He joined his wife, Mrs. Carolyn Mascunana and child at Floral Crest and The Dade County Times the middle of August. Mr. and Mrs. Mascunana are now living in Wildwood. Your publisher’s hands have about recovered if she can stay out of the ink. For those of you who have not been in the shop this summer, your publisher was found to be alergic to printer’s ink (of all things) and has spent a miserable summer. Our G. I. Apprentice's baby, Patricia Ann Moore, celebrated her first birthday this past Monday. notice All members of the Trenton Garden Club are urged to have an entry in the flower exhibit at the County Fair Sept. 30th and October 1st. Published Weekly—Since 1901 <nnnnrTnroTTBTnrBTnroTnnnni Improvement Column oqooqqooooooqqqqoooooqq - So few people stop to realize how much the little things count toward the making of a whole—“little drops of water, little grains of sand make a mighty ocean and a pleasant [land.” If each person in the county would make and honest effort to keep their home- place fresh and clean no mat¬ ter whether they rent or own it, what an attractive county Dade would soon be. Weeds cut outside the yard fence as well as inside, tin cans, scraps of paper, broken toys and even farm machinery picked up and kept in their proper place make a marvelous change in the ap¬ pearance of any place. Can you imagine the difference these small changes will make in the attractiveness of our county. One of the biggest “little im¬ provements” is the building of a bridge across that swampy place on the approach to Davis High School. At long last the branch has been ditched to carry off the water that has spread over a large area thru which school children had to wade and cars plow thru—even ice during the winter. Many thanks to those to whom the responsibility for this work is due. The Grover Longs have cer¬ tainly made great improve¬ ments on their home on the Birmingham Highwayst when they added a most attractive front porch and gave the en¬ tire house a new coat of white paint. And have you noticed how much the Jess Parson:? new porch has added to their home? After driving over the dust fogged roads of Sand Mountain the lovely home of the Elijah Elliotts is as refreshing as a drink of cool spring water. The yard is covered with a well cut Sawn-grass that Is fresh and green from watering, for this interprising young couple have a well with an electric pump supplying plenty of water for both farm and home use. A white house set in the midst of green lawns and blooming flo¬ wers has a charm all its own. (One thing that the European teen-agers who were brought to the States last year noticed was “All the houses are painted white.’’) The convenient and modern kitchen has a large double sink as well as built in cabinets for foot-saving as well as time-saving. The next pro¬ ject they plan is the installa¬ tion of a bathroom. They also had a brand new maroon car parked in the driveway and it make the whole thing look just like a picture advertising auto¬ mobiles—every thing was so perfect.

NUMBER 38 State Highway Officials Promise Some Road Repairs State Highway officials from Gainsville were in Dade last ! week. F. A. Nichols, Assistant i Divison Engineer and W. W. 1 Mayes, Assistant Maintenance talked with several about the conditions along our highways. Mr. Mayes says asphalt for repair work has already been approved. The first dressing has been put down of the short stretch of State Highway 143 from No. 11 over the R. R. bridge to where the old road comes in. Mr. Mayes says that ‘the Death traps in the county are to be fixed." These wil need crushed rock and not so much asphalt. He also said work will continue on the cave in on the Lookout Mountain road but the shovel is now in Summerville. Mr. Nicholls gave us no en¬ couragement on the Sand Mountain road. He says the road is in bad shape but he doesn’t have the money to fix it and there are other roads in his district as bad. He doesn’t know whether or not they have as much traffic on them as on the Sand Mountain road. He did say that pipes and drains can be gotten and put in and that he would recommend that some chirt be put on this road. JURY COMMISSIONERS AT WORK THIS WEEK Judge J. H. Paschall was back in Trenton last Thursday and issued the following: It being made to appear to the Court that the revision of the Grand Jury list made by the Jury Commissioiners of said county, in August 1949 wu^ not made in accordance with all the laws and statutes of Georgia pertaining thereto and and It appearing that another revision of the Grand and Tra¬ verse jury list is necessary in said Dade County, Georgia, it is therefore ordered that the Jury Commission of said coun¬ ty convene as soon as practical and within 10 days and again revise said jury list as provided by law. This 22 September 1949. J. H. Pascall, Judge Cherokee Superior Court Two new jury boxes have been made and are ready for the use of the Jury Commissioners who are meeting this week. The Commissioners are: M. E. Ford, Larkin Blake, Fred A. Morgan, W. T. McCauley, E. R. Wells and R. P. Fricks. The article run in the Chat¬ tanooga Times about what happened during Court last week seems to have several er¬ rors. M. E. Ford did not resign as Jury Commissioner and is meeting with the group this week. Also County records show that from 1923 to 1939 the jury list was drawn from the Tax Digest and the names of all those in the jury box is also on the County records.— Ten years is a lot different thtn the 25 years the Cehattanooga Times said. -o-- WILDWOOD LADIES AID ELECT OFFICERS The Ladies Aid of the Wild¬ wood Methodist Church held tl^ir regular meeting at the hdSffie of Mrs. J.
