CULLEY, Bus- Mgr. “Faithful to the Right, Fearless Against the Wrong” Vol. 1 Rising Fawn, Ga., Thursday, May 2, 1879. No. 25 Georgia Farm Bureau Sets Membership Goal For the Current Year Expect Membership of 70,000 By End of 1947 wiison E. Still, head of the aepartment of organization and research of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, following tour of North Georgia counties, stated this week that “I am con fident we will reach a member¬ ship of 70,000 farm families well in advance of the date of the state convention,” which is scheduled to be held next Nov. The new GFB official assumed his duties with the organization last month. His first tour was in the northern portion of the state where the membership is not as large as that in the middle and southern part, and Mr. Still expressed optimism over the prospects of organizing new Farm Bureau chapters “because H WILSON E. STILL Director of Organization and Research, G. F. B. F. farmers and businessmen recog¬ nize the importance of organ¬ ization to raise the economic lever of those who produce the food and fiber of our state.” At the first 1947 meeting of the GFB Board of Directors, neld in Macon last January, the group set the membership goal ac 70,000 farm families this year, and 100,000 in 1948, it was an¬ nounced this week from Macon headquarters of the farm organ¬ ization. Mr. Still stated that “Murray County is leading the Seventh District in membership thus far, with increased interest being shown by farmers in other co¬ unties.” He asserted that “the Ninth District will go forward by leaps and bounds this year,” pointing to the activity of farm¬ ers in Jackson, Hall, Gwinnett, Rabun, Dawson and Stephens, in organizing new FB chapters thus far in 1947. Mr. Still visited Meriwether County Thursday of last week and reported “127 farm families joined the organization within a period of 10 days, and after electing permanent officers for 1947, the group set their 1947 goal at 1,000 memberships.” At the end of last year only two members were reported from Meriwether, state office records show. Mr. Still is meeting with en- couraging response wherever he has gone in the interest of the Bureau and he freely pre dieted this week that “if the pre- sent trend continues throughout this year, we should pass the 70,000 membership goal before the 1947 convention convenes.” The height of human wisdom is to bring our tempers down to our circumstances and to make a calm within, under the weight nf the greatest storm without.— Defoe- June 17, 1879 on tne ironc page of this issue ox xxie uaae county Gazetce, is a xong communication from the pen oi the iate M. A. B. (Brad) Tatum, one of Dade’s leading citizens, who at that time was representative in the General nsstmoiy of Georgia- The article was in reply to communication from a citizen who signed his initials, “J. W. N,” which had appeared in a pre¬ vious issue of The Gazette. “J. W. N.’ had given much credit to an “Inspection Bureau,” ap¬ pointed by the Governor of Geor¬ gia, and headed by a Dr. Janes, to make a survey of the natural resources of the State, including farm lands and forests and make recommendations as to their proper conservation and develop¬ ment. Mr. Tatum takes issue with “J. W. N.” and asserts that the cost of this survey by so-called busi¬ ness experts, has cost far more chan it was worth. The letter of Mr- Tatum is crit¬ ical of the services of Mr. Janes, wnose advice has cost the tax payers the tidy sum of $14,000 per year. Mr. Tatum writes: “I do think, sir, that these educated gentle¬ men could afford to give us the results of their study and expe¬ rience for a less sum than that; especially when they are so zeal¬ ous in the interest of their coun¬ try and their fellow-man. Let our own people be made content¬ ed and hapgy, and we^will need no New Englanders to teach us the way to prosperity and suc¬ cess.' The letter is too long to pub¬ lish in its entirety. Some Wheat, Who Can Beat It? We were shown the other day bunch of wheat grown by our friend Flavius Fricks, that was grown on his farm in Walk¬ county. The bunch of wheat, from one grain, consisted twenty-eight stalks, four and feet tall, and contain¬ by actual count, 1344 grains. Who can beat this yield? Let the farmers send in spec¬ of their wheat grown in old Dade. * * * A Trip To Nickojack A long story describing a pic¬ enjoyed by four “Trenton- to Cole City, where they joined by other young peo¬ and then on to Nickojack located near Whiteside, The story is filled wth superl¬ adjectives expressing the of their trip on horseback to City; the thrill and excite¬ of their ride down the pre¬ mountain-side on a nar- railroad; their won¬ and awe of the grandeur the scenes found in the cav¬ “deep in the heart of moth¬ earth.” “A tired but happy quartette home late in the even¬ and win never forget our experiences.” * * * Local Flashes Masonic festival at Evatt next Thursday- What a time in store for all!

