Jesse Palmer’s Residence Burns.
About ! i :3c Monday the alarm
\vu* given that the residence of Mr.
Jesse Palmer was on fire. People
in town rushed to the scene but too
late to make any attempt to save
the building for the whole roof was
ablaze except a small part of the
kitchen. When discovered the
flames had penetrated the roof near
the chimney on the side of the roof
next to the road, and it is believed
by those who were first upon the
scene that the fire orginuted in the
garret near the chimney. Neither
Mr. Palmer nor any member of the
family or any one else, so far as is
known, were about the house at the
time the fire was discovered, Mr.
and Mrs. Palmer having gone over
to Mr. T. B. Skelton’s during the
morning.
Those who first reached the burn¬
ing building forced an entrance
through one of the windows and
rescued from the fury of the flames
a sewing machine and a trunk, this
being all that was saved, for the_
heat was so intense it was impossi¬
ble to endure it longer.
Mr. Palmer carried $800 insur¬
ance on the building and $2oo on
the furnishings.
Does This German Know Germany?
Here is some mighty good food
for he who believes he knows more
than he does, and we suggest that
you read it and contemplate the
words of this eminent instuctor.
Prof. Max F. Meyer of Missouri
university, who was born in Ger
many and spent nineteen y*«r*
teaching German schools before
coming to America :
‘•If Germany wins this war, fifty
years hence, its government will
rule the American people. 1 do
not want my American children to
be put under the yoke which I es
caped by coming to America. My
hope is that the German govern¬
ment will be overthrown and that
the German nation, my relatives
and friends, will enter an interna¬
tional organization for peace and
justice. But the German govern¬
ment, this fearlul danger to our
future, can be overthrown only by
raising armies, not by- sitting
around the council table of the
‘People’s Council of America’ and
'working for the repeal of the con
scription laws.’ ”

A few days ago the Courier re-|
ceived a letter by doe course of
mail, plainly addressed “Cleveland
Courier,” which keeps us guessing
both at its source of origin and for
whom it was intended, since we
have no fair damsels in our employ
seeking co-partnership with a
“woodchopper.” Now in the in¬
terest of those so closely entwined
within the ties that bind two hearts
as one, and that the longing by
this unfortunate occurrence has
brought to the affable soul of the
writer and the one for whom it was
intended, we quote the letter in
part that the sender may know his
error, for love has many ways its
wonders to perform :
“Dear
“There was a man in your settle¬
ment that told me you was the best
girl in White county and you
would make a man a good wife
and I want a bread baker and I
guess you want a woodchopper
now if you want to change your
way of living please let me hear
from you soon for I sure do like
your looks fine and 1 think you
will make a good wife and be good
to a man and stay with him. I
would like to see you and talk with
you a while by Loudsville camp¬
meeting or before....! hope to
hear from you soon and if you
cant come to campmeeting please
write me a note---

Convict Labor On Roads Wanted
8y John t Kenimer,
To the people of White county :
A lot lias been said of late of the
road system in White county, and
nothing has been done as we know
of in regard to a change.
Good roads in our county are
what all enterprising people want,
and we are sure that the system
will have to be changed before we
get our wishes and needs.
It seems that we are taxed be¬
yond that which we are able to en¬
dure for road purposes without any
good permanent results, and us
folks down here are tired of the
load.
I desire first-class roads in the
county of White, and we will have
to adopt the working of convicts
before we can possibly have them,
1 trust that our next grand jury
will recommend such a move,
then if it takes some legislation on
it I urgently request our represent¬
ative and senator to see to it that
we get our wishfes granted at the
next session of the legislature.
Respectfully,
John K. IxENtifBR.

Agricultural Department Advises
Buying Seed Wheat Early.
Wheat for seed is one of the big
and important agricultural prob¬
lems ibis fall. Many sections have
all they need; others are at a loss
as to where to get it.
Bankers, merchants and local
county food councils should get to¬
gether NOW and solve the seed
problem. The state market bureau
stands ready to help. Those who
need seed and cannot get it, should
appy to the market bureau. Those
who have seed to sell should list it
with the market bureau.
But by all means, Georgia must
raise this fall an winter enough
wheat, rye, barley and cover crops
to take care of herself. We can do
no longer depend on outside agen¬
cies.
The market bureau is now in
business ready to render service to
the producers and consumers. The
citizens of the Stale, any nnd all of
them, are welcome to call on it. It
will do its very best to respond to
their needs.
