Is Civil War Over?
Town Line Ponders
Re-Entering Union
TOWN LINE, N. Y., July 26—
(AP)—Town Line, a hamlet 14
miles east of Buffalo, is wonder¬
ing if it constitutes all that re¬
mains of the Confederate States
of America since Dade County
and Vicksburg, Miss., returned
to the Union July 4th.
The tiny community, situated
half in the town of Lancaster
and half in the town of Alden,
seceded from the Union in 1861.
Supervisor John H. Cooke, of
Alden, said yesterday he believes
it is still legally outside the
Union because the secession has
never bean rescinded by the
community’s voters.
“It’s about time we did some¬
thing about it,” he asserted.
“Both Supervisor Joseph F.
Schaefer, of Lancaster, and I
have decided we should take
steps immediately to bring Town
Line back into the Union. If
Georgia and Mississippi feel the
war is over, so do we.”
The story of the secession, be¬
lieved unparalleled north of the
Mason-Dixon Line, is recorded
in old newspapers and records in
the Lancaster Library. They
show that Town Line’s 125 vot¬
ers met one night late in 1861
and after a stormy session voted
85 to 40 for secession and cheer¬
ed Jeff Davis.
The meeting took place in a
schoolhouse which stili stands
and is now used as a black¬
smith shop. The desk on which
the articles of secession were
signed is still there, Cook? said.
Why Town Line took such un¬
precedented action has never
been satisfactorily explained.
Most of its inhabitants were of
Vermont or German ancestry
and had no known economic
and sentimental ties with the
Confederacy. Lancaster, how¬
ever, was a hotbed of Copper¬
heads, and even Buffalo and
Erie County gave Lincoln a
scant majority in this
election.

ready taken up their full al¬
lowance for this year in other

$1.83, and limestone for a pay¬
ment of 69c per ton. The balance
which for basic slag is $8.80, and

ance and liquidated when the

DADE COUNTY TO PARTICIPATE IN POST
WAR PERIOD RURAL HOUSING PROJECT
WILL JOIN WITH OTHER PROGRESSIVE NORTH GEORGIA
COUNTIES TO CREATE REGIONAL AUTHORITY.
Dade County is joining nine other progressive north Georgia
counties in forming a Regional Housing Authority, which will
qualify under the Federal Housing Authority, for post war period
rural housing.
The first step under the law is that notice of public hearing
be given the public of this housing program by advertisement in
the local newspaper of each county. Ordinary J. M. Carroll is com¬
plying with this law, and a notice of date of hearing in the Court
of Ordinary, August 6, is appearing in this issue of The Dade
After the hearing in the Court
of Ordinary, if permission is
granted, Dade County will join
Chattooga, Walker, Catoosa,
Whitfield, Gordon, Murray, Fan¬
nin, Gilmer and Picken counties
in creating a Regional Housing
Authority.
After creation of Regional Au¬
thority, an application is made
to the Federal Public Housing
Authority, in Washington, D. C.,
for an allocation of funds with
which to build.
Provided this application is
approved, and there is every
reason to believe it will be, a
loan contract is entered into and
funds made available to authori¬
ty for construction. The authori¬
ty issues its notes to secure this
loan, which are in no wise an
obligation upon the county. Our
Supreme Court has ruled on this
fact.
The objective of this Hous¬
ing Authority is to build for in¬
dividual farmers comfortable,
durable and modern homes, not
to exceed $4,000 in cost and to
rent them back to the owners of
the farms, or to some tenant of
his selection. The farmer for
whom the home has been built
will pay 1-40 of the cost of con¬
struction annually for rent, and
thereafter he owns the home.
To be eligible for the purchase
of a new and modern home und¬
er the Federal Public Housing
Authority, a farmer must de¬
molish a house that is unsafe
and insanitary, or one no longer
fit for human habitation.
An applicant for purchase of
a new and modern home must
prove to the Housing Authority
that another house which was
unsafe, insanitary or not fit for
human habitation, has been de¬
molished, before they will con¬
sider an application for a loan.
Under the long term, liberal
inducements provided by the
Federal Public Housing Authori¬
ty, it is estimated that fully one
third of the farmers residing in
the counties constituting our
Regional Housing Authority, will
make application for funds with
which to erect new and modern
homes within the next three
years.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our
daughter and sister, Evelyn Em¬
ma Cloud, who passed away two
years ago today, July 22, 1943.
Just two years ago today
God took our darling Evelyn a-
way;
But in our hearts she lingers
still,
And we know that she always
will. N
To our Saviour we can ever say,
“Thank you for the little child
You loaned us for a little while;
We thank you too,
For Marilyn Sue,
Whom you sent to gladden our
days;
But even she cannot remove the
sadness
Of the day you called Evelyn
away.”
Heaven today seems nearer and
dearer,
Because our precious babe a-
waits us there.

