illi
nois, lowa and Ohio, crops have wilt
ed and are threatened with destruc
tion because of a lack of rainfall
atnd excessive temperatures. In
southern and eastern Georgia the
rainfall is from three to six inches
above normal, for the one montl* of
May, and crops are in danger be
cause of favorable conditions for the
boll weevil, soil erosion and inabili
ty of planters to cultivate their
crops. Then, too, temperatures
throughout the south have been un
usually cool. On June 4 and 5, in
1933, the mercury registered 92,
while the same dates this year it
climbed only to 79.

* Coast
Brunswick, Ga.., June 2.—Terra
pin which has been furnished by the
tidewater department of the Georgia
Department of Game and Fish, to be
used in the rehabilitating program
for the terrapin industry along the
Georgia coast, have been received
here and “planted.”
The terrapin, numbering about 2,-
000 young Diamond Back variety,
were secured from ‘the Federal Bu
reau of Fisheries at Beaufort, N. C.
They are said to be about one year
old, and are the size of a dollar.
The department hopes to secure an
other shipment next spring.
The terrapin industry once flour
ished along the Georgia coast, many
being employed in the work of op

recent years they have become
scarce, and the industry has de
creased considerably. It is now
hoped to increase the number to
such an extent that the business
can again be profitably engaged.
