County Commissioners at
their regular meeting Wednes¬
day favored the petitions pre¬
sented them by people from
each school district in the
county and agreed to pay $30
per month toward County
Agent’s salary—the Board of
Education paying the balance.
There were something over
400 names.
I P. Cutrell Says It Pays
To Feed Cots.
Mr J. F. Cantrell, a resident of
nml route No. 1 from Cleveland,
is being asked quite often whether
the keeping of cows pays, and he
replies with the following:
“This is a record of the product
of seven cows kept by me
during the month of December,
1919. Four of these cows are heif¬
ers two to three years old. They
freshened in March, June and Nov¬
ember. The orher thr$e are strip¬
pers with second calf and freshen¬
ed frent May to Augyst. In the
pxsntl) of December these seven
,£ews produced 1702 pounds of milk
hi addition to what two calf’s con¬
sumed end what a family of six
heiidee the company nt Christmas
sud other company. The milk test
•bowed 5 per cent butter fat. This
fat at 70 cents per pound amounted
lO $94.57. I do not know tire exact
cost of farm, feed as it waa, lam largely raised
on the but quite sure
itt value was much less than the
amount received for milk. The best
cows are producing about $30.00
worth of butter fat per month, be¬
side# whey and manure.”

HENDERSON-STONE.
A most interesting wedding of
the holidays was that of Miss
Maude Henderson, daughter of
Cal. A. H. Henderson, Jr., to Mr.
John Stone, of Nicholson, Ga., on
Dec. 35, at the home of the bride’s
grandfather. Mr. J. W. Hender
*00.
Thi* wedding takes away one of
the most respected and admired
young ladies of our little city, who
by her kindly terms and personal
charm won a score of friends, and
by her and the groom leaving the
little city causes a shade of sadnees
through the entire circle of the
young people. Miss Henderson
was a young lady who was admir¬
ed by the older people as well as
by the young for her many kind
acts.
We are unable to give justice to
the groom by him being a stranger
and not having any information at
band.
After the ceremony the hapgy
couple left for Franklin, N. C., to
visit Miss Aenderson’s sister, Mrs.
F. H. Higdon, then to Nicholson
where they will make their future
borne.
The Courier extends to this hap¬
py couple a long and prosperous
journey through lige.

CLEVELAND. GEORGIA, JAN. 9, 1P20
Mr, Jim Mincey Murdered
On last Friday, about dark Mr,
Jim Mincey a merchant of the
Western part of the county, was
shot and killed in his store. George
and Lewis Edmondson are charged
with the killing.
As we understand, the Edmond¬
sons owed Mincey either a note or
an account and in the settlement a
dispute arose. Mincey's two boys,
aged 12 and 16 years witnessed the
killing of their father. Only one
shot was fired, so we are told taking
sffect in or near Mincey’s right eye
while he was cut in the face with
some instrument supposed to liHve
been done by the other Edmondson.
This is a deplorable happening
and means trouble for both families
for years to come.— Echo
