Many people in this county were
surprised and their hearts saddened
when information reached here that
George D. Appleby died last Sat
urday morning in an hospital in At
lanta.
The immediate cause of his death
was a heart malady.
His body was brought to Jeffer
son where funeral services were
conducted in the First Baptist
church by the pastor of the church,
Rev. J. D. Matheson, assisted by
Dr. M .H. Massey, on Sunday after
noon at 3 o’clock. The church was
filled with family and friends.
The large and beautiful floral of
ferings attested the esteen in which
the deceased was held. Pall bear
rs were R. J. Kelly, A. H. Moore, C.
E. Hardy, J. F. Eckles, Bob Davison
and Sam Hood. •
The soft tones of the church organ
rendered by Miss Mabeth Storey
added to the solemnity and sad
ness of the occasion.
Mr. Appleby was T3 years old and
was a native of Jackson County.
Thirty five years ago he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Annie Stock
ton who survives him. Also, three
children, George D. Appleby,
Gulf Port, Mrs. H. M. Jarrett of.

ta; two brothers, H. M., Atlanta, and
O. T. AppleLy of Columbus, two
grand children and several nieces
and nephews.
At the time of Mr. Appleby’s
death he was office manager of The
Jackson Electric Membership Cor
poration. For several yeai's he was
Jefferson’s efficient postmaster. He
had also held positions with the
North-Eastern Bank of Commrece
and the First National Bank of Jef
ferson. In whatever position he serv
ed, he was noted for his efficiency
and courtesy. He made friends of
every one with whom he came in
touch and he was without enemies.
In his death we sympathize with
his wife and other members of his
family.

FALL FESTIVAL
AT HOSCHTON
FRIDAY EVENING
The Hoschton School auditorium
will be the scene of a gala evening,
Friday, Oct. 22nd. There will be
something interesting every minute
of the time; so make plans to be
present.
The school cafeteria will open at
6 oclock, and if you want southern
style fried oysters, and old fash
ioned chicken stew, home made
cake, apple pie and ice ci'eam and
many other good things to eat, then
dine with us, and spend the even
ing playing Bingo, walking for real
home-made cakes, choosing a King
and Queen, selecting the cutest ba
by, fishing at the fish pond, or may
be you would like to shop at the
“Old Country Stoi'e,” where prices
are right and bargains good.
There will be many booths where
you can find the things you like to
eat and see.
Someone is going to get a beauti
ful chenille spread, an OIC pig, and
a big fat turkey.
We serve our pupils a Type A
meal each day for only fifteen cents,
including pasteurized milk. This can
be done because the P. T. A., the
faculty, the board of trustees, the
patrons and many friends cooperate
by making the “Fall Festival” a suc
cess.
Our school says ‘Thank You,” to
each one who helps to make the
evening a success.
Come one, come many, and let’s
have a good time together and make
the Festival the best one yet.
JEFFERSON SCHOOL
NEWS
Our present schedule of class
Work jembraces only four arid one
half hours. Classes begin at 8:00
o’clock and continue until 12:30. This
practice of setting up one session
days to allow school boys and girls,
to assist in cotton picking began
during the critical labor shortage of
war days and has now become cus
tomai-y. However, it is thought that
our full schedule of work will be
resumed by November 1. Everyone
loses, to a certain extent, during one
session days. Those who fail to at
tend school regularly during this
cotton picking schedule find them
selves very far behind in their.
school work. This fact probably re
veals that much more is accomplish
ed even within the short time of
four and one half hours than we
may realize.
The student body of Jefferson
High School will enjoy a holiday
Thursday, October 21, since the
school faculty will attend a Georgia
Education meeting in Gainesville
on this day. Our teachers inform us
that much thought is now being
given to a minimum foundation
program for Georgia schools. Our
State Legislature will be asked to
appropriate approximately $43,000,-
000 for a total Georgia Education
program in addition to the present
$40,000,000 appropriation which will
total approximately $83,000,000.
Many Georgia radio stations are
now broadcasting detailed informa
tion concerning the merits of such
a program.
Upon receipt of report cards,
many pupils are pleased with their
ratings. Some, of course, are un
happy because they failed to apply
themselves. Teachers will probably
admit that it is difficult to grade
every child perfectly and exactly.
A consolation is afforded each of
us when we realize that training and
what we call education is the thing
which is uppermost and certainly
counts most and not the marks
themselves. These ratings are rela
tive at best and in the opinion of
many, merely shqw the “way the
wind is blowing.” For example, are
lie-detectors absolutely dependable?
Then, we must conclude pupils may
know more or less than can be
measured by tests and teacher rat
ings.
The seventh grade desires to
memorize a well-known poem for
each month. The ones selected for
September and October were
“Trees” by Joyce Kilmer and “L’
Envoi" by Rudyard Kipling.

