There is a choice for each office and it behooves us to listen to each one as he cadis on us and weigh our decision with much thought. Before we commit ourselves we must study ; ] about what qualifications each candidate has for the office for which he is running. We must ask ourselves which man will be able to do the best and most ef¬ ficient Job which the office de¬ mands from him. Listen carefully to ALL the candidates, keep your mind open when you discuss them with your neighbors, for when we go to vote we must honestly know and feel that the man we are voting for will truly work for the better¬ ment of the county as a whole. ABRAHAM LINCOLN One hundred and thirty nine years ago today one of our great presidents, Abraham Lincoln, was born In a small log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky. Much has been written about him; his early life and the strug¬ gles he had, his political life and the human touch he had for all. From the many poems about him we quote a few lines from James Oppenhelm’a: our President, Who knew and loved us all With love more elequent Than his own words-wlth Love that In real deeds was spent . . Oh to our love through deeds— To be as Lincoln was! That all the land might feel its dally needs Olorlfled by a human Cause.' ST. VALENTINE Saint Valentine was a bishop of Rome In about the third cent ury. He was executed by order of the Roman emperor Claudls for his Christian teal. There are many legends about his elequence and his kindness. One story Is particularly pertin¬ ent to the present day custom of sending Valentines. Emperor Claudius In order to increase his armies with single men. whom he claimed made better soldiers, issued a decree forbidding marriage. When the good bishop Valentine heard of this, he Invited all young lovers to come to him and be married in defiance of this law. When the Emperor heard of this he cast the bishop into prison and he was later executed. Thus he became known as the “friend of lovers.” AMERICAN LEGION OFFICERS Commander—D.

Time to renew your subscrip¬ tion to The Times. Comments from the SIDELINES By ELBERT FORESTER Everyone has their ups and dowus And they have their bumps; | All of these I’ve truly had And now I have the mumps., (Ah shucks). * * * The recent Farm Edition of The Times was nothing shy of mighty fine. Congratulations to the Editor and force! The well composed items on the subject of agriculture, etc., were very inter- esting. Frankly, I read the Spe- cial Edition through and through and will say again that Dade County is going places . . . going places in lots of ways. * * * Regret very much to learn of the critical condition of my good friend, Tylie Holmes, who recent¬ ly was burned. . . . Hope for him a speedy recovery, and the same goes for another friend and one of the old timers, Uncle George Nisbet. * * * Remember everyone, to regis¬ ter, in order to be in a position to vote in the 1948 elections. Some of these fellows running for office might want you to vote for ’em—(Can’t ever tell). At any rate> it ig the duty as well as the right of everyone to say “yes” or “no” when it comes to selecting those to serve us as public offi- cials Exerc ise this right by see- ing that your name is on the vo t ers > book. * * * Am passing on a couple of items for the readers of The Times. (No, they are not mine, but I think they are quite timely) * * * He Fccgot He brushed his teeth twice a day with a nationally advertised toothbrush. The doctor examined him twice a year. He slept with his windows open. He stuck to a diet with plenty of fresh vegetables He golfed, but never more than 18 holes. He never smoked, drank, or lost his temper. He got at least eight hours’ sleep each night. The funeral will be held Wed¬ nesday. He is survived by 18 WILDLIFE NOTES By Hugn G. Forester State Ranger Thursday, November 13, 1947, was a gala day in the little mountain community of Head River, in the lower tip of Dade Cdunty. A sort of expectant thrill pervaded the atmosphere. To old and young alike, a great event was about to take place. It. was only the day before that v/ord was brought in that a truck load of deer would arrive from west Texas and would be re¬ leased some time about noon on this day in our newly created game refuge. Even in this mountain fast¬ ness, news travels fast via the grapevine, and by mid morning people started arriving from miles around at a historic spot about three hundred yards east of the Head River Post Office, This spot, which had been select- ed the day before by Govern- men-t Wildlife experts to release the deer, was on the exact ground where the old Indian Three-Notch Trail crossed the Yankee Road. Until a little over a hundred years ago this old trail was- kept w'orn smoothe by the mocasined feet of the Cherokees as they used it as one of their main thoroughfares from below Chattanooga on the river to one of their large stands, vil-| lages where Rome now The Yankee Road was hastily opened by Union soldiers just before the battle of Chichamau- ga, and the first wheel tracks were made in it by two Union generals and their armies as they made a forced and hurried march from Valley Head, Ala., to Chickamauga during the day and night preceding the open¬ ing of that battle. On the memorable day in No¬ vember, 1947, while the people were waiting for the arrival of the deer, older residents swap¬ ped many hunting yarns of the days gone by, and some of them recounted how the deer in this area was exterminated nearly fifty years ago by ruthless hunt¬ ing and slaughter by the early settlers. Noon came and passed, then some of the good ladies present, led by Mrs. Hugh G. Forester,, commandeered our good mail carrier’s jeep and dashed around to Ranger For¬ ester’s home, where a huge bas¬ ket of sandwiches and pots of steaming coffee was hastily pre¬ pared. Just as these ladies ar¬ rived back with the sandwiches and coffee, a couple of Govern¬ ment Wildlife men came and re¬ ported that the truck bringing the deer had arrived in Chicka¬ mauga about forty minutes be¬ fore and had made a brief stop in that place so that the school children there might get a look at these animals. Also that the truck would be on soon. The sandwiches and coffee were hastiy made way with, and greaty enjoyed by all. This was no sooner done than someone yelled, “There they come!” Then the strangest and largest proces¬ sion ever to pass this way since those two Union generals, Mc¬ Cook and Lytle, with their ar¬ mies, thundered over this same road a little over eighty-four years ago, hove in sight. First, there was a long-bodied, law- roofed truck belonging to the Georgia Game and.Fish Com¬ mission, loaded with forty wild deer, and following this truck was a caravan of cars over a mile long. But this time it was not grim-fac.ed soldiers march- ing to battle, it was nearly all the people of Chickamauga who could possibly leave what he or she or they were doing, and many who could not leave, just piled into cars or anything on wheels that had a motor under a hood, and came on anyway. A jovial holiday mood prevail¬ ed and they were getting the thrill of a lifetime. Tom Jones, who is with the Pittman Robin¬ son game restorattion projects, was the driver of the truck, and he took a wide swing into the large clearing and backed up to the edge of the woods on the other side, which is the edge of a vast wilderness reaching east- ward qlear to McLemore’s Cove. and now the Lookout Mountain Grme Refuge. Mr. Jones obligingly waited un- til all the spectators had park- their cars and gathered semicircle! in field in a dense large around the truck. The back of 'the truck was opened and very soon deer were leaping out and bounding away into the woods |with a great show of white hind hoofs tails flagging upward, and more but we will have to that pleasure.
