Deer Head News ,
1
The general health of this
community is good; James and
Johnny Austin have been sick
for some time, but at this writing
they are convalescing. Since
you received a letter from Deer
Head, the white angel of death
has visited us and carried to the
rea l ms of eternal bliss some of
our best and dearest friends.
Corn crops at present look
promising.
Not many days ago I met Mr.
—well it doesn’t matter who he
v/as he looked sad when I asked
him what was the matter, he
answered that “he would not
have any biscuits this year,” so
you see Mr. Editors, that wheat
is a failure.
Jess Adkins happened to bad
luck the other day, he was haul¬
ing bark and his mules become
frightened and ran away leaving
him skating on his back down
the steeps of Puddin’ Ridge, but
was not seriously damaged only
the loss of his shirt.
We had the pleasure of listen¬
ing to an excellent sermon de¬
livered by Rev. James Newby, the
second Sunday in July. We hope
Mr. Newby will give us another
call soon.
W. O. Smith cut his foot very
badly, but is able to get about
with the aid, of a cane.
I can’t imagine why Mr. Kil¬
lian wants us Coveites to come
to Texas; we have plenty to eat,
wear, and pure water to drink,
and above all good health. We
would like for Mr. Killian to ex¬
plain why he wishes us to leave
a good home and seek some
western land where water is a
perfect stranger.
We would be glad that every
body would take the Gazette, for
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir:
The Rising Fawn school was
conspicuous by its absence in the
recent article on “Progress In
Dade County Schools.” Even
the colored school had a nice
paragraph. Us patrons of the
Rising Fawn school feel that
there is more than one reason
why we were left out. Tax pay¬
ing time is here again and those
of us who have paid our taxes
find them doubled—to pay the
school money. Why didn’t the
Rising Fawn school get some of
that money, when all the other
schools got so much, and we have
to pay just as much as if we were
getting our share? We asked
this $64 question before. If the
Trenton school is so crowded,
why wasn’t some of their ninth
graders brought down here,
where there was an extra room
and some books, too? Why are
the Rising Fawn teachers always
the last to be hired? We used
to have over 200 children in
school. When and why did we
lose so many?
The people in Rising Fawn
know we have the prettiest
school grounds in Dade county,
with plenty of room to play ball,
and for the little ones a play
house, and all of them can stu¬
dy good because it is off the main
road. We love our teachers and
we didn’t want to lose any of
them, and we love our children.
We don’t want any more skids
put under our school, nor any
more deals put over us.
Bondie Taxpayer.
There is only one real failure
in life that is possible, and that
is, not to be true to the best
one knows—Anonymous.
The number of farm trucks in
Georgia in 1945 was 60 per cent
greater than In 1940.
THERE IS A FOOD EMERGE--^' iili i
BECAUSE...
1. Thi* year Western Europe has
had the lowest per-capita crop
yield in recent history.
2 . In addition, there was a 900,000,-
000 bushel loss in our own corn
crop this year.
3 . This means millions of unfortu¬
nate people, in countries friendly
t o us, will go hungry this winter,

Personal
Capt. J. P. Bond, was in our
midst this week.
Genial W. B. Amos, of Oolte-
wah, paid the villiage a flying
visit this week.
Mrs. Sallie Rodgers was in
town this week. Mrs. Rodgers
was on her way to Porterville.
Glad to see her looking so well.
Mr. J. C. Warner, wife and two
sons, arrived at the Fawn this
week, and will remain some time.
Mrs. G. L. Williams of ‘^exas,
paid her brother, Mr. L. S. Tid¬
well a visit last Week.
Mr. J. M. Cantrell and wife,
left this week on a visit to Can¬
trell’s Cross Roads, Tenn.
Bear in Mind
That the school which opens
at this place on the first Monday
in next month will be entirely
free for the first three months.
All between the ages of six and
eighteen, residing in the county,
can take advantage of this. The
success of the school is assured.
We are all united and working
hard.
So Cheap
Always call on J. W. Cowart
and get great bargains, as he
deals exclusively in bitters and
family groceries which he buys
for strict cash. Do not fail to
see me I want all your beef,
mutton, chickens, eggs, butter,
vegetables, green corn and will
pay the highest cash prices in
groceries, script or cash. Do not
fail to go to Iron Works and see
Cowart before you sell your bart¬
er, if you do you will lose money.
