Improvement Committee
Assumes New
The July County wide Im¬
provement meeting was held
Tuesday night at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. M. T. Patton of
the New Home District. There
were over thirty people present
but only four of the twelve com¬
munities were represented. As
usual there were more men than
women present.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Allen T. Newby
which given out on the lawn
under the stars was very im¬
pressive.
Miss Bess Cureton, Chairman
in her introductory remarks ask¬
ed us to read the 104th Psalm
for inspiration in this work. A
brief report was given by Mrs.
Nethery for the Trenton As¬
sociation, Agent L. C. Adams for
New Salem, Miss Cureton for
Rising Fawn and many of the
New Home residents told of
their progress.
Mr. M. T. Patton, at whose
home the meeting was held and
who is the Justice cf the Peace
for this new militia district told
of the improvements made since
he had moved there in 1939. He
said there were about 4 houses
then and none north of him.
There were no stores and now
there are three, Coopers, Davis,
Roaches.
The early residents had no
mail route and got their mail
at Shellmound or at Dewey
Crisps which was 11 miles away.
The first mail route came up
from Wildwood but they were
now on Trenton route 2. Re¬
cently a new mile of road had
’been opened north and the mail
was delivered here also. ,
The New Home Baptist Church
was built 10 years ago and
they were working on additions
to it now. The power was
'brought in on July 5, 1948 and
126 meters were installed at this
time. There are now about 135
homes with electricity.
There are three stocked fish
ponds in this community. About

three years ago a grist mill was
established. There are many
tractors and Mr. C. G. Cooper,
proprietor of Cooper’s Store is
the agent for Ferguson tractor.
There are three power saws and
5 bush and bog harrows. The
farms average about 80 acres
and raise mostly corn, cotton,
and hay. Most of the residents
moved in from Alabama where
they had been practicing con¬
tour farming and terracing and
continuing these practices have
been able to do successful farm¬
ing.
Last year they were made the
1885 Georgia Militia District.
Also last year they were given
another school bus on their route
making two, but they are still
both very overcrowded.
One of their principal projects
at present is building of a ten-
nie court. The county has used
some of its machinery to help
them with this and they hope
to have it completed very soon
now.
What the strip mining oper¬
ations in their community was
doing to their land was also dis¬
cussed.
Brought up at this meeting
was the possibility of having a
rural telephone system. Be-,
cause this would mean a govern¬
ment loan there is a great deal
of red tape involved in this.
However it was agreed to circu¬
late a petition throughout the
county to see how many would
want to pay for the telephone 1
Service in their homes. These
lists would be presented at the j
next meeting on August 22nd at
the Davis High School to see if j
something could be worked out
on this.
The problem of getting an¬
other doctor in the county was
discussed at length. The popu¬
lation has grown to such an ex¬
tent that is was believed there
a serious need for more
care, as so many people
are having to go outside the
