Mgr. “Faithful to the Right, Fearless Against the Wrong” Vol. 1 Rising Fawn, Ga., Thursday, May 2, 1879. No. 25 July 17, 1879. “Sic Transit Gloria Mundit,” that is the subject of the oration delivered by H. K. Allison at the closing exercises of the District High School at Trenton, on May 22. For delivery of this oration, which was the most excellent address given in the oratorical contest, Mr. Allison was award¬ ed a gold medal. Editor Darr features the ora¬ tion on the front page of The Gazette. Mr. Allison in later life proved his ability as a speaker, by be¬ coming a leading minister of the Methodist church. * * * . Bathing. Believing that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness,” Editor Darr preached this in his pulpit and also editorially. He writes as follows: “Cleanli¬ ness is next to Godliness.- I do not think an individual can be physically unclean and pure. One of the greatest causes of skin disease is the lack of the use of water. There are at all times and under all circumstan¬ ces a shedding of the epitheli¬ um of the skin, and if one does not bathe regularly the pores become closed, and a hard, dry, scaly skin develops. All you need is a warm room and a few gallons of water, some soap and a sponge. It re quires no skill to use them, and it certainly does preserve the -health. I remember hearing a doctor tell a patient to take a warm bath. The patient afterward said: “That’s the first water that has touched by body for 16 years.” The man that does not wash himself oftener is a brute. * * * Gleaning From Exchanges Forty bushels of wheat to the acre is about the average of the present splendid wheat crop in Georgia.—Scottsboro Citizen. Armstrong, you ought to know that is not so.— Darr. A good natured hen has made her nest in the fireplace in the office of the Morristown Ga¬ zette. She is probably the prop erty of some delinquent sub¬ scriber, and her conscience will not permit her to eat the grain of a master who has not paid for his paper. We are not sur¬ prised at the conduct of this hen, the wonder to us is, that the very rocks don't cry out a- gainst delinquents. * * * Farmer’s Store Advertisement We will pay $1 per bushel for Above is a picture of the Home¬ land Harmony Quartet, of which Dade’s own “Shorty” Bradford is a member. “Shorty” read in The Dade County Times that the Bookmobile Fund was still lacking the necessary money for all of us to have the pleasure of having a library come almost to our very doors and to go to all all good wheat delivered to us within the next thirty days, on account. We will pay 90 cents per bush¬ el in goods at the following pri- ces: Coffee, 5 pounds for $1; sugar, ^ pounds for $1; domestic, 7c and 8c P er yard; prints, 5c to 61/ 2 C Per yard; Brogan shoes, $1.10 to $1.25 per pair. The a- bove are prices of the leading articles; we will sell everything in proportion. We ask you to call and see for yourselves and do not take other people’s word for it that we sell for higher prices. Good supply of bacon con¬ stantly on hand. Sitton’s flour $3 per 100 pounds; bacon, 10c per pound. Respectfully yours, Smith & Brown. * * * Robertson’s Shoe Shop Advertisement Spend your money at home. For cash I will make a first- class French calf, hand-sewed boot for $9 per pair. A pair of men’s gaitors for $6; ladies' hand-sewed kid shoes $5; same if pegged, $4. Rulers sent for self¬ measurement of the feet. T. H. Robertson. Yellow Fever In Memphis Yellow fever still increases in number of cases and fatalities, in Memphis. Telegrams an¬ nounce twenty-two new cases- The official report since July 10, shows 512 cases, with 108 deaths. Local flashes’’ 1 Dry, Dryer, Dryest! Oh! the dust, the offensive dust. Nearly every one has “laid by" his corn. Palm leaf fans are in demand. We notice there is a wood fire raging on the mountain. Unu¬ sual for this time of year. The young people of Trenton are going to the Tennessee Mam¬ moth Cave Saturday. The fruit crop of Dade is light¬ er than it has been for years. Clean out your wells, during this dry weather, while the water is low. Rev. S. Cross preached at this place Sunday, and at night con¬ ducted a glorious prayer-meet¬ ing. Smith and Brown sell goods at rock-bottom prices. H. W. L. Allison is busy laying off land for his children. The polite and handsome Jess Hughes, will be found at Smith and Brown’s store. Call on him- Miss Sallie Allison commenced school at Gray’s school-house on Lookout