More Dade History
By Frank Netbery
(Continued from last week)
Construction of the railroad
Dade County, Noth- j
r e m e m bers being told i
he was small, got as far j
Trenton when the Civil War
cut. There was some j |
trouble and old timers recalled
that once the sheriff went out ,
and chained the engine wheels
to the track to keep it from j
moving. After the war. how¬
ever, the railroad was pushed
an through to Birnmingham.
Nethery recalls much about
the old timer families. Go rge
Hughes, a Confederate veteran
who had his ieg .shot off, held
county office for years. Leon
Ccnnally married Beryamin
Brock's daughter. The Brock
place, over at the foot of Look¬
out Mountain near Piney, is
one of the oldest places Neth¬
ery remembers in the county
Benjamin Brock is one of the
original settlors in the county.
Nethery remembers him as
“one cf the finest men I've ever
known” whose “word was worth
100 cents on tfie dollar.” z
Dr William Brock, captain
in the Confederate army, was
Benjamin Brock's son. His son
was Will H. Brock, who was a
postmaster for a time. M ther
Morrison, mother of Col. D. E.
Morrison, is also a dan h! r cf
Dr. William Brock. B T.
Brock was also a son of the
doctor and he married George
Cureton's sister.
Nethery never saw an Amer¬
ican flag fly in Dade County
until 1945 when the ceremonies
took place to take Dade back
into the Union.
Zachariah O'Neal once own¬
ed the west port of Trenton.
Manus Morgan, at Morganville.
had 11 daughters.
Nethery graduated at the
Trenton Academy 'the old brick
building in scutheast Trenton
where the Masons now meet.

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR CLERK OF
SUPERIOR COURT
I am a candidate for the of¬
fice of Clerk of Superior Court
of Dade County, subject to the
Democratic Primary April 12,
19o2. I am the daughter of
Graham Hale, your present
Clerk, end have been assisting
him with this work for the past
4 years. I feel that I am quali¬
fied and physically able to do
this work.
1 assure you I will appreciate
your support and vote in the

THE JOB: — TAX COMMIS¬
SIONER.
THE MAN:— CHARLES RAY¬
MOND STREET.
THE PLACE: — YOUR VOT¬
ING PRECINCT.
THE TIME: APRIL 12, 1952.
The voters of Dade County,
at the time and place stated,
have the prvilege — and the
duty — of chooshing the man
iserve as your tax commissoner
for the next four years. In do¬
ing so, they should, and a great
majority will I believe, vote for
the man who is best qualified.
I was born in Dade County
and spent my early years assist¬
ing my father to support a fa¬
mily of tsp on the farm. I
completed the subjects taught
in the schools of Dade Csunty,
later going to school in Tennes¬
see, where I completed a law
course at the Chattanooga Col¬
lege cf Law and passd the bar
examination.
I love the “Hills of Home”
none the less because I spent
two years overseas in the first
world war, nor because I ac¬
quired knowledge and expe¬
rience outside the county to fit
me for the position I now seek.
I have had a total of thirty
years experience in clerical and
bookkeeping work. I will give
the office my personal atten¬
tion and cheerfully aid every
taxpayer in any way I can. I
do not expect to find it neces¬
sary to employ another except
for the brief period I am visit¬
ing the several districts for the
convenience of; the taxpayers
in filing their returns.
I will be grateful for the vote
of everyone who reads this and
for your steering those who do
not and who may lack knowl¬
edge of my qualifications to
.’ikewise vote for me.
I am not aligned with any
candidate for any other office.

FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF
DADE COUNTY SCHOOLS
To The People of Dade County:
I .wish to announce my can-
didacy for re-election as your
.Superintendent.
Four years ago I pledged my
support and cooperation in all
efforts to give the children of
our County better educational
advantages, which I have faith¬
fully done as your employee.
Four years ago you gave me
an overwhelming vote of con-!
fidence cf 1.G99 to 477, for the
then incumbent. For this con-
ild nce I have ever been mind¬
ful as I have tried to give the
oast administration possible
with what we had to do with.
Now that we are entering in¬
to a new era of education it is
still my desire to serve you with
the same determination that I
felt four years ago. Through
the new prigram of education
as provided in the Minimum
Foundation Program of Educa¬
tion, Dade County should go
forward as n..ver before. I’d
like to work with you again in
the mutual interest in the up¬
building of Dade County as we
make it the best county in the
State cf Georgia. Your conti¬
nued support will be appre¬
ciated.
Further statement will be
made later.
Respectfullly submitted,
Roy W. Moore.
