v
Rossville, Ga. Jan. I—Prospects
are bright for a prosperous year at
this place during 1924. Much building
is noted in and around Rossville and
several plans are being laid for more
extensive building during the present
vear. Business was especially ' good
during the Christmas season and the
merchants are well pleased with the
results of their holiday trade.
Postmaster C. R. Jones reports that
the greatest rush in the history og the
Post Office at his place occurred dur
ing the past holidays. The sales of
this office have increased enough the
past year to place it in the first class
place and sdiout the first of July of
this year, if will take its place as a
first class office. At this time a re
organization of the office will be ef
fected and it is highly probably that
a new federal post office will be built
at this place. The lot for this building
which lies on Chickamauga Avenue
directly north of the Morrison resi
dence was purchased about eight
years ago and it has been hoped from
time to time that the Government
would appropriate the necessary
funds for the erection of the new of
fice. Senator Harris and Congress
man Lee are actively engaged in se
curing the funds for this building and
no doubt a definite announcement Q.f
the plans for the building will soon
be made. The beautiful lot, which has
•been selected for the postoffice com
mands a fine view of the business sec
tion of the town and is a very desir
able, location.
At the First Baptist church at this
place Christmas night, a voluntary
offering of One-thousand and twenty
dollars was laid on plate to be used
toward diminishing the church debt.
This handsome church, which was
erected about six years ago at a cost
of $50,000 is now only about $6,000
in debt. The members of the church
gave a S2O gold piece to their pastor
Rev. O’Quinn as a Christmas gift and
he in return gave it as a voluntary of
fering to the building fund.
The S. S. of this church presented
their Superintendent, Anderson Mc
■Culley with a handsome gold watch
and chain as a token of his faithful
services during the past year.

CLAUDE W. ROUTT
LAID TO REST HERE
TUESDAY MORNING
The announcement of the death on
Monday morning of Claude W. Routt
in Chattanooga, came as a source of
deep regret by the people of this com
munity lyid the county. While little
hope had been entertained for his
recovery the past several days, the
sad intelligence of his passing came
as a shock.
For several months he had relin
quished his position at the LaFayette
I Roller Mills in search for a restora-
I tion of health, and for a time his con
| dition apparently improved. In the
fall he went west but came home in
December and gradually grew worse
until the end last Sunday night. He
was forty five years of age.
For twenty and more years Mr.
Routt lived in LaFayette and all dur
ing this time he was connected with
the LaFayete Roller Mils. He was a
member of the Christian church and
i held his membership in his old home
| church at Tullahoma, Tenn. A promi
nent and active Odd Fellow, he served
as Noble Grand of the LaFayette
Lodge and was a faithful attendant
until recent years. He was also a Ma
son and held his membership in Wes
; tern Lodge here. He was the son of
Richard and Catherine Pierce Routt
of Lincoln County, Tenn., his father
having been a captain in the Gonfeder
ate army during th.e Sixties.
Mr. Routt was of a quiet deposi
tion, he could not tolerate sham,
honest to a fault, conscientious, and
though he never sought preferment,
his retiring nature never letting him
be discovered to the world, yet his
kindly touch, the confidence he in
spired in one, made friends for him
who loved him for what he was.
Those who were closest to him knew
his real worth, and miss him and all
his friendship meant to them.
Surviving him are his widow and a
daughter, Miss Mildred Routt; three
sisters —Miss Katherine Routt, of
Washington, D. C., Miss Daisy Routt
and Mrs. S. Hughes of Los Angeles,
Cal., and a brother, Bernard Routt, of
Louisville, Ky.
Fqnergl services were held Tues
day morning at ten o’clock from the
Methodist church, conducted by Rev.
J. W. Brinsfield assisted by Rev. I.
S. Leonard. Members of the Odd Fel
low Fraternity formed an honorary
escort. The pall bearers were also
from this order. The profusion of
lovely floral tributes banked in the
pulpit place, from orders, organiza
tions and individuals, attested to the
high esteem in which the deceased
was held. The Odd Fellows’, Masons’,
Ku Klux and LaFayette Roller Mills
offerings were especialy beautiful, as
well as numerous individual tributes
from Chattanooga, Walker county
and elsewhere.
Following the services at the
church the body was taken to the La-
Fayette cemetery where it was in
charge of the Odd Fellows’ order, and
lowered to its last resting place, in j
full Odd Fellow rites.
Friends of the bereaved family ex
tend their heartfelt sympathy during
these sad hours.

“CITIZEN” ASKS SOME
PERTINENT QUESTIONS
What will the new year bring to
our little city? Will we have a bet
ter and cleaner city both literally and
morally or will we go backwards
both ? Will the laws of our city and
state be enforced or will they be
trampled under foot? Will the speed
er be allowed to increase his speed or
will the laws of the city be enforced
and the lives of our people protected?
Will the bootlegger be encouarged by
our patronizing him to carry on his
trade or will we as good citizens help
our officers put him out of business?
Will the business men of our city ob
serve the Sabbath or will all places
of business be opened on Sundays?
Will the church members be better
attendants on prayer meeting, Sun
day schools and preaching services,
or will they grow still more careless
about these things? Which will our
good women be more interested in,
the Missionary societies and church
work or the clubs and card parties?
If our city was on the balance be
tween good and bad which side of the
scales would we as individuals cast
our influence?
Some of the above questions will
be answered by our city and state
officials; others will be answered by
us as individuals. What will the an