Parents.

Scenic Northwest
Georgia, Inc., Post
Planners Get Charter
At a meeting of a number of
far-sighted business and pro¬
fessional men, whose vision
reaches beyond the horizon of
today, held in Dalton, on June
29, they organized themselves
into an active live-wire working
group with the idea of making
their dreams of today come true
tomorrow.
The new organization has been
chartered under the name of
Scenic Northwest Georgia, In¬
corporated, and their officers
and directors are now ready to
begin an active campaign for the
beautification of all our historic
spots with the idea to attract
tourists to visit our state.
There are 11 northwest coun¬
ties represented in the organiza¬
tion, each of which have one or
more historic shrines that will
be most interesting to visit when
they are properly beautified and
advertised.
Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Gor¬
don, Bartow, Murray, Chattooga,
Whitfield, Cobb, Floyd and Polk
counties, each with duly quali¬
fied representatives chosen from
the most progressive business
men, compose the organization.
The incorporators were: D. E.
Morrison, Dade; J. C. Weeks,
Catoosa; F. F. Starr, Whitfield;
J. D. Nelson, Gordon; M. L. Fleet-
wood, Bartow; George McMillan,
Cobb; R. E. Chambers, Murray;
S. W. Farris, Walker; John I.
Jarvis, Floyd; J. H. Lopez, Polk,
and D. L. McWhorter, Chattoo¬
ga, and at their first meeting-
held in Dalton, they elected of¬
ficers and began planning for
the future.
M. L. Fleetwood, of Csrrters-
ville, was elected chairman of
the organization; Fred F. Starr,
a Dalton attorney, was chosen
as vice chairman; Paul T. Har-
| bor, Chamber secretary of the Cartersville
of Commerce, was e-
lected secretary, and D. E. Mor¬
rison, of Trenton; R. E. Chamb¬
ers, Chatsworth; Jno. H. Lopez,
Cedartown, and Geo. H. McMil¬
lan, of Ackworth, were named
as directors of the new organiza¬
tion.
On Saturday, July 21, a second
meeting of the “Better Home
Towners” was held in Dalton.
Cof. Douglas Morrison, repre¬
senting Dade County, being
present.
After a prolonged discussion
of a constitution and by-laws
for the organization, the task
was not completed, being post¬
poned for consideration at a
future meeting.
Members of the organization
and their guests were entertain¬
ed at dinner by the Dalton dele¬
gates, at the Dalton Hotel.
During the afternoon meeting
Judge M. C. Tarver, represent¬
ing the 7th Congressional district
addressed the delegates, being
most enthusiastic about the
possible attainments of the or¬
ganization, and urged that ev¬
ery effort be put forth to en¬
large the organization member¬
ship until every hamlet and
community in the entire district
has an active representative in
the organization.
Judge Tarver stated that $11,-
000,000 had been appropriated
000,000 had been appropriated
by the Federal government ::or
the use of highway construc¬
tion in Georgia, if and when, the
state provides an equal amount
for this purpose.
Appropriations have also been
made for the development of
water po-wer of Georgia, which
will tie in with highway build¬
ing and the beautification of our
natural and historic beauty
spots in northwest Georgia, of
which Judge Tarver enthusiat-
tically states, is not equaled in
the entire State of Georgia.
Judge Tarver’s address was ap¬
preciated and greatly enjoyed by
the delegates attending the Bet¬
ter-Home-Town meeting.
Macklin Reeves
In Boot Training
Otis Macklin Reeves, son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Reeves, who
was inducted into Uncle Sam’s
big fighting army on the 17th,
writes his parents from Camp
Clay, La., where he is receiving
his boot training.
Like all young soldiers enter¬
ing the army service, Mack will
receive a long period of training
before being prepared to enter
the battle zones of the Pacific,
which we all hope will be over
long before he has completed his
military training for warfare.
