There must be a return to the
practice of bartering. Let the
farmer pay bis doctor, preacher,
mechanic and other professional
creditors in corn, potatoes, syrup,
chickens, eggs,,hams, chitterlings,
sausage, etc., which these profes¬
sional men would buy with the
cash if the farmers should pay them
in cash. But let there be no at¬
tempt at profiteering. We have
beard of a man who wanted to pay
bis preacher with sorghum at $1,00
per gallon when the market price
thereof was only fifty cents. Of
course this man does not expect to
go to heaven when he dies.—Com¬
merce News.
Yes, that’s the way of people,
Unde John. They think the pro¬
fessional man don’t know the
market price.
A number of land owners in the
vicinity of Commerce have inserted
advertisements in that estimnblle
paper, The News, informing the
hunters that their land had been
posted. They didn’t state the
reason why, but we judge, it is for
the preservation of the game from
being totally extinguished or for
their protection against 1 he boll
weevil.
White county’s sportsmen should
see that our game is not totally de¬
stroyed by hunters who lmve
ing to do but follow a dog
after day. It is true sportsmanlike
for you to do your part in
that the game in While county
protected. If you are a good
sportsman you will see that
game is protected. Report any
violation to the Game Warden of
White county, Will Freeman, If
a hunter can’t he a true sportsman
let him know that you are, and
that you are going to see the game
jii White county is protected.
Our good friend, J. W.
Whorter, who is the sound, sober
and logical thinking editor of the
Winder News, asks the question :
“Why is the difference so great
between raw products and manu¬
factured products?’-’ Bro. Me, it
seems to us if “profiteering.” rail¬
road rates and wages were
in proportion then the manufactur¬
ed products would tumble in prices.
The producer lias had one dreadful
year to pull through, and for him
to face another equal as bad should
arouse the thinking business men.
If the farmers fail to prosper, can
you business men prosper? Then,
you should begin to do some think¬
ing. You owe it to the farmer,
you can help him, and you can,
you will. But one business man
can’t do it ; they must all cooperate.
You owe it to your country to
the financial stagnation.
The trouble rests between
manufactuer and the retailor.
retailor does not make this
ous profit. Then it is very
that the manufacturer, jobber and
■wholesaler should be called
by this government to not
such enumerous profits. Why
shoes so high? 1 lie
is running only part
tion t want the supply above
demand.
T hen, Mr. banner, you
demand your Congressman
Senators to have an
tion” and learn why prices
be more in proportion. This

The Root resolution to
special rights in China, respect lie
soverignty and territorial integrity,
and provide her with the fullest op¬
portunity to develope, has been ac¬
cepted and adopted by the Con¬
ference. which was orte of the
greatest achievements of the Con¬
ference. But there stills remains
unsolved at least two problems,
tlifit of withdrawal of existing en¬
croachments, and that it does not
provide no agency to apply, inter¬
pret and enforce its provisions.
The Senate confirmed the name
of Alexander Davidson for post¬
master of Cleveland November 23.
A number of our readers will be
glad to bear of the election of
two former White county citizens
as eouncilmen for the City of Cor¬
nelia—W. R. Tatum, formerly of
Blue Creek district, ane John K.
Kitnsey, son of Judge J. J. Kimsey.
John is seemingly very popular in
Cornelia, although young he de¬
feated the cashier of the First
National Bank. He will hold the
position as councilman-at-large.
The Ninth District Press Asso¬
ciation meets here next summer.
We want to give them a rousing
good time.
City Court convenes Monday a
mighty good tine to pay your sub¬
scription to The Courier.
A certain fellow in Cleveland,
whether he claims to be a hunter or
not we leave it for you to be the
judge, left our town
Tuesday morning of
last week to kill all the game in the
country and returned Thursday
night of same week and only got
one squrriel. To give our honest
opinion of such a hunter w off Id
please the game in any country.
In fact, we somehow believe he got
somebody to shoot the squirrel lor
him. lie could have had much
better luck in Mars. Buell a hunter
as that can never violate the game
laws in Georgia. We are not
going to^iisclose his name for we
are confident lie would deny going
a hunting.
We are rcqusled to announce
that Walker Ml Camp W. (L W.
565 will meet December 10th to
elect officers.
Has all tlie women registered?
Do you deserve to have a voice in
the coming election? The law gives
you the privilege to vote, and to
our humble opinion you should
vote, if you are desirous of seeing
and having men elected to the
governing offices of Cleveland.
Women as a rule, have a belter
regard for the higher, better and
nobler ideals than men and it is
your duty to see that the standards
are not lowered. What do you
say, women Cleveland?
We received a sample of the best
Irish potatoes we have ever seen
from Bupt. J. W. Maeion last Fri¬
day afternoon. Prof. .Marion grew
these potatoes on bis farm 011 Pink
mountain. He proved convenc
iivgly that he can do something else
besides superintend and teach a
sshool. Prof, is one of our most
progressive citizens, and by bis
untiring efforts he intends to see
Cleveland grow.
During the holidays we wish to
impress upon all who go hunting
to use precaution about shooting.
The following appeared in

THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
The industious farmer has much
of his land turned and in fine con¬
dition for spring preparation; in
fact it will be in such condition
after the winter freezes as it is im¬
possible to make it in tile spring
when not turned in the fall. Just
how much “open” weather we are
to have'during the winter no one
can tell, but the probabilites are
that we are not to have much.
England,s leading and most
prominent publisher brought his
leading editor to the United States
recently and left him here. He
said : “No man has completed his

younger generation, as it used to
be, an American bad not completed
his education until he had traveled
in Europe.

You bet your life, we ain't going
to get out a paper Christmas week.
The London Daily mail has an¬
nounced that they have dropped
II. O. Wells’ articles on account of
his attitude and position toward
France. We notice Mr William
Ileurst’s papers haven’t made that
announcement. Wells is a briliant
writer but his articles are tented to
much with Gerpv.m and Russian
propaganda. Brisbane, the high¬
est paid newspaper man in the
world, always tries to prejudice
the minds of his readers against
England and Japan. He is doing
that every day.
The Interstate Commerce Com¬
mission issued n positive order that
railroads were to reduced rates ap¬
proximately 16% on hay and grain
and "to be in effect
before next December 27.
In some parts of the country an
increase of 40% in 1930 has been
in effect, and by this order it is
thought to greatly relieve the
situation.
Star carrier front Cornelia to

and the second night it disappeared
and nobody knows who got it.

A number of members of Cleve¬

preacher a pounding last Friday
night. .Others should been there—
it wes their duty, but they were
not. We trust they had a gooe ex¬

not too late to take Bro. Green way
something. Will you do it ? We
trust you will.
Miss Ethel Craven spent the

Our blacksmith on “Little Nia

on December 14. Bro. Quinn in¬
tends to put all of the pots into
one on that day. Not many people
ever have the opportunity to cele¬
brate their Golden Wedding. We
expect to see Bro. Quinn look and
act as though he was a lad of six¬
teen.
Drs. Noble and Penhaliegon,
dentists from Atlanta, will remain
in Cleveland for a few days longer.
Dr. Penhaliegon lias rented the
building below Farmers & Mer¬
chants Bank and expects to make
Cleveland his future home. Cleve¬
land needs a good dentist, and Dr.
Penhaliegon has been in that
bnsiness for some 20 odd years and
be should know his business—-we
believe lie does. He will appreci¬
ate your patronage.

O. C. Bell has been circulating
a petition to the citizens for
electric lights. He Jias on that list
about 350 lights. This movement
should receive every encouragement
from our citizens, for we all know
what electn c lights and power
will mean to our town. It is our
duty to lend him pur helping hand
in this movement.
Rev. William Greenway preach¬
ed to a good congregation Sunday
at 11 and at 7:30. Owing to the
inclemency of the weather his con¬

would have been had it not been
raining. Everyone that we have
heard express themselves, spoke
very highly of his sermons.

THE MOUTH IS THE SOURCE 0?
INFECTION
Most contagious diseases find their
way through the mouth.
Disease germs cannot thrive or sur¬
vive unless bad conditions exist.
Defective teeth causes much of the
sickness among children and adults.
By careful attention to the cleans¬
ing of the mouth and sterilization of
the food, the alimentary tract may be
rendered comparatively sterile.
From a hygienic standpoint .he se¬
cretions of the nlouth constitute one
of the chief resources of respiratory
infection.
The mouth is one of the greatest
sources of infection that we have to
deal with in preventive medicine to¬
day.
In the words of Dr. William Osier:
"Oral Hygiene the Hygiene of the
mouth. There is not one single thing
more important to the public in the
whole range of Hygiene than that."
