Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Wednesday morning the County Commissioners made
the announcement that in the election held June 10 to de¬
termine whether White County would issue bonds to the
amount of $100,000 to build better roads had carried by 25
votes more than a majority of the registered voters in the
county.
It has now been fully discovered that a special regis¬
tration of the voters in the county was unnecessary, as the
section of the act governing this election provides that the
registration list used at the last general election shall he the
authority of the managers conducting the election.
This registration list contained the names of 971 per¬
sons, after the names of deceased and non-residents were re¬
moved. Hence it is that 510 persons voting for bonds give
the result 25 votes more than.the required majority of regis¬
tered voters.
Sealed bids have been asked for by the commissioners
and the bonds will he sold to the highest bidder as revealed
upon the opening of the bids June 30th at 2 I*. M. \
510 votes were polled for bonds and 204 against, as

forms,and let us celebrate the great
victory won by them, and at the i
same time let us show these boys
that we appreciate all they have
done for us and the cause of hu¬
manity.
Think this over and if the idea
is worth while let us ali join in it. ]
Let all speak out.
Yours for the soldier boy,

ReplY To The Troubles
01 The Mercbaut.
1 thank God that when lie
made the world lie made it big,
yea, big enough for the poor man
as well as the ri'ch. 1 further
thank Him that He did not make
it so everybody was to be tlie srme
and fthank Him that he has no
permitted it to be so that all are
merchants. I also thunk Him that
I te lets some good merchants live
and p ro s pe r in this old world, and
1 ;.‘k and give
me strength and health to work
out an honest support for my little
family and myself, and a little
more that I may be able to pay my
debts, for owing to misfortunes of
sickness and other causes, I am in
debt, for which I do not think a
man should be hung or even ub
vertised.
As for tlie troubles of the mer¬
chants, I think they had appeal to
God for help instead of the readers
of the Courier. When men get
far enough away to say good-bye
to all but money my opinion is lie
is off his The love of
money is the root of all evil, and I
will say it is good for the people
that money-loving men without
principle were born and still exist
without a nerve, for we can plain¬
ly see what they would do if they
had the nerve.
Now, as I am a poor man, and
scarce of paper, I want to say a
little, and mean lots. I Iiope to
meet every man I owe face to face
iu the near future and make him
feel good. I have but one goodby
to say, and that is to man who
gets my money and does not give
me credit for it. I hope some men
will reform and -return to their
cornfield religion and make
preachers instead of troubled mer
chants. 1 know they would be
much happier and get more ciiick
en to eat.
So I guess I had better ring off
for the present time. Yours for
justice between God and man.

A Letter From The Red Cross
To Mr. Williams.
Feb li ary 5, 1919
J. D. Williams.
Route 2, Cleveland, Ga.
My Dear Mr. Williams:
You have, of course, been noti¬
fied of the death of Arthur Wil¬
liams of Company M, 137 Infantry
but 1 want to write you a few
lines because I am at the hospital
where ee was brought, and where
he died at 3:45 P. M., January
24th of broncho—pneumonia.
He was quite seriously ill from
the beginning, but every thing
possible was doen for him in the
hope that be might take a turn for
the better. He made a good fight
for his life, and was very apprecia¬
tive of everything that was done
tor him. The doctors and nurses
in charge, who are amongst the
best to be found anywhere did
everything possible for him.
He was given a military funeral
the afternoon of the 26th of Jan¬
uary. His grave is number 68 in
the French Millitary Cemetery
here in Commercy. This cemete¬
ry lias in it tiie graves of nearly
three thousand Frenchmen, of
whom difed- either from wounds ot
sickness in tiie French Hospital
here during the war, so you can
have some idea of the werk done
in this little village alone.
His casket wrapped in an Am¬
erican flag, was reverently lower¬
ed by bis comrades to his last res¬
ting place, and after the service
beside the grave one of tiie boys
blew his last taps bidding him
peaceful sleep. There is some¬
thing most appealing in the notes
of tiie bugle, as they echo taps
over tiie hills, and it always brings
to me most keenly thoughts of the
people at horde who would give so
much to have my place at the side
of the grave.
His grave is marked by a cross
bearing his name and military
rank, to which is also affixed one
of his metal tags. The other is
always left around the neck. A
very careful record is kept of all
graves, so they may be located at
any time.
want to assure you again that
all possible was done for your boy
while he was here in the hospital.
The doctors and nurses were most
concientious, and take the deepest
interest in the boys. They all feel
re&ponsiple to the folks at home,
and are most careful and attentive
in each individual case.
He died for his country as surely
as if he had fallen on the field of
battle, and you may well be proud
of this hero boy of yours. His
country will always honor him,
and will love and honor you good
people people for tiie sacrafice you
have made.
From myself, and the hospital
force who knew and loved your
boy, accept deepest sympathy and
regret.
Hie hospital is Base 91, and is
located in Commercy, Muse France
I am going to enclose a postal
card view to give you some idea of
the buildings and grounds, there
are seven large building similar to
those shown.
Again assureing you of the sympa¬
thy of us all, I am.
Most sincerely,
Mabel E. Mossman.

Proclamation.
Re-in vestment of First Liberty
Loan Bond interest in Thrift and
War Savings Stamps is urged up¬
on the citizens of Cleveland, Ga.,
Mayor A. II. Henderson, Jr.
The Government will make a
semi annuals interest payment on
the Fist Liberty Loan on June 15th
at which time the sum of.$809,95 5.-
12 will be turned over to investers
in the Sixth Federal Reserve Dis¬
trict.
“Many of our citizens' own First
Liberty Loan Bonds” the Mayor
said: “The Treasury Department
has urged all who can to take this
interest money arid re-invest it in
Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
By this means they can turn their
interest into more interest. This
is profitable patriotism and I trust
that, those who own First Liberty
Loan Bonds will comply with the
Treasury Department’s request.
“Arrangements have been made
so that you can exchange your
Liberty Loan interest coupons for
Thrift and War Savings Stamps at
the post office, The postmaster
has a sufficient supply of these
Government securities on hand
and will be pleased to accomodate
you. War Savings Stamps are al¬
ways cashable at the post office on
ten days notice. We have too
much civic pride to do less than
our neighboring cities. They are
planning to work up a big increase
in War Savings Salesonjune 15th,
and to do it largely on their inter¬
est coupons.
