Large Crowd Enjoys i
Barbecue & Dance
There was a very good crowd
at the Barbecue. Many were
served and many stayed to par¬
ticipate in and to watch the
Square Dance.
This affair was sponsored by
the Lions Club, Farm Bureau,
Vhe Legion and the Improve¬
ment Committee to raise money
for the Dade County Fair this
fall.
The barbecue was served out
doors around the pit in back
of the Leglin Hall. This had
been prepared by E. G. Wright,
jr„ Toll Jeffrey and Jules Case
who worked since daylight and
were assisted by T. S. Renfroe,
James Morrison, Granville Pace,
and Cleron Kyzer, chairman
later in the day. Miss Bess
Cureton and Mrs. Louise Wright
had made the tea and slaw and
brought the rest of the trimings
which made up this delicious
meal. High improvised tables
had been erected which were big-
help to the dinners. Everyone
was in a festive mood and there
was much milling about sa
friends greeted friends.
Mr. Waiter Simpson and later,
Mr. Raymond Morrison were the
callers for the Square Dance.
Music was supplied by Lewis
Sims, Mrs. Bradford, Otto Wat¬
son and Bob Russell. The new
floor of the Hall proved so new
and slippery that, except for
those with rubber soled shoes,
the participants had to remove
their shoes in order to be able
to stand up.
There was no rain all evening
to mar the festivities and it is
to be hoped the affair was a
financial success and that
enough money was raised to put
on our Fair this fall.

who wish to avail themselves of
this service will please see the

pointment.
ALONG OUR HIGHWAYS
In spite of the long fourth of
July week end, Dade seems to
have come thru with about an
average number of highway vio¬
lations and accidents.
There were seven highway
cases. These were for reckless
driving, driving while under the
influence of liquor, speeding,
driving without a license and
one case involved driving while
drunk and resisting an officer.
No local people were involved,
fhere were four forfeitures of
bond.
There have been two highway
accidents reported to us, both
on the bad stretches of road be¬
tween Trenton and Rising Fawn.
One car, one wavy, slippery when
wet unmarked road just north
of Adkins Store, turned over and
landed in the ditch with all
wheels turned up. A man and
his wife who were inside, were
hot injured and were able to
crawl out. The other accident
was just north of Rising Fawn.
The car skidded into the ditch,
lurned, on its side but again no
one was hurt.
There was a great deal of
traffic throughout the county
over the week end and with these
two bad places on stretches of
Highway 11 and the one way
traffic on parts of the Lookout
fountain Road it is indeed for¬
tunate there were no fatalities.

Have you been to Sand Moun¬
tain lately? “If you have not,
i then you know not, half the
beauty, color, wonder” that ex¬
ists these. Take a Sunday after¬
noon and drive up there while
beautifully. The Ringers, Peter-
fhe flowers are blooming so
sons or Taylors will be glad for
you to see their acres of flowers
now in full bloom.
As you make this trip we would
suggest that you stop at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Hood
who have a yard of beauty with
flowers of many varieties now in
bloom. The Hoods have realiy
c-one in for some interior decor¬
ating also. They have a sink
f or the kitchen ready for instal¬
lation and have just had a new
electric stove added to the
kitchen. In the past few weeks
they have added new rugs for
several of their rooms and have
’°ht n Q w living and bedroom
furniture, not to mention a sani-
,tary toilet, concrete platform
steps around the rear entrance.
Under the capable supervision
of Mrs. Hood we are sure you’ll
find “a house that is a Home.”
A lovely coupie and a lovelv
home could well describe the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Har¬
den who are completing a new
home in just diagonally across
the street from the Dade High
School. This couple with the as¬
sistance of only one carpenter
have built their home, complete
with bath. This home has five
other rooms all furnished to the
comfort of this deserving coupie.
Already we hear that Mrs.
Harrison has Gardenia Cuttings
to give away-r-by early fall we
kno wshe will have a yard
worthy of our visit.