Mountain, Monday. The corn crops in Walker the schools in the county. Ever thinking of Dade’s welfare, he telephoned to see if a date could be arranged when the Homeland Harmony Quartet could come to Dade to entertain us and also help raise money for the Book¬ mobile Service- Saturday night, April 5, is the date, and the place county seems to be better than the crops are in Dade. We were favored with a visit from James McLean last week. He is fresh from Yale College, and looks red and healthy as do all New Englanders. He is a bright young man and we predict for him a bright future and a useful life- • • • Morganville Letters My Dear Editor: I received your postal card of July 10, asking for my long neg¬ lected arrears to your paper. Well I did not get mad or in¬ sulted about it, for I think I am coming off well about the debt. Instead of being visited by a special agent, or an officer, and perhaps having to talk a good deal and give them a dinner or watermelon, I got off with a polite dun; Mid I can't say I object much to its being sent on a postal card, as the public generally knows more about your own business than you do. I am not mad, either, for I know that a printer must be paid oc¬ casionally, for he must eat like humans do, either at home or visiting his neighbors or kinfolk when he gets too hungry. I am sending herewith the “kale seed" for subscription, al¬ so a few news items. * * • From Our Exchanges Now that our correspondent, Bro. “L. D. Ra Do," has the mag¬ nanimity to come forward before he was asked to do so, and apol¬ ogize to Bro. Darr. If Queriest and Trentonian do not let up on him we will ask Gov. Mitch Pope or some other large man of Dade county to sit down on them— Walker County Messenger. We would suggest that Bro. Marsh of our burg, sit on these critics. He weighs 385 pounds, all meat, bone, muscle and bull- Moral Character if Editorial There nothing which adds, much to the beauty and power of a man, as good moral character. It is his wealth, his influence, his life. It dignifies him in ev¬ ery station, exalts him in every condition an dglorifies him at every period of life. Such a char¬ acter is more to be desired than everything on earth. It makes a man free and inde¬ pendent. No croaking sycophant or treacherous honor-seeker ev¬ er bore such a character. The pure joys of truth and righteousness ever spring in such a person. If a young man but knew how much character would dignify and exalt him, how glorious it would make their prospects even in this life, never would we find yielding to the groveling and base born purposes of the vi¬ cious. Young men, be strong in the right; courageous in your fight against evil; champion the rights of the humble and poor; uphold the dignity of the law; be loyal to your-church, your family and your God, and you will indeed be a MAN. i ; is the Dade County High School. Let’s all turn out to hear Shorty Bradford and the Homeland Harmony Quartet for grand en¬ tertainment, and pay our admis¬ sion gladly, knowing that others will also be entertained by the continuation of the Library Service. Published Weekly—Since 1901. iNew Exclusive Food Store Opened For Business Monday Tatum and Scruggs, who open¬ ed an exclusive food store in the rear of the Dyer Merchantile building, on Monday of this week and are now serving the public with a high quality of groceries, choice meats, high grade feeds, etc- in a most satisfactory man¬ ner. The store is entirely one of self service, except for the dispensing of meats. The young proprietors, both of whom served their country efficiently and honorably during the late world war, need no in¬ troduction to the citizens of Dade County. Montford Tatum, the son of the late W. N. Tatum and Mrs. Tatum; and Newell Scruggs, the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Scruggs, are native sons of Dade county, and their integrity and ability as young business men, is known and appreciated by our citizens throughout the coun¬ ty. Tatum & Scruggs’ food market is the only exclusive food store in Dade county. Their beautiful new store room, furnished in white with new and modern shelves and other fixtures, and lighted by a number of large flourescent lights, makes the store most attractive. There are few counters, but instead, these progressive young food dispensers have installed a number of food baskets moun¬ ted on wheels, and the store is so arranged that any customer who so desires may take