Developments For Cleveland
Auto Road to Porter Springs Under
Consideration.—White County to
Be Widely Advertised
Mr. B. S. Barker, who is just
sufficiently recovered from an acci¬
dent in which he fell about sixteen
feet, made us a very pleasant call a
few days ago- He was accompani¬
ed by a gentleman here in the in¬
terest of a large w holesale establish¬
ment for Cleveland, which, it is
hoped, will be landed in our town.
Mr. Barker informs us that parties
interested have under consideration
of an automobile road from Cleve¬
land to Porter Springs, that once
famous summer resort of the late
Col. II. P. Farrow, in Lumpkin
county. Now that the G. & N. W.
railroad runs within a few miles of
this place, it is sure to again be¬
come renowned for its healthful
mineral waters and unsurpassed
scenery.
At an early date, too, the G. &
N. W. will have a splendid small
engine on her passenger trains, and
her entire equipment will be im¬
proved as fast as possible, and she
will be equipped with tourist and
observation cars.
Mr. Barker, who is general man¬
ager of the road, will at once enter
into a system of extensive advertis¬
ing for the road which will include
information relating to the many
wonderful possibilities of this sec¬
tion of country in the development
of its vast timber,mineral, livestock
and agricultural advantages.
Observations.
Mrs. Levi Rider has been very
sick recently.
We mourn the loss of such a
good brother, friend and neighbor
as was Mr. Frank Smith, and we
hope that our loss is his eternal
gain.
The Rev. S. M. Kimsey preach¬
ed to a large and attentive congrea
tion at Shoal Creek Sunday, filling
his regular appointment. The sub¬
ject of his text was. works; and
how works and faith went togeth¬
er, and by works faith was made
perfect. He stated that there was
no contradiction when Paul said,
’’The sinner is justified by faith,”
and James says,”a man is justified
by works and not by faith only.”
This is a rough time on the mail
carriers. We had some three or
four incites of snow last week, and
the roads have been veey rough
since, being frozen after having
been well worked tip into mud af¬
ter the snow. The hunters of this
section had a rare time during the
snow, killed much game.
We are sure living and enjoying
life in fast age. The developments
made in this country are marvel¬
ous, and have as yet but commen¬
ced.
J. B. R. Barrett
May Enter Race For Clerk.
Mr. J. B. R. Barrett, whet in¬
terviewed a few days ago, stated
that he was being earnestly
ted bv a number of people to enter
the race for Clerk of superior court
He has not yet decided that he will
run, but as he only fell short of the
mark two years ago by ten or
twelve votes, the temptation to
run is pretty strong.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, MARCH 6, 1914.
Got His Fortune Told By Indian
Robbed of Money and Giber Valuables.
It is said that there is a means by
which every man get caught, and
a citizen of near Cleveland was the
other day convenced fully of
truth of that statement by a party
of Indians from Brazil, who camp¬
ed in Cleveland last Friday near
the corporate limits on the Blairs
viHe road. They were a pretty
“greczy” looking bunch. A gentle
man, we will call “Uncle )ohn,” j
for want of a better name, called j j
upon them Saturday morning to
give his little son a look at the
Indians, as well as to satisfy his j
own curiosity. j
After participating in a friendly !
conversation with them for a short
time, one old lady, ‘(duchess”
amongst them, advised him that
she was a very superior fortune- !
teller, and would relate to him j
(Dear Father) many remarkable !
events of his future that would he |
of inestimable value to him, if he !
but knew them in advance. So
much did he become interested that ! j
he resolved to try the alleged abil
ity of the “Duchess” to reveal to
him the hidden future of which he 1
so profoundly ignorant. j
The old lady commenced In
placing her hands upon the head of
her subject, and “turning her ton
gue loose at both ends,” she she
moved her hands downward as she
talked, feeling of his nose, ears,
shoulders, pressing and feeling of
his entire body, proclaiming to' him
that all future event; of a person’s
life was established according to
the formation of the body.
So fast did site talk in broken
language that she kept “Uncle
John’s” brain busy to catch half
she said, but he got enough of her
tale to render him highly elated
with the glorious path that lav
stretched before him, and when
she concluded he bowed and thank¬
ed the “dear old soul” for point
ing out so freely and clearly to him I
the jewels that lined the path oi
his future days, and he felt divine
ly blessed at having been permitted J
by the gods to have met such in
formation Upon taking so unexpectedly. leave of the | j
party
he stepped into his buggy, ami
wondering whether lie had remain- j
ed in the camps of the elect too
long, sought his watch to know the
time, when lo! it was not in Ins
watch pocket. He
felt in all his pockets, but to no
avail; it was not there, and he i
knew he had it when arrived at the
camp. He turned about, and walk¬
ed to tlie tent and demanded his
watch, when he was assured that
none of them would have done the
“kind Father” any harm, request¬
ing him to thoroughly search all of
his P ockets ’ and u P on doin S so iu
found it in one oi the outside pock¬
ets of his overcoat. He made apol
ogies and immediately-left fortown.
Soon he discovered that he was
short fifty cents from his purse. lie
procured the services of the mar¬
shal Gibson and made baste to the
camp and demanded the fifty cents
which they paid him, stating that
“Father” was very badly in error
at thinking they would have taken
his money, Feeling good at the
i recovery of his money lie returned
to town with tlie marshal, but bad
; not been here long when he realiz
ed that a reading-glass he carried
to use instead of glasses was also
j “out of pocket.” He and the
marshal again made for tlie camp

and inquired for his glass, when
he was told that he had left it with
one of the children, and that it was
in a box from which one of the
party took it and gave it to
“Father,” with the assurance that
they had not thought of it when he
was there before. “Uncle John”
now feels proud that he got off so
light, and we have no doubt but
that he still fully believes all the
“Dushess.” told him, and he knows
a good deal more.
