HuDters Warned o! Law
On Fur-Bearing Animals.
Hunters throughout the State
have been warned by State Game
and Fish Commissioner J. Frank
Rhodes against violations of the
law protectinp fnr-berring animals
as the hunting season draws near.

vents the killing between March 1
and Nov. 20 of certain fur-bearing
animals, while sucli game as bear,
civitcat and wildcat can be killed
at any time of the year,” said Mr.
Rhodes. “The fur-bearing animals
which it is unlawful to kill during
the restricted season are skunk,
o’possum, red and grey fox, beaver
mink, ottor.muskiat and raccoon.”
The change in law herein was
made to conform to the federal law
protecting game and fur-bearing
animals.

Captured at Greenville,
After Mr. John Stovoll’s family
had returned from Cleveland Sun¬
day night where they attended
childrens exercises, and put their
new Dodge automobile in the
garage, a bunch of crooks, thieves
or robbers broke the lock on the
door und drove his car off. They
did not miss the car until about
7 o’clock Monday morning im¬
mediately got busy to see if the
crooks could be caught. Mr.
Stovall went to Greenville S. C.
and found that an officer of a near
py town had suspicioned these men
to be liquor haulers and telephoned

arrest or investigate. The officers
ItJopked the road and the fellow
%ho was driving his car made a get
a-wny. So far no arrests have

OBITUARY.
Herbert Eugene Gtiffin.
()n Wednesday afternoon, Aug¬
ust the 34th, the spirit of Herbert
Eugene Griffin passed from its
earthly home into rest. Although
his life was short, for he was not
yet twenty-six years old, it was a
life rich in service — willing,
obedient service to his mother and
father throughout the years of his
boyhood; service to his country
trough the two years of its need
for spldiers : happy, devoted service
to bis bride of a year and loyal,
efficient service to his employers.
It i6 given to but few men to
possess all the splendid qualities
that were combined in “Hub”
Griffin’s character. Honesty,
truthefulness, unbounded energy
and industry, kindliness and charity
fpward all of earth’s creatures,
>vprp the examples of his daily life.
And in bis quite, timid way he
walked among us and blessed us
with bis Christ-like life. Now his
sudden and tragid going has
brought to all who knew and loved
him a fuller realization of his great
worth.
IJe died as he had always lived—
iq belpfiffnesis to others—and so,
through our tears, we read in God’s
own words what we feel was whis¬
pered to “Hub” in that last
moment by his Lord: “Thou hast
been faithful in small things; I
will make thee ruler over many
things. Enter thou into the joys
of thy Lord”.

Editor of the Courier :
If you will allow me space in
your paper I will say just a few
words in reply to Mr. Brannon
Nix’s article in the Courier of Sep.
Li
First, I want Mr.Nix to rememb¬
er that the people of Chattahoochee
district have always been in favor
of bonds and good roads, no matter
what part of the county the good
roads went through.
In regard to the proposition put
up to the people in the court-house
at Clevelanb. I was not there and
do not know anything about that,
but the general understanding in
this part of the county was if bonds
carried a road would be built thru
the county where it would be the
most benefit.
Now what I want to ask Mr.
Nix is this, if he thinkr a road built
through just the dorner of the
county would be the most benefit
to the county? -
Now, if he can think this, 1 do
not see how he can possibly set
forth his plea for the general wel¬
fare of all as he does in his article.
In regard to the road through
Unicoy Gap being for the upbuild¬
ing of Helen we people up here do
not care whether the road goes
through Helen or not, just so it is
put where it will be of the most ser¬
vice to White county. Helen is
just like the rest of White county
towns anyway—just a wide place
in our sorry roads.
It is all true the people of White
county gave the N. W. R. R- $20,
000, but we dispute Mr. Nix where
ha says it was donated to give
Helen a R.R. 'Ihe most of this
money was given by the people in
Naeoochee valley and the surround¬
ing country, Helen and Roberts'
town. The people of Cleveland
gave some, but what caused them
to open up their hearts and pocket
books? When the authorities of
the N, W- R. R. began tbeir sur¬
vey from Cornelia to Helen then
they began to turn loose their
money, and not until then. So it
seems to us people up here that
this money was given just as much
for the benefit of Cleveland as
Helen.
Mr. Nix has surely forgot that a
road through Tesnatee orFrogtown
Gap would leave all of the north¬
east corner of White county about
twenty miles from the highway.
Now we people here feel that
we*are entitled to some benefit
from the road money. We have
been paying' our road tax ever
since the taxation system, was es¬
tablished in White county, and a
large part of our tax money has
been going from year to year to
build up the roads in the lower part
of the county and around Cleveland
Now, the only thing we want is a
road leadinu through White countv
where it will be of the most service
to all. I ant very much afraid that
when Mr. Nix goes to prayer for
the road through one little corner
of the county, that -his prryer is
very much like (he prayer for “me
and my wife, my son John and his
wife, us four and no more. Now
Mr. Nix says he “believes in equal
sights to all, as much as possible.”
Now we believe in equal rights in
evesything at all times, but we do
not believe in one mnn being bene
filed when twenty men are equally
interested would derive no benefit
at all. Mr. Nix says “that in pub¬
lic matters we should deny our-

why My Money Should be Insured
llcCilHSC My peace ef mind from the assurance that my
money is INSURED, no matter what happens to
the Bank, is of the greatest importance to me.
Because I cannot keep a burglar from stealing my money,
nor can I prevent its loss by fire if it should be in
my house and it should burn; BUT I CAN GET
MY MONEY INSURED BY THIS BANK.
Because Tbe loss of my hard earned money from any
cause might w rk a hardship upon those depend¬
ent upon me.
Because It is very essential that I protect my money, no
matter whether “SAVINGS” or “WORKING
CAPITAL.”
Because The wise and successful man of today has done
away with the bid saying “I will trust to luck;”
he foretells his own “luck;” and wisdom prompts
me to put my money in the INSURED BANK.
Because It protects the widow and the orphan in time of
need. It is very necessary that MY MONEY H
MUST BE INSURED.
Because He who looks not “BEFORE” finds himself
“BEHIND.”
Because It is a guarantee that my “working capital” will
not be abruptly impaired, nor my “savings” blot¬
ted out on account of my money NOT being in¬
sured.
Because THIS BANK offers this insurance FRES OF
COST TO ME.
Because Wisdom is my best asset; Wisdom suggests
protection an 1 insurance of deposils guarantees
proteefion.