The gardens in this communi¬ are suffering badly for rain. A little son of Frank Morgan from the second story of the house and broke his arm; hope he will soon recover. It is estimated that there will $3,000,000 available to pay old Confederate Veter¬ their long overdue pensions, this month. Miss Lee, daughter of our re¬ leader, the late Gen. Rob¬ E. Lee, is soon to marry a English merchant, of Devoted, to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1947. Birmingham, England. Rigs of improved breed have ueen mirouduced in the Fij Is¬ lands, and the consumption of missionaries is gradually decreas¬ ing. it is reported that yellow fever nas made its appearance in Vicksburg, Miss. It is bitterly denied by the Mayor and citi zens of that city. Dr. J. W. Russey, a prominent physician of Winchester, Tenn has removed to Rising Fawn Fur¬ nace, where he will practice medicine. The Doctor is a quiet, thoughtful looking gentleman. We are pained to chronicle the death of Uncle Johnnie Stewart, which occurred Wednesday night, llth instant. He was one of Dade’s oldest and best citizens. We will look for an obituary. We return our sincere thanks to Bro. Marsh for his acts of kindness during our recent ill¬ ness. He has a great soul, equal¬ led in size only by his ponderous body. He weighs only 375 pounds.—Editor. Our good friend P. H. Tatum, of Porterville, Ala., writes us: “Continue our paper, we don’t want to miss a copy. I will go up to Rising Fawn within a week or two, and hand you the ‘kale seed' for another year.” Miss Mary Pace opened a sub¬ scription school at Trenton Mon¬ day, with 60 students. Miss Ma¬ ry is said to be a grand instruct¬ or, and we hope she may have success. iL * * £v«*i Jt • * Yesterday T. It.

Times. * * • Communications We have on hand several ar¬ ticles that will find a quiet rest in the labyrinthian waste bas¬ ket. The one from Turnip Salad Bend, for the want of a real name; the one from Fox Moun¬ tain for want of orthography, rhetoric and general interest; the one from “Owleyes,” because It contains about the same things we are publish! lg in this week's Gazette. Others are crowded out for. lack of space, but will appear next week. » * * A four-inch single column ad¬ vertisement states that Webb Tatum is now local agent for Britton's Nursery, Estill Springs, Tenn. Editor Darr writes. "We your attention to Webb Ta¬ tum’s ad in The Gazette. Webb well known, truthful and re¬ liable. He won’t sell you a thorn bush for an apple tree. Trade with him.” The rock fence 1s only part¬ finished, and the tall trees standing so thick menace the tombstones by falling limbs. Friends, it is a shame to our beloved dead in this We hope that this neglected will soon be cleaned Fire at Midnight Fire! Fire! It was a female that called to us from the House, at low twelve, plus minutes, and told us our pile was on fire. We hur¬ and without any attention dress, rushed frantically to back-yard, where we found eight or ten loads of dry timber all on fire, and flames curling almost as as our house, and too dan¬ near it for comfort. With the kindly aid of our Capt. E. T. Rogers and Ransom and Fricks, who as meagrely dressed as I we succeeded in extinguish¬ ing the flames. Mr. Havron, from Jasper, Ten¬ nessee, is “making up” a sub¬ scription school at Wildwood. We know Mr. Havron well and can recommend him as being a gentleman and a scholar, and the citizens of Wildwood com¬ munity are lucky to have a man of his ability teach their chil¬ dren. • • * Northern Hearts Must Under¬ stand Excerpts from an address de¬ livered by Georgia's Governor Colquitt after he had attended a Sunday School Convention in Brooklyn during the week of June 10, 1879. Governor Colquitt was invited to fill Henry Ward Beecher’s pulpit, also the Brooklyn Taber- ancle presided over by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmadge, two of the world’s most noted divines, while in the