Cars on my heart,
Cars on my mind,
But I’d give up cars,
If you'd be my Valentine.

To Barbara:
We have our ups and downs,
We have our good times too,
But, hang it all, I’ve found,
There’s no one quite like you.
Jonh.
To Guess Who?
Your hair isn’t red.
Your eyes aren’t blue,
Your name is silly,
But I love you.
I really need somebody.
To help make up my mind;
Jimmy’s handsome and I love
him,
But “James” has the line.
"You Know Who.”
To Bill:
Sure you're in the Army,
But I want you to know
That I’m thinking of you
Wherever you may go.

Cupid, Cupid make it snappy,
Bring me a Sweetheart to

OUR ALL-ROUND PRINC IPAL
When most of us think of Mr
J. C. Billue, we think of him as
Principal of Dade High School
and as a Sociology teacher. He
Is seldom thought of as being
a coach before he came here.

coaching because there are
fewer worries. He is a graduate
of Berry College with a B. S. de¬
gree. He playde basketball at
Berry for four years.
Mr. Billue also has a Master
Degree from the University of
Georgia.
He has coached both basket-

THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 15, 1951
Mrs. Laura Slaton ...
'Continued from first page)
Evaline McKaig. They were the
parents of Laura Guinn Slaton,
born January 18, 1860. Aunt
Laura told me, “My paternal
great-grandfather, Covlngtton
C Guinn was the first man to
run a store of general merchan- j
in Chattanooga. I’ve listen-,
ed to the ‘old folks’ tell how;
‘Uncle Cove’, as he was affec- i
tionaly known, bartered with
the Indians. They quoted him as
Some people will tell you
how an Indian will trade any¬
thing for some shiny object,
without regard for its worth,
but,” he said in his business
relations with the Indians he
scon learned that he was the
ne left by an Indian with some
worthless object while the*
‘poker-faced’ Indian had skin-
ned him for his ‘hide and tal- j
low' in the trade. However, with! he,
became great friends
many of the Indians who
camped around Rising Fawn and I
throughout the mountainous ;
country of Georgia and Ten-!
nessee.” j
“When the war between the
forced great-grandfather |
Guinn to sell out his merchan¬
dise to some Eastern concern,
he brought home many of the
fine linens that were imported,
china, silver and all the furni¬
ture the old home could hold.
Then a great tragedy occured
when the home burned to ashes
one Sunday while the family at¬
tended church.”
Aunt Laura was married to
Uncle John Slaton in February
1879. They were the parents of
eight children, seven daughters
and one son. In the interval of
Aunt Laura’s birth and her
marriage is an interesting epi¬
sode. One evening a Calvary
Troop of Union soldiers rode up
to my great-grandmother’s door
and the Captain ordered Aunt
Laura’s mother to fix supper
for his men. Being of Scotch
descent, and quite stubborn, she
told him that one of her baby
daughters was desperately ill of
pneumonia and she could not
leave the child. This was true.
After asking her several ques¬
tions the Captain wanted to
know why a doctor had not
been called in to see the child.
She told him that she had no
men folk on the place to send
for the doctor. The husband was
in the war and the slaves had
run away and only she and
“Mamy” were left to run the
place. The Union Captain beck¬
oned to one of his men whom
Aunt Laura’s mother later
learned was a doctor and order¬
ed him to care for the child
while the mother prepared the
meal. The Union doctor worked
very faithfully with the little
girl and left medicine and or¬
ders for her care when they
rode off the next morning.Oddly
enough, the little girl recovered,
and that little girl was Laura
Guinn Slaton.
Aunt Laura was bom within
two miles of her present home
where Uncle John brough her as
ja bride, almost seventy-two
years ago. On Sunday, at her
birthday party, Aunt Laura
wore a lovely black crepe dress
with figures of pink rosebuds,
and pink pearl buttons fashion¬
ed the front all the way down.
On one shoulder was pinned a
beautiful corsage of pink came-
lias. Her little great-great ne¬
phew, David Guinn Bush, of
Gadsden, Ala., presented her
with a gold orchid which was
flown into Gadsden from Hava¬
na. Cuba. This lovely orchid
was pinned on the other should
er. Her grand-daughter in law,
Mrs. Leon Keith, designed and
made her dress, as she did the
birthday cake, which was beau¬
tifully decorated with spun red
roses. It was as delectable in
taste as in its design.
The many friends who called
to wish Aunt Laura a “Happy
Birthday” are far too numerous
to mention, but the following
are the close relatives who were
there for the gala birthday din
ner: Her children. Mr. and Mrs.
Purdle Slaton, Mrs. Callie Po¬
well, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Pitt¬
man and Sue and Mrs. Lydia
Keith. Due to illness Mrs. Chari
sie Huddleston of Oklahoma and
Mrs. Jessal Walker of Ft. Pierce
Florida, could not attend.
Other relatives were Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Keith. Hughdon and
Joey, Mr. and Mrs. Guss Me
Kaig, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Amos,
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Moreland, Mr.
and Mrs. Wilbur Talent and
Delano, Mr. and Mrs. William
Street and Bonnie Sue, Mrs. La¬
mar Moreland^ Mr. Arthur My-
rick and Artea Myrick, Mr. and
Mrs. Canova Guinn, Dr. and
Mrs. J. D. Bush and David, and
Mr. and Mrs. John Slaton and
baby.

COTTON
The cotton situation In the
United States has made it ne-
eeasary for all controls to be
lifted and farmers are being
called on to produce all the cot-
ton possible this year. Dade
County Is not a large cotton
producing county, however many
of the farms are well adapted to
nr< ducing cotton and on some ,
of these farms, cotton can be
produced economically
Those farmers who are inter¬
ested In cotton would probably
be wise to tke advantage of the
opportunity this year to build
upth eir base acreage, in cases
where they have been low and
at the same time produce a good
cash crop to supplement their
farm income,
Farir.lrs planting cotton
anticipate the labor pro-
blem in harvesting and plant
only the acres that they have
sufficient labor now available
harvest.
The acreage planted to cotton
should be increased through in¬
creased yields per acre rather
than a large Increase In acreage
planted. Fertilizer and lnsecti-
cides will be hard to get. These
needs should be anticipated
well in advance and the supply
purchased and stored on the
farm.
Watch for more articles on
cotton to follow each week.
