At Lake Burton
CLARKSXIjyLE. Ga., Sept
Mr. Reid Asbury, suffered what
believed to have been a heart
tack, and died while in swimming
at Lake Burton, near here,
afternoon.
The water was only about 4
deep at the spot where Mr. Asbury
became ill. He was taken from
the water at once, but .efforts to
resusscitate him failed. ■' '
METHODIST CHURCH
NOTES
The meeting at Nacoochee re¬
sulted in seven additions to the
church all on profession of faith.
Rev. H. H. Jones did some great
preaching. We were royally, enter¬
tained by the people in the Valley
and it was certainly appreciated.
The deatli of Bro. Will Crumley
was a sad blow to his . church as
wall as his home but we know that
he has gone to join the Church
triumphant.
The Pastor will begin a meeting
at Helen on Sunday night next
Oc«., ist, closing on Friday night.
Seven weeks exactly until the
anuuat conference. Mightly little
time brethren to close up the yeai
in good sliupe. The Pastor would
like to make as good report as
possible this year.
Indications are that we will have
our new church ready just in time
for the new Pastor to preach in it.

Pay The Printer.
A printers devil was going
through his first experience in
“making up forms” says an ex¬
change. The paper was late and
the boy got thegaileys mixed. The
first part of the obituary notice of a
pencunious citizen had been dump¬
ed in the forms and the next hand¬
ful of type came off a galley de¬
scribing a recent fire. It read like
this.
“The pall-bearers lowered the
body to the grave and as it was
consigned to the flames there were
few if any regrets, for the old
wreck had been an eyesore to the
town for years, of course there
was individual loss, but that was
fully covered by insurance.”
The widow thinks the editor
wrote the obituary that way, be¬
cause the lamented partner of her
joys and sorrows owed him for a
five-years’ subscription.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The fear of the Lord is the be
gining of wisdom ; but fools de¬
spise wisdom and iustrudtion.—
Proverbs 117.
The Womanless Wedding
At Cleveland High
The Methodist Sunday School
will present “The Womanless
Wedding” in the Cleveland High
School auditorium Friday, Oct., 6.
Thir play wili have some of the
iSunday School’s most prominent
characters participating.
The many witty sayings and
unique formality will in itself be
equally worth the price of admis¬
sion.
The proceeds will be used to buy
carpets and sucli other material as
will add to the beauty of the
Ciiurch.
This is a splendid and progres¬
sive step and it should well attend¬
ed by the people of the community.
Dr. Hamby Appeals To
People To Pay lip
The last week in September is
fixed for a “clean up” effort on first
year payments on subscriptions to
the Christian Education Movement
to climax on “clean up Sunday,”
Oct,, 1, with educational sermon by
pastor.
It is of the utmost importance
that we get every cent possible paid
on these subscriptions at as early a
date as we can.
Our Educational Institutions are
in sore need of funds and unless
they are helped immediately the
church at large will suffer seriously.
If we can collect on the small
a mo uHts, life larger’ vy^-will affiOuntst fyaye little trouble
wun
May I not urge you with all
earnestness to rally to this call?
Let a personal canvass, through
committees or otherwise, be made.
We will thus meet the present
emergency and clear the way for
payment of pledges in the future.
Fraternally yours,
W. T. Hamby.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our dear
friends and neighbors for their
deeds of kindness during the sick¬
ness and death of our little darling
Grady. May God’s richest bless¬
ings abide with you all.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clayton.
BE A BOOSTER
Be a booster—like a rooster—
always crowing long and loud;
keep yelling what what you are
selling—put some pepper in your
song. If you are tired go get fired
-hunt a job you think will suit
you. Be a getter—times are better
for a man who picks a smile; take
your licking or quit kicking—dig
right in and make your pile. The
war is over and there’s clover in
the pasture all around; it’s not
waiting or debating but make hay
out of the ground. Watch it
growing—always showing lots of
of blossoms—it’s alive. If you are
a dead one go use a lead gun—
drones ain’t wanted in this hive.
Be a doing—quit your stewing—
(get a move on, grab some kale;
dont let your head get feeling dead
yet—sweat and smile and you can’t
fail.—Jack L. Patterson in Atlanta
Journal.
‘I wish I were a little rock,
A-sitting on a hill,
Doing nothing all day long,
But just a-sitting still.
I wouldn’t eat; I wouldn’t sleep,
I wouldn’t even wash,
But sit and sit a thousand years,
And rest myself, by gosh.
CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 29 , 1922
Senator Thos. E. Watson
Dies of Acnte Asthma.
The sudden death of Senator
Thos. E. Watson which occurred
last Tuesday morning was a great
shock. The Juior Senator had
been in fairly good health since he
has been in Washington. He
weighed more than he ever weigh¬
ed in his life.
He took sick after supper Mon¬
day night and grew worse with
acute asthma, which took him to
another land.
All of the Georgia delegation in
Washington, which iucluded Con¬
gressman Bell, accompanied his
earthly remains to his home,
Thomson.
Senator Watson was a great and
forceful speaker. He secured most
of his wonderful store of knowledge
by reading all of the books he could
lay Lis hands on.
Governor Hardwick will appoint
a successor until the general elec¬
tion which i to be held in Novem¬
ber, at which election a Senatqr
will be elected by the people of
Georgia to fill the vacancy of Sen¬
ator Wutson.
The Senator was sixty-six years
of age.
Edvards Bets Date For
Country Schools To Open
The Board of Education at a
meeting held in the County Super
intendant’s office on the 22nd, day
of Sept., 1922, named the ist, 2nd,
3fB, or 4th, Mondays In October ^
the dates when the schools of the
county are to commence the 1923
term and running six months with¬
out interruption, except for Christ¬
inas Holidays and for providential
reasons.
The reason for naming the dif¬
ferent Mondays in Oct., was to
accommodate the different com¬
munities in the county. Some
might/want to commence early in
Oct., while others might want to
wait till later in the month. As to
which Monday in Oct., the schools
in the different district are to com¬
mence is left to the patrons, trustees
and the teachers of the schools.
All schools must commence not
earlier than the ist, Monday and
not later than the 4th, Monday in
Oct., and continue six months as
stated above. The above does not
apply to local schools districts or
long term schools. These make
their own regulations.
Respt.

Are You The Wise Main?
If you are a wise man two years
ago you saved some money. Have
you got that money now? The
time to make investiments is when
everything is cheap. They are just
as cheap now as they will ever be.
We have a few tracts of real es¬
tate that we are offering at attrac¬
tive prices. See us.

To whom it may or may not
concern, we lust say that it is our
candid opinion that the very best
time for any man to start his cam¬
paign for congress in the Nintli
district is at 9 130 o’clock the day
after Tom Bell dies. And in the

time will be at ten o’clock, ttand