their time in leisurely selecting the articles of food they desire. Tatum & Scruggs are also car- tying a line of Iresh vegetables, 1 fruits arid . « many ______ j,___ other items found only in the larger city food markets. These young" business men will devote their entire time to their business, and we predict, with hundreds of their other friends, that they will be won¬ derfully successful in their new and exclusive food store. Watch The Dade County Times for advertisements of their “specials” during the week ends. GEORGIA FORESTRY ASSOCATION TO MEET ON APRIL TENTH The Georgia Forestry Associ¬ ation, whose membership is com¬ posed of land owners and repre¬ sentatives of the state's forest products industries, will hold its twenty-fifth annual convention at the Piedmont Hotel in Atlan¬ ta, on April 10, it is announced by R. H. White, Jr., of Atlanta, president of the association. The several hundred advocates of good forestry will be welcom¬ ed to Atlanta by Governor M. E. Thompson, and the program will feature talks by well known fig¬ ures in Georgia’s forestry circles. Among those to appear on the one-day program are Don J. Weddell, dean of the Georgia School of Forestry; Charles Gil¬ lette, forester, American Pro¬ ducts Industries, Inc.; J. Herbert Stone, United States Forest Ser¬ vice ; B. F. Grant of the Georgia School of Forestry; H. J. Mals- berger, forester, Southern Pulp- wood Conservation Association; W. M. Oettemier, president, Su¬ perior Pine Products Company; and James Fowler, outstanding “tree farmer” of Soperton, Ga. Leo Aikman, editor of the Cobb County Times, will be the lunch¬ eon speaker, and the two ses¬ sions of the meeting will be pre¬ sided over by Kirk Sutlive and Marion J. Wise, vice presidents of the Association. New Home Community To Have Singing On Next Sunday Afternoon The singers in Dade county can’t afford to miss the New Home Singing scheduled for Sun¬ day April 6, at 2 P. M. This promises to be one of the best we’ve had- We are expecting a number of good quartets and singers from out of the com¬ munity. Everybody Is invited. NUMBER 13. National Democratic Party Says Thompson Head In Georgia Now Recognizing Governor M. E. Thompson as head of the Demo¬ cratic party of Georgia in his battle against those who partici¬ pated in the “November bolt,” the National Democratic Com¬ mittee has removed Edgar Dun¬ lap, Talmadge supporter, as chairman of the Jefferson Day Committee, and designated State Treasurer George B. Hamilton to the place on Mr. Thompson’s re¬ commendation. The recognition of the Georgia Chief Executive as head of the State party had been forcast ever since the historic Supreme Court decision that branded as unlawful the seizure of the Exe¬ cutive Offices by Herman Tal¬ madge, after an illegal “election” by members of the legislature. Spokesmen for the Harris- Talmadge- Peters machine, which sought to legislate itself into supreme power through a repeal of all primary laws, made sharp retorts to the announce¬ ment by Executive Director Gael Sullivan and Treasurer George Killion of the National Commit¬ tee. Said Herman Talmadge: “We don’t give a dam what Washington thinks about it.” Mr. Hamilton was recommend- de for the post by Governor Thompson, National Committee- nam E. D. Rivers and Naitonal Committeewoman Virginia Pol- hill Price. Capitol observers expected a lively political battle for control of the State party. The Harris- Talmadge-Peters group will be assailed as “bolters” because of the candidacy of Herman Tal- nominee a ! for al “‘ Governor I' Dem V in' °"f x946. c - The announcement of national party recognition for Governor Thompson's leadership, however, did much to obtain a rapid settle¬ ment of the controversy. Geor¬ gia has never “bolted” the National Democratic ticket, it was pointed out. EASTER PRAYER Almighty God, who through thine only-begotten Son Jesus Christ hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of ever¬ lasting life; We humbly beseech thee that, as by thy special grace preventing us thou dost put into our minds good desires, so by thy continual help we may bring the same good effect. Amen. “Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reck¬ on ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin: but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans vi. 9- EASTER SERVICES AT THE METHODIST CHURCHES Early morning Easter services at the Trenton Methodist church Sunday, April 6, at 7 A.
