GEORGIA'S HISTORIC FORT
In the mood for a pienic, far away from erowds and noise? Yoa
eouldn’t do any better than Fort Yargo. There are grills and tables for
your use and peaceful woods to explore. The fort itself, now empty and
silent, iz & reminder of the vivid and exciting events which occurred
here in the past.
Yargo was one of four forts built before 1300 by a family es land
ewners named Humphrey. The towns of Commerece and Jefferson grew
up around two of them; a third was in the colony Talasee and Yargo
was constructed in 1792 near Jug Tavern (now known as Winder.)
These defenses were necessary because settlers were caught in the
middle of 2 Cherokee-Creek feud for possession of the general area. The
Indians didn't always confine their warring to each other. By 1792,
settlers suspected a big offensive by the Cherokees was imminent. 1f
they eould push the Creeks out, the Cherokees probably wouldn't over
look the settlers either.
Y argo was often under attack, but obviously it withstood all assaults
well. Considering its age, it iz in excellent condition. Only porches and a
stockade, enslosing the fort with a nearby spring, are gone. The two
story blockhouse has one large room on each floor 2nd the inside stair
way is still sturdy enough to climb.
Y argo, incidentally, has changed addresses four times without mov
ing. As new counties were carved from old, the fort found itself in
Franklin, Jackson, Walton and finally Barrow County.
Several years ago, Yargo became a state park. Now there are plans
to imorove present facilities by adding cabins, trailer park and camping
area. A proposed 200 acre lake will provide additional recreation.
Fort Yargo is located three miles southeast of Winder, or Georgia
Highway 11. ~—by SARAR (\'NNER

The medical care of this

the beginning of school.

School studies we begin this
month ‘a study of our Basic
Christian Beliefs. All of our
Protestant denomination will
be following the same studies, all
around the world, and we can
drop into any church we happen to
be passing and join in the study
without fear of offense or mis
understanding. We can express
our opinions freely and frankly,
without fear of having to give an
account of our convictions to some
one who may not believe in our
ideas about God.

What a comfort to know weml
not surrounded by a society of |
atheists, who can’t trust evens
themselves! Who are so filled so |
with hatred and infidelity that|
no one can trust any one else, |
or believe what he says. I
What a comfort to believe in !
God. God who is truth, love, mer- |
cy, and goodness. God who is|
Spirit, and comforts us in Spi-i
rit.
It is good for us to set out again 1
to study these Basic Christians |
Beliefs and remind ourselves thati
those who follow these beliefs are
to be trusted and will trust us.
Let us rejoice that we have the
basis of trust, confidence and love
as the foundation of our society,
and guard it as the most precious
of our possessions.

| SMALL PECAN CROP
{ Georgia's pecan crop is now
| predicted at only 14 million
| pounds, the smallest crop s.nce
| 1957. This is well below last
| year's record crop of over 78
| million pounds, according to
'the Georgia Crop Reporting
;Service. Lower pecan vields
| are attributed to poor pollina=
tion due to low temperatures
during the critical period. Pro
longed dry spells during May
‘and July are also factors in
the low yvield.
