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.

The little son of Mr. Joe Nix is very sick with pneumonia. There is a great deal of la gripe in this part of the country at present. The farmers have stopped plow¬ ing in this part owing to the con¬ 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 ill, but we are glad to know she is improving. We are obliged to the neighbor¬ ing women for their kindness to us last week. Miss Cora Nix gave us a pleasant call last Sunday evening. Legal Advertisements.
