THE CLEVELAND COURIER
v T OL. XXII, No 1.1
Georgia Press
Session at
The delegate from the Courier
to the Georgia Press Association,
field at Carrollton July 19, 20, re¬
turned home Sunday on the noon
train—looking long, fat, and feel- i
ing fine. I
It would be difficult to tell all J
about the trip and ihe hospitality !
ot the people of Carrollton and
Carroll county to the newspaper
men in the necessary short space
which we must use.
The party were met in Atlanta
by a delegation from Carrollton,
Here in Atlanta is where we met
old friends and made new ac
quaintances.
We were about an hour late in
leaving Atlanta, and soon after the
train pulled out of the yards it
gan raining, and to tell you the!
truth we never saw it rain
in our life than it did at Douglas
ville, consequently we were very
late in reaching Carrollton.
Upon our arrival at Carrollton j
Sheriff Garrett told a good friend
of the writer (Wv A. Walker, an
unmarried young man) and
self to get in his car.
We did not know who the man
was, but as he shut the door he in
troduced himself as Sheriff Garrett
of Carroll county , and informed us
that if he locked us up he would
give us the key to unlock the
from the inside. We immediately
thanked him and he drove us to the
hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs.
R. F. Hyatt, College St. • Mr.
Hyatt was chairman of the
tainmefif committee, and he was a!
ways on the job to seo that every
thing possible was being done for
pleasure and comfort of the “boys’*
during tqeir stay in that little city.
We have never met a more con
genial and sweeter woman than
Mrs. Ayatt. She did everything
to make Mr. Walker and myse || ;
have a good time, and we will al
ways have a fond remembrance j
dear in our heart for this home.
Even the children, Bob and Mary, |
helped to entertain us. You ean
not imagine such a lovable home !
until you have had the pleasure of j
entering it. i
1 here were between . 50 _ and , 100 ,
‘
automobiles , at the depot , to meet ,
and to Carry us to the homes to
which we were assigned. V\ e
would love to prove ourself capable
of anything approaching a true
description of the convention, hut
some interesting happenings prob¬
ably keep us from telling more. It
was tar more entrancing in lriend
ly association than the chorus ot
awakening birds at the dawn ot a
spring morning. Never a child’s.
dream on Christmas eve equalled
the extravagance ot Carrollton’s
people in entertaining. Our mem¬
ory will become impatient with it.-.
ceaseless failure to comprehend
register the profound depth and
breadth ot the happiness Carroll
ton let loose within us. We are
not indulging our imagination in,
wild words; we are struggling
with grim futility bordering upon
the impetent fury of an amateur
artist whose colors will not match
he illusion, to give a vague
glimpse of what was ours at Car
rollton.
Hon. C. E. Roop gave a very
beautiful address of welcome, fol-!
lowed by Mayor II. W. Flourney |
extending the greetings of the city
to the Georgia Press Association, j
to which Dan Bickers, of the:
Savannah News, responded.

of the weather it was not advisable
to go there.
Tuesday night a reception was
tendered the party at the court
house lawn, where Carrollton’s
beautiful ladies served forty differ
ent kinds of cake, barrels of punch
and seas ol lemonade.

WILL GET ENOUGH—AND
HAVE KM TO SPARE
The Hon. Thos. Bell, representa¬
tive of the ninth congressional dis
trict and candidate to succeed hirn
self, was in town shaking hands
and chatting with friends, viewing
the'landscape over, taking a census
of the political situation and look
ing calm and cool as a cucuiTfber,
regardless of the fact that it was a
warm dav. Mr. Bell is not at all
alarmed. Far from it. He never
had a kindlier greeting in Corn
merce. lie has always had a large
following here, but lie has never
seen the day when lie had more real
friends here than now. Realizing
this, he was in a most happy mood,
ile'lias been roving around in the
district and is delighled with the
situation. lie would prefor, of
course, after so many years of hard
service for the people not to forced
to make an aggressive race in the
heat of the summer. He songht to
avoid it by inducing others to enter
the race, but everybody is saying
that To n Bell is the man. and if
people say so, |t here’s nothing
left for him to do but to make it. j
He expects to get enough votes to
nominate him and then have many
thousands left over for good meas

Hardwick and Watson to Speak in
Gainesville August 18th and 19th
Gainesville is to have an awak
ening (not that it is a very sleepy
city, but just to make her more
wide awake) on August iStli and
16th. Anyway, if she does not
arouse from her slumbers on those
days it will not be because ex-Sen
alor Hardwick ana Hon. Thos. E.
Watson do not do their best to
arouse the people of Gainesville
and the surrounding country. Of
course, we do not mean to say that
these speakers will talk so loud and
so long that they can be heard
throughout the whole ninth district
but it is the things they are likely
to say that will awaken the people
as they are passed from mouth to
ear for the next few weeks.
Mr. Ha ad wick will address the
people on the iSth and Mr. Thos.
E. Watson on the i 9 th. If you
want to hear them, this will be
your opportunity. They are both
prominent men and they will be
worth your hearing, and when yon
have heard them you have brains
of your own to decide whether you
should believe any part or all they
say

all ot last Saturday in Commerce,

his general demeanor.
The people love Mr. Bell for his
steadfastness of purpose, fidelity to
trust, loyalty to friends anti un¬
