James C. Case and his son. James Milton, compose ‘he third and fourth genera¬ tions, respectively, and are the present operators of the John L Case Company, specializing in groceries, dry goods, hard¬ ware and appliances. The story of the Case Com¬ pany goes back before 1900, when Mr. James A. Case oper- a ted a general store for some time. Following that period, there was an interval of about fifteen years when the business was out of the Case family. Then in 1906, the first Mr. Case’s son, John L., bought the «tt1r C i ty who need hospital care j cannot pay.

Castleber¬ ry, former owner of the store who had gone bankrupt. With the help of a clerk, Marvin Wilkerson, Mr. Case ran a general merchandise store in the old-time tradition, from kerosene lanterns to the famed cracker barrel within easy reach of the nail kegs ar¬ ranged around the old coal stove. This same stove was used until a few years ago when a more modern heating system was installed. It is believed that the Case store is among the first busi¬ nesses to locate on the square. An uncle of John L. Case's, Leroy Case, operated a store in the old Case hotel near the Devoted to the Best Interests of Dade County and Georgia. THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1953 ])_ f grown Is Grand Jury J The March term of Superior Court was opened promptly at nine Monday morning by 'Judge Freeman C. McClure, The Grand Jury was quickly drawn with.only three of the fir t 23 called being unable to serve. Mr. D. T. Brown was selected as Foreman, Mr. J. A. Case, Secretary and Mr. G. C. Tatum, Bailiff. After being ° sworn in by * our *ew Solicitor, Earl B. Self Judge McClure gave his charge He began by telling : lhls Grand Jury the law on ,^ver.i of their duties and re- '*«“• “> investigate the county’s ~ ^ api > olnteti _______________ The first Grand Jury of the year ^the also mled “office vacancies Noiary if of Public and Justcie of the Peace i Qn thg Boards of Health and Educati0 n.

Judge McClure took consider- able time to explain about se- veral complaints he had re- ceived about enforcing the law. He said he didn’t enforce the law, nor did the Solicitor that it was up to the people to take our warrants and come be fore the Grand Jury and make a complaint. If the people they j want the law enforced must cooperate with the law. He realized, he continued, that there were liquor cases—mak¬ ing, transporting and driving under its influence— that the Grand Jury doesn’t know about an d it was up to the citizens to'do'their'p'art if they wanted tkiings cleaned up.

Active pallbearers were Roy ’ ^ 1 '- Durham > Robert T. Wooi- bright, Louis Sims and Ed ^lly. Mr. Snyder is survived by his sister, Mrs. W. E. Page; one brother, Glenn Snyder, Chat- tanooga, and several nieces and nephews. He was an em- ployee of McBryar Brothers for several years. j ! depot before John L. Case started his store on the square, so store-keeping has been con¬ tagious with the Cases. In 1916, James C. Case went into business with his father as clerk. About this time, one could purchase two pounds of coffee beans for a quarter and take them home for grinding on the coffee mill which each family used daily. Salt pork was worth six cents a pound, while one could be extravagant and take home twenty pounds of sugar for a dollar If he chose. Good work shoes for men sold for about $1.95 a pair. One. o? the outstanding me¬ mories of his employment as clerk concerns the fact that store kjeepers opened thteix business before daylight and stayed long after dark. This was common practice until the “Blue Eagle” Law was parsed in the thirties requiring store owners to stay open only about eight hours a day. Electricity was not Installed in the county until the early 1930’s so the first thing Mr. Case did in the morning after opening the store, provided it was daylight, was to put all the kerosene lamps away until they were needed late in the afternoon. He also recalls that the store advertised in the Dade County fluty of the citizens, Judge Me Clure said, and he again stress- ed the law that it is a misde- meanor to throw trash, tin cans, bottles and the like along the highways. Dade is a beau- tiful county, he said, and its people should try to keep it so.

Before he joined the store, the county newspaper was published in the Case building over the store by Dodge O’Neill, The paper was called the “Centennial” then and has also been published under the title, “The Rising Fawn Gazette.’.

Bloat is not new but ■ as we have developed clover pastures, we have more cases j of bloat. Bloat is caused by the accumulation of gas in the digestive tract, after graz- ing lush clover or other le- gumes. This gas builds up pres- sure on the vital organs and , will cause death. Here suggestions: ' are some 1. Watch cows carefully when starting to graze a new area of clover. Graze only a short time at first, certainly not more than one hour. 2. Pastures with a good ba- lonce of grasses and legumes g i Ve little trouble usually. So- «d stands of clover with no coarse roughage are danger- ous. 3.

At the rear of the store, there are dry goods and W. L. Douglas, Weynberg and Robin Hood shoes. Employees in this section are Miss Ruth Cole and Buddy Ta¬ tum. In addition to showing out¬ standing service to his custo¬ mers, Mr. Case tries to foresee their needs by stocking his store with a variety of the latest goods. In its fourth generation of operation, the Case Company has been associated through the years with Trenton’s early history, and it is the wish of Mr. James C. Case to keep it that way, a symbol of Dade County’s growth and progress.
