before as they appear to be now.
Rev. H. M. Edwards gives his
congregation a Bible lecture every
Sunday night \\ Inch is very edify
ing.
Rev. Marvin C. Allen, who
came home from Young Harris a
*
few days ago, has measles.
We were sorry to hear of the
sickness and death around Cleve¬
land recently. The next life we
live is an all-day business, so it is
not all of life to live, nor all of
death to die.
The children’s day exercises at
Mt. Pleasant will he the third Sun¬
day in May. In Addition, we ex¬
pect to have some lawyers and
preachers on hand.
Mr. Wellborn Helton, who has
relapsed with measles, was brought
home from Cleveland Monday, and
is very ill.
Loudsville Lines.
Mr. Frank Lawson and sister, of
Hall county, spent Saturday night
here with relatives.
Aunt Sally Cox went down and
spent Saturday night and Sunday
with her sister, Mrs. J. G. Thomas,
near Hood’s Chapel,
Mr. John Purdue, of Habersham,
came up on a visit to his best girl
Saturday. John likes Habersham
all right, but a pretty girl up here
has John’s heart.
We wish to return thanks to the
good people of Dukes Creek and

Aunt Sallie Ilealin is visiting
here at present.
The other night when one of our
young men was traveling along a
dark and lonesome road his atten¬
tion was attracted by a sound. 1 p
on turning his head in the direction
from which the sound came be ob¬
served something with two big
eyes. He decided he would make
it run away, when to his surprise it
came toward him with the two big
eyes slrining out of the darkness.
To say that he ran does not give
the subject justice. He broke tbe
speed limit for about a quarter of a
mile of road nearly all upgrade. He
stated to us that be lost the top oft'
of a cau which had something good
in it, and upon being asked if he
returned for the lid, he said, “No
a man can face a cannon or gun as
easily' as he could lace that object
in the dark.” We notice that his
hair is tnrning a little grey. We
think he wants us to go over the
same ground that he did to see if
we see and hear what he did,, but
as we are growing old, getting
baid beaded, and retired from the
business of running, we decided we
would not go and see for him.
Mr. Doo Wa Lim,
A native Korean, and a convert
to Christianity under the ministry
of a Southern Methodist Mission¬
ary to the Orient, will deliver three
addresses on the Cleveland Circuit
next Sunday'. At 11 130 he will
speak at Mossy Creek ; 3 : 3 o P.M.
at Zion; 8 P.M. at Cleveland. All
w ho can will do well to hear these
lectures. Lim is in America to pre¬
pare himself for service to his own
people, and speaks with an earnest¬
ness that goes straight to the heart.
Don’t forget the time and places.

Brief Summary 0! Georgia’s New Bone
Dry Law.
The following are the substantial
provisions of the bone-dry prohibi¬
tion law which is now in effect in
Georgia, having been passed by tbe
legislature late Wednesday after¬
noon and signed by the governor
Wednesday night of last week :
The law makes it a misdemeanor
to ship or transport any quanity of
any prohibited liquor to any person
in the state, either from without
the state or from place to place
within the state, except alcohol and
sacramental wine as noted below.
The law makes it a misdemeanor
for any person to have in his or her
possession, at any place, for any
purpose, any quantity of any pro¬
hibited liquor, except alcohol and
sacramental wine, as noted below.
Generally speaking, tbe term
“prohibited liquor” applies to
whisky, to wine, to beer and to
any drink containing more than
onehalf of one per cent of alcohol
which can be used as a beverage.
The law makes it a felony,
punishable by imprisonment of from
one to live years without the privi¬
lege of a fine, to manufacture any
prohibited liquor in the state.
The law makes it prirna facie
evidence of a misdemeanor against
the owner in possession or tenant
in possession of land, if any ap¬
paratus for the manufacture of any
prohibited liquor is discovered on
such land.
The law makes contraband of any
apparatus for the manufacture of
any prohibited liquor, and provides
that any sheriff or arresting 'officer
who finds such apparatus shall seize
it sutfftriaffjy flWitesfroyit without
an order of the court.
The law provides that in a con¬
viction for the manufacture of any
prohibited liquor, there shall be as¬
sessed, in addition to the regular
cost, a special court cost of $25,
and that this $25 shall be paid to the
arresting officer securing the con¬
viction.
The law provides that any vehicle
used to transport any prohibited
liquor on land or water shall be
seized by any sheriff or arresting
officer and shall be sold at public
outcry, and the proceeds of sale
shall be divided between tbe county
and the officer making the seizure
and the solicitor prosecuting the
case. This section provides a de¬
fense for an owner of a vehicle
whose vehicle was used without his
knowledge or consent.
Two exceptions, and two only,
are contained in the law, and these
apply to alcohol for medical
pharmaceutical and manufacturing
purposes, and to wine for sacram¬
ental purposes.
The most elaborate and drastic
regulations are imposed upon the
shipment and use of alcohol and
sacramental wine the intent of these
being to make certain that they are
used for no other purposes than
those permitted by law.