CREEK DRAINAGE
DISCUSSED AT
ROTARY LUNCHEON
Former President of Gainesville
Rotary, Tom Gallaway, spoke on
Soil Conservation and Drainage at
Rotary Tuesday. His speech was of
special interest because of his famil
iarity with a local project, the drain
age of Curry’s Creek. He said, “I
have no doubt that money will be
produced for this project. In fact,
there is every assurance that Cur
ry’s Creek will be drained and deep
ened. Senator Russell is not only in
favor of this, but he is very muctv
concerned about what shall be done
to prevent the creek filling up
again. Some years ago drainage
tricts were organized, lands were
assessed, money was raised and
spent on deepening streams, but.
they filled up again. It is the pur
pose of those connected with this
project that this will not be the case
. ... .. ■ .
with this stream. It will require the
cooperation of the Government,
road builders and farmers to accom
plish the very important under
taking.”
Preceding the meeting of Jeffer
son Rotary, Mayor Johnson showed
Mr. Gallaway the new water sys
tem, the street paving and other
improvements in the city, as well
as familiarizing him with the Cur
ry’s Cieek project.
Mr. Gallaway was active in or
ganizing the Oconee River Soil Con
servation District which took place
several years ago. Program Chair
man J. C. Alexander asked John L.
Anderson to present the speaker.
Guests present were R. S. John
son and George Wells. Two mem
bers were absent.
President Aderhold read a letter
frofft District Governor Sidney O
Smith, who expxessed pleasure that

WEEK OF PRAYER
AND MISSIONS
PROGRAM OCT. 25-28
On next Monday afternoon, Oc
[ tober 25, at the Methodist chui'ch
the Women's Society of Christian
Service is beginning a Study clasii
which will continue through Thurs
day afternoon. We will begin at 3
o'clock and will hold one and one
half hour classes. It is our wish that
ladies of all churches, who so de
sire, will join us in the session.
On Monday afternoon a program
will be presented in observance of
the Week of Prayer and on the fol
lowing 3 days a study will be held
on the book. “China—Twilight or
Dawn,” by Dr. Frank W. Price. The
writer was born by missionary pa
rents in China and knows well the
country and the people of whom
he writes, and we feel that this stu-
dy will be most enlightening and
interesting, especially today when
that great country is so much in the
limelight of world affairs. Many
times during the present century
the Western world has been chal
lenged to look at China. From the
Boxer uprising in 1900 to the de
feat of a common enemy in 1945
Attention has again and again been
focused upon China and her people
During this study we hope to learn
more of her physical environment,
her people, their history and cul
ture. The ideas that rule their
minds, and the motives that control
their action, and last but surely not
least, the strides "which the Chris
tion church is making in that coun
try.
The Week of Prayer program on
Monday afternoon will be presented
by Mrs. H. R. Howell and the col
lection will go to the schools in Chi
na and Community Centers in the
Alaska mission.
On the last afternoon of the class
es an exhibit of Chinese articles will
be displayed.
Try to be present at all the classes
if possible. If you are unable to an d
this, do attend as many as you are
able. . -
