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. Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County 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 R, T, Kenimer Severely Injured Saddle Turns and He Falls From Horse.

After some time he man aged to arise to his feet and dispite [ l ie pain of a terribly bruised leg an d broken ankle, walked to Mr. Ledford’s. Mr. Ledford being away from home he then went over to Mr. S. K. Cox’s, accom p&nied by some of Mr. Ledford’s crhLvlren who Mrs. Ledford had sent "'Eh him.
