Hubert McDonald were visitors of
Atlanta last week.
Messrr. Dewey Stovall and Zeb
Curtis here laBt week,
Mr. Marvin Reece, who has been
in Texas for the past few months,
arrived in our little city Saturday
night. Mr. Reece, it is needlessly
to say, is very glad to look on the
smilling faces of some of the peo¬
ple of Cleveland. Marvin always
carries a smile with him and of
course you can imagine how two
smiles are greeted. He will prob
aly remain with us for awhile.

The long wished rural route by
by the people of Town Creek will
start January 2, 1920. These peo¬
ple have had to go some 4 or 5
miles for their mail and which
caused much inconvenience. They
are all “tickle to death” to hear of
the good news.
Mr. Ed. Hood, who has been
sick for the past few months, is
able to be out.
That great worker Mr. W. H.
Bell was in town Thanksgiving
day and of course can’t be con¬
tented without doing somebody
some good, and be immediately got
busy and started a movement to
get Rev. S. D. Cherry a turkey for
Thanksgiving and you bet he suc¬
ceeded in the movement.
Editor Smith, of The Dahlonega
Echo, was in town a few hours
Wednesday on business and, of
course, gave us a short call. Edit¬
or Smith keep “Uncle Bill” pull¬
ing out his hair over some of his
clever commits. The Nuggett
notorious writer must pay tribute
to Mr. Smith for be said that The
Echo would soon fire her big gun
for The Nuggett was the only
newspaper that could exist in
Lumpkin county. It seems that
the good people of Lumpkin coun¬
ty think difierent, for The Echo is
getting out an extra good country
newspaper and “Uncle Bill he is
banding you every week more of
that “hot stuff” than you oan
digest without pain.

Clean Army
Perhaps the cleanest body of men
ever assembled was General Per¬
shing’s army when ready to go over
the top. The life of continence is es¬
sential to the athlete, the soldier and
under all conditions where manhood
in its fullest sense is demanded.
Is that demand any more urgent
to the army than to every day life?

have taught the lesson; will you heed