Northern city. Of the cit¬ izens of the North, Gov. Colquitt says: . "I tell you, I cannot be de¬ ceived as to my estimate of the people of the North They want peace and harmony just as much as we do. They may be misled by their politic¬ ians and misrepresented by their papers, but I tell you that at the heart they are sympath¬ etic and harmonious. There was no misundrestanding the heart¬ iness and the unanimity with which they applauded every¬ thing that alluded in the slight¬ est manner to a complete na¬ tional reconciliation and a com¬ plete peace of the sections. Whenever the Northern mind is relieved of the errors into which it has been led, there will be a good triumph of the Demo¬ cratic Party. The flames that were enkind¬ led by the'Tate unpleasant¬ ness” have been kept alive by partisan leaders for partisan ends. Whoever t$e horrid .panor¬ ama of war and courage, that is now continually pictured in their frenzied minds is with¬ drawn, they can see the ensigns of Peace and Love that the cit- fc-ns of Dixie that are being held aloft by friendly Southern hands. HOLMES—BIBLE A wedding of much interest to the couple’s wide circle of friends was that of Elbert Holmes and Miss Emma Jane Bible, which was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Forester Sunday afternoon. The Rever¬ end John G. Norh, pastor of New England Baptist church of- feiated. The ceremony was wit¬ nessed by a few close friends and relatives- The bride is the charming and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bible of the Sul¬ phur Springs community. She is a graduate of Dade County High School and was an outstanding student of Berry College; being a member of the class of '46. She is now a member of the faculty of Dade High School. The groom s the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Holmes of Tren¬ ton. and attended Dade High. The couple will make their home on the farm of the groom’s parents south of Trenton. A host of friends wish for the young couple much success and happiness throughout their jour¬ ney in life.

It has long been an established fact that whiskey and gasoline can not mix, yet there are men who seem to believe this to be a fallacy, and dare to take the risk, regardless of consequences. Homer Bell, a citizen of Sylvania, Ala., took this risk on Thursday evening, March 13, and his triumph ended when he had wrecked his truck, seriously in¬ jured a friend who was riding with him, and found himself locked up in the Dade county jail. Returning from Chattanooga Thursday, accompanied by Clif¬ ford Anderson, also a resident of Sylvania, Ala., Bell ran the truck which he was driving,off the concrete highway in Trenton, almost opposite the residence of W. A. Scruggs, and turning it completely over in a ditch along¬ side the highway. Bell was thrown from the truck, and not’ badly injured, but his companion Clifford Anderson, received a broken jaw and numerous bodily cuts and bruises, and was rushed to a Chattanooga hospital for treatment. Bell was arrested by city polieceman J. H. Baty, charged with driving while in¬ toxicated, and also with speed¬ ing in the city limits. After remaining in the county jail Thursday night, Bell was tried in City Recorder's Court Friday morning, and upon a plea of guilty to both charges, Re¬ corder Wilkins fined him the full limit, $50.00 for driving while in¬ toxicated, r ’d $50.00 for speeding in the city limits. Bell was also taxed $9.00 cost in th. cases, making the neat snip. oi 3109.00. which he paid for his spree. Upon payment of (he fine and cost , Bell was released from jail taking his truck, which was not badly smashed in the wreck, he returned home, a wiser man perhaps, but one with a flattened pocketbook. After undergoing treatment in a Chattanooga hospital for a day or two, Anderson returned home to recover from his injures that might have been much more serious, but for the hand of Providence.
