THE CLEVELAND COURIER.
Vol. xiv. No. 14.J
Doings at Robertstown and Helen.
Lumber is being hauled in for
the bridge across the Chattahoo¬
chee River at the east end of Helen.
Work on the bridge will be com¬
menced with a very short time, and
once begun will be rapidly brought
to a finish under the direction of
Mr. R. O. Byars, Superintendent
of Construction, who recently ar¬
rived at Helen from St. Louis, Mo.
The new bridge will be quite an
improvement over the dangerous
ford, and the people on both sides
of the river are indeed glad of the
prospect of a bridge.
Telephone service will be in
Robertstown within a very short
time as several phones were install¬
ed in Helen this week, and the
work necessary to connect Helen
and Robertstown will go forward
as rapidly as possible.
The real estate firm of Pitner &
Jones has just finished their office
at Helen, and will move into it as
soon as possible. One of the
features of Pitner & Jones’ office
will be the free information bureau
in charge of Mr. E. W. Mead, who
recently came to Robertstown from
Los Angeles, California.
Mr. E. W. Mead, has just pur¬
chased a house and lot in Helen,
and will improve the same at once.
Despite the loss of from 15,000 to
20,000 feet of lumber which was
destroyed by fire while in the pro¬
cess of being kiln dried, the work
on the three-story hotel at Helen is
going forward very rapidly, and
Superintendent Byars states that it
will be only a very short time until
the same is completed.
Qs a recent visit of the Reverend
Thomas Duck of the Episcopal
Church at Toccoa, Robertstown
has the promise of an Episcopal
Church within a very short time,
as Bishop Nelson of the Atlanta
Diocese has given his promise that
a man will be put in charge of the
Church in the early part of June.
Already a lot for the Church build¬
ing has been secured,, Mr. John E.
CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, JAN. 17, 1918.
PLAIN TALK.
Mrs. J. P. Evans and son, Frank
are visiting relatives in the city of
Atlanta at present.
Take a back seat, you scoffers,
and clear the track, or get knocked
off for the G. N. W. is a reality.
We have been told that we had
better be careful how we condemn
whiskey and whiskey dealers. We
are using the utmost care in placing
our open condemnation firmly on
both. Some men say they are op¬
posed to the whiskey traffic, but
are afraid to say anything. The
man who will make such a state¬
ment is either a coward or an in¬
famous liar ; too cowardly to raise
a protest, or a hypocrit, trying to
stand in with both crowds. My
friend, you need not have any
about “Plain Talk,” he is able
take care of himself, and
ready to back up all he has said
will say.
The pulpit of the Methodist
church is again filled by a man.
That is the greatest tribute we can
give him. A man in every
of the word; a fearless servant
God.
Mitchell of St. Louis, Missouri,
having donated the same.
Work on the big saw-mill at Hel¬
en is being rushed forward with all
speed. The machinery for the mill
will come on the first train to arrive
over the new Gainesville & North¬
ern, and is expected about Feb. 1st.
Working two ten-hour shifts a day,
the mill at Helen will have a daily
capacity of 200,000 feet of lumber.
Mr. E. J. Dedman, states that
there will be more freight hauled
over his road on the opening day
than on any opening day of any
road that has yet been built in the
South. Besides opening up one of
the greatest hardwood reserves in
the United States, the Gainesville &
Northwestern will be a great factor
in developing one of the finest fruit,
truck and stock districts in the
Squib. K X

There is a great deal of la gripe

tinued rains.
John Ledford has received from
the stork a nice New Year’s gift.
It’s a girl.
Why wonder at the endless smile
on Mr. Joe Winkler’s face since
the arrival of a new, plump boy at
his home?
Mrs. W. J. Allen has been quite