CLEV ELAN?."E§ IA, APR. 5, 1917.
After an illness of about fouf
weeks with measles, William Betf
jamin Allison, son of Mf. and Mtfs.
R. L. Allison, who resides a f«f’
miles out of town, was called fro
the midst of tlie family, from t!8f «.upe
midst of his school mates, from 1 #
midst of his religious associates
mix and to mingle with the bles<
beyond the tomb.
Ben, by which name he wijis
usually known, was born Align ?
11, 1895, and died March 31, 19T
the lie joined age of the 12 years, Methodist being church a met J
ber of Loudsville church. He w|s
very much devoted to the duties M
the church and Sunday School, and
was secretary of the Sunday .School
at Yonah. That he was steadft&t
in his purpose he made manifest by
publicly ottering prayer and words
of admonition.
Ben was an obedient son, add
during his sickness bore his trouble
with patience and fortitude, and
gratitude to those tenderly and at¬
tentively administered to his nee^s
It is sad to give up one whose life
amongst men would doubtless ha#e
been for great good, and who by
precept and example was so well
calculated to spread abroad the
blessed influence of godly living.
Yet lie who doeth all things well
makes no mistakes*., The human
link snapped asundaj on earth
forged anew in heavef|.
His remains were Mid So rest in
Cleveland cemetery a funeral
service filled with induration in
the Methodist church. llis class¬
mates rendered a beautiful • song
and Rev. Thompson delivered a
.
sublime sesmoft-parlicularly
to the occasion, and at the close of
the services all were permitted to
look for the last time upon the face
of the departed. From the church
the remains were borne by the
hands of his school comrades to its
last resting place in Cleveland
cemetery.
The deceased leaves a father and
mother, one brother and five sisters,
relatives and many friends to mourn
his departure from their midst to a
brighter and happier slate of ex¬
istence.

We are glad to see the beautiful
spring weather; farmers are mak
ing good use of it.
Mrs. Sarah Jackson is very feeble
at this writing.
ML J. Bryan is very low with
apendicitis. \\'e hope to hear of
his recovery soqn,
Mr. Harye Adams was up this
wav on his bicycle Sunday.
Mr, and Mrs. Wesley Nix of

Mr. Charley Adams js all smiles.
It’s a girl. *
We understand there is to be an

the second Sunday in this month.
Everybody is invited to come and
bring well filled baskets.
Some of the boys and girls are
going to have an egg hunt in this
part next Sunday.
Mr. Frank King and family have
moved in this part recently.
Now that we have gotten our
schedule straightened-out and feel
that we can maintain it, wish to
say a word to the people of White
County in reference to recent
irregular service.
It is useless to refer to the impedi
ments brought about by constant
rains, causing washouts, delayed
trackwork and two different floods
greatly retarding our work on per¬
manent bridge at Chattahoochee
river, near Gainesville.
In addition to these troubles, we
found it necessary to repair two
locomotives in order to meet govern
ment requirements; the shops at
Gainesville were over-run with
work, necessitating our sending
these engines to Southern railway
shops at Atlanta; a rented engine
proved inefficient.
We could not maintain our regu¬
lar schedule while handling both
freight and passenger business with
insufficient power but the laws of
Georgia forced us to try and oper¬
ate two trains in each direction ; by
annulling the two middle trips,
regular schedule could have been
maintained.
We are employing extra men on
all sections and taking advantage
of the settled weather, having
thousands of ties on line of road,
placing in same and doing ditch¬
ing work. It is useless to say how
the wet weather retarded our road
work.
In these trying times, we have
had two classes of patrons to satisfy
those who desired their freight
shipments and those who demand¬
ed prompt mail handling; we con
sidered both as very *
lienee have tried to do our best
Handling our ENTIRE business.
I feel that from now on that
will regain our deserved
of rendering the best and most
liable freight and passenger service
of any short or non-trunk line in
Georgia; many citizens of Cleve¬
land have so spoken of our road on
various occaVona and 1 feel very
keenly their recent drastic criticisms
I very highly appreciate your
cooperation and help at all times.
Yours very truly.
