Thirst , Too, Seeks Quality v\ THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 6, 1951 I’m not feelin much like writin today. I was made sad this last past week when I learned of the passing of Jake. Jake lived in Hockker commun¬ ity, but worked for one of the boys of uor community for the railroad in Chattanooga. Also, he was seen on the farm of this self same man here in our community a let. As a boy I wondered why Jake and his people and I and my folks were different, them bein’ black and us white. I still don’t know. But even black, Jake was true blue. I wish I had been asked to write something about Jake We’re goin’ to miss him. Last Fall in cutting wood I found a fine hickory for makin’ hand¬ les. Another tree yielded sticks so rough and tough you could not split them with dynamite. Jake later on was sent to fetch a cut for handles, but because of incomplete directions as to location Jake came upon the rough cuts. After much labor trying to split this tough hick¬ ory, which he found impossible with the tools he had, he brought the whole block in, though the weight was near 200 pounds. This just goes to show how hard Jake tried to do what you asked him to do, and this is why we all thought so much of him—at least one of the reasons. He has “gone over the river to rest under the shade of the trees,’’ leaving a large family. Martin Street and son Donald, with others from here, went to the church at the ime for the funeral. The house was full and they asked to be allowed to file by, together with the other white people from Hooker and from Chatta¬ nooga for a last look at his mortal remains. As we left the church to the accompaniment of low singing, one could im¬ agine it was Jake’s voice we heard and the song he was singing was: “When you get to heaven as you surely will “If the Saviour’s name you own, “After you have greeted those you love the best “Who are gatherin round the throne “You may look for me for I’ll be there, I’ll be there,” etc.“ Since our regular correspond¬ ent is workin’ in ChaiLtanooga, wish “Pitcher Hitter" would get in the line-up regular. No use comin along tryin to steal my thunder lessen you mean busines and will take the job regular. It’s now open and I can’t handle it cause I’m not in condition to play and if I was I am the property of a team in a different league, so you are automatically “hit.’’ As me and Isham told you, we’re jist two little country boys tryin to git along. Isham, pore boy, got bumble bee stung last week when he started home with a hornet’s nest. He all swelled up, but he’s gone down now. “It’s all in a boy’s life anyhow,’’ he said to Elvin Cureton as he parked his car¬ cass in front of Elmer Burns’ Warm Mornin’ one evenin last week. I was on my way home from the County Sight, after gittin him some pills for his ailins and saw Earl Cole taking off with another feller on a possum hunt. Heard the next day they had a sack and didn’t know it got hung in the briars and losi- ed untir they twisted one of the fuzzy boogers out and had to tote it home all naked. Was glad do see Frank Patterson out with his son Frank K. He’s lookin’ weel. Wish I could see his brother Bill. Seems like it’s nigh -onto twenty year since I seen him. Well, I see the stakes all set for the new community house. Unders an’ a workin’ was on the agenda and an ad for a supervisor was cancelled when ! it was found out Lawrence Du- cran Leighton Street, Alvin Reeves and two or three other feiers whose names I have cr 0 t wuz takin their wives along—or maybe it was the wives doin’ the takin? They say they’s another workin soon when they are goin to pour the foots, or somethin’ like that. that, They’re tellin a a good gooa un on one of the boys, but I’m afraid to say who. It seems when he was younger his dad took him to town to sell a load o’ pum- pins Soon Pa wanted to go git him some chawin terbaccer— Npwc llvVvii Pfc. Samuel J. F. Wakefield, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Wake¬ field, has completed his train¬ ing at the Tyndall Air Force Base. He flew home on a ten day furlough with his parents. He will be stationed at Pope Air Force Base, Faye'.teville, N. Carolina. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Tipton have moved into our commun¬ ity. We are glad to have them as neighbors. Mrs. Margie Miner has re¬ turned from the sanitarium. Glad to have her home again. Mrs. Mary Patterson visited Mrs - Ger rude McBryar, Sat- urc j a y. Mrs. R. L. Wilson vLsited Mrs. B. I. Cole, Saturday. Mr. Mitchel Hallum is still very ill in Atlanta. We are hop- ing for his speedy recovery. --__----- I STAR L/1 nil R0IITF j Shirley Barton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Omer Barton, is a patient at Elk’s Aidmore Hrspital in Atlanta, Ga. She is undergoing surgery for polio. Mr. and Mrs. R. Z. Thomp¬ son visited friends and relatives in Chattanooga last week end. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Barton, of Trenton, were Saturday vi-: sitors of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Barton. We are glad to have Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Daniel back in our community. Davis High School Sand Mountain turned out in full force Saturday night to protest the moving of our High School to Trenton. Practically j every interested person was there voting against the move. A committee was appointed to j meet with the school board. | Funds were contributed to pur- chase an additional 12 acres for the school. The people responded whole - heartedly and a good amount was re¬ ceived for this purpose. We are a growing community and more interest is being shown because of t this. The patrons and facul.y are jointly cooperative in making a better school than ever before. The people feel their right to file this protest. We trust the ques¬ tion can be settled with the students in mind, the stu¬ dents, who are our fu:ure men and women. We want the best for them.
