THE CLEVELAND COURIER
v OL. XXIII, No 40.)
Letter Prom Bell and Reed
Washington, D. C., June 83,192a
Dear Mr. Editor:
I inclose copy of a letter from
Mr, T. W. Reed, Assistant Chief
Forester, which 1 feel should be
published, thereby creating en¬
thusiasm among our people and
helping greatly in accomplishing
the pu.poses of our recent tour
through the mountain section of
our State. If we continue the
fight begun we are bound to suc¬
ceed.
I want to see a highway con¬
structed from Pine Mountain to
Ellijay via Clayton, Hiawassee,
Blairsvilie, Morganton, Blue
Ridge; then highways to tap this
country road from Atlanta to Clay¬
ton, from Gainesville to Hiawas¬
see, from Dahionega and Cleve¬
land to Blairsvilie, from Dahionega
to l'occoa Basin to Blue Ridge,
then from Dawsonville to Amsca
lola Falls, Cartecay and to Ellijay,
and from Atlanta to Ellijay.
This will make a com pie open¬
ing for the entire South and South¬
west to this beautiful section
through which we sincerely hope
to establish national recreational
grounds, camps forNutionalGtrards
and ex-service men, rifle ranges,
fishing grounds, bridle pates,
swimming pools, and camps for
tourists.
You are in position to be of
great help in this matte.
Sincerely yours,
Inch Thos. M. Bell.
Washington, D, C., June 19, 1621.
Hon. Thomas M. Bell,
House of Representatives
My dear Mr, Bell:
Jn commemoration of bur now
Famous expedition through the
National Eorests in the mountains
of northern Georgia, I am sending
to you herewith a map of the
Georgia portions of the Cherokee
and Nantaliala National Forests,
on which I have marked in colored
canyon the routes taken by the
party.
You will, I am sure, remember
with feelings of mingled pleasure
and other sentiments, that rainy
day when we spent 8 hours negoti¬
ating the 18 miles between High¬
lands, North Carolina and Dillard,
Georgia, and perhaps you will be
interested in knowing that the
Forest Service intends, this coming
fall, to spend $9,000 in bettering
that piece of road. The next time,
therefore, tnat you find it necessary
to travel over that route, I am in
hopes it will be possible for you to
do so with more speed and com¬
fort, also to get to Franklin in time
for pinner, which we did not do on
our last trip.
It will also interest you to know
that the prospects look good of be¬
ing able to do something definite
in the near future in the way of
getting a good road from Dahion¬
ega up over the Blue Ridge and
down into the Toccoa Basin, That
part of the Cherokee National
Forest, comprising something over
fo.QoQ acres, will then be accessi¬
ble to the people of Georgia for
recreational purposes. On getting
back to Washington, I immediate¬
ly checked up on what our unal
loted available funds for roads were
and found that we have approxi¬
mately $40,oog which can be de¬
voted to the recons*ruction, im¬
provement and betterment of the
Toccoa Basin road if the local
counties and State of Georgia are
willing to cooperate in the cost of
this cons* ruction. Since every¬
body ooceined, namely: the For¬
est ^erpjct people, the Bureau of
Pub)S& Roads’ people, the State
Highway people, Atlanta Consti¬
tution and local folks, are all keen
to s«« this road fixed up, I am op-
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
METHODIST CHURCH
NOTES
The Pastor had the great privi¬
lege of attending both the Mossy
Creek and Cleveland Children’s
D ly Exercises. They were above
the average at both places and the
buildings would not hold the crowd
attending. Another boost for bet¬
ter church buildings in White
county. We had a great day that
day not forgetting to mention a
real good congregation at Louds
ville in the afternoon.
There will be an ice cream sup¬
per at Mrs. Mikel’s at Robertstown
Saturday night proceeds to go the
parsonage.
Rev. William Greenway will
preach at Mossy Creek Sunday at
11 a. m; Yonah School House at
4 p. m. and Cleveland at 8 :30p.m.
Rev. T. J. Hanie will preach at
Cleveland on Sunday at 11 a. in.
The Third Quarterly Confer¬
ence for this charge was held at
Mossy Creek last Saturday. There
being a fine attendance, and, of
course it goes without saying, a
great dinner. They say Brother’s
W, L. Norton and Allan Jarrard
ate five green apple pies. 1 could
not vouch for the truth of this,
however. The charge met its
financial obligations in ffne shape,
paying all told $222.75.»' Cleve¬
land leading with $70. The Pre¬
siding Elder, Rev. W. T. Hamby,
preached one of his greatest ser¬
mons, and altogether it was a great
day. Rev. Bascomb Hughes, of
the Hall curcuit, was a visitor at
the conference.
Delegates, please do not forget
the District Conference at Jeffer¬
son next Monday.
Cranberry Corners Makes
Big Hit Here.
One of the best plays ever given
in Cleveland was presented at the
Cleveland High School auditorium
Saturday night, July 1st, by Mrs.
J. W. Marion.
Mrs. Marion’s skill and guidance
has been demostrated before, and
our people knew something good
was in waiting for them, and we
believe they were not disappointed.
Every player acted their part
fine and gave the attentive audi¬
ence a real high class comedy
drama.
It is expected they will take the
play to several towns, provided
they can get reasonable assurance
of a good attendance.
The comedy in this play can
hardly be equalled. In fact every
minuite of it is most interesting.
The costumes of the players were
indeed amusing.
You can get the very best of
sieak, roast, pork an$ all kinds of
meat at my place. Fresh fish
every Saturday. Come in and try
them and get something good,

timistic enough to believe that it is
going to be an accomplished fact
before any of us are very much old¬
er.
There is room for all kinds and
and numbers of campers and fisher¬
men on the National Forest lands
in the Toccoa Basin, all we need is
this road for them to travel over.
Very sir.cerely yours,
(Signed) T. W. Reed

Mexican Bean Beetle
The Mexican Bean Beetle was
introduced into the Birmingham
section three years ago and lias
spread until now it reaches from
Florida to Kentucky.
The pest is hard 10 control but
can be controlled by dusting the
vines with a mixture composed of
one part tri-calcium arcenate, one
part super fine dusting sulphur,
and four parts hydrated lime. This
formula is given out by Dr. W. E.
Hines, of Auburn, Ala., and Dr.
F. L. Thomas, of Birmingham,
Ain., who say that it doesn’t injury
the snap beans if they are proper¬
ly washed as is always done before
using them.
Dust the underside of the leaves
when the beetle appears and con¬
tinue at twelve to fifteen days in¬
tervals.

Never mind what this all wise
professor has to say, just keep them
where the press boys can see them
next summer, Bro. Daniels. Most
of them don’t need the attention of
an eye specialist either.
We have a bereau whose duty it
is to read each week the country
newspapers from all over the coun¬
try. There is not a paper of any
consequence in our trade territory
that our bureau does not get.
This bureau looks over these papers
and when we find a town where
the merchants are not advertising
in the local paper we immediately
flood that territory with our literaj
ture. It always brings results far
in excess of the same effort in terri-.
tory where the local merchants use
their local papers. —Herman
Rosenfield, Advertising Manager
