local items and some editorials, but
the thing that impressed us most
was the advertising patronage it
receives, A newspnper absolutely
must receive advertising in the

published to be what it should be.
As you will notice The Courier
is not patronized by business men
as it should be. We cannot live on
hot air and water. It takes money
to operute a newspaper.

counties adjoining White have
given their people work 011 the
highways.
A week or so ago, we are told by
responsible parties, that twenty
teams went to the man in
of the grade and construc¬
tion of the highway in White Coun¬
ty and asked for work, but lie

Only that part of the highway

has been let. Before it can be let
it must be advertised in the official

the bulletin board at the,court house,
We know the citizens of White

The largest portion of the popu¬

farmers realized that they
must make the country life more
so that their children
would not be lured by the attrac¬
of the cities and they voted
bonds. The Courier believes that
is a gross injustice to not give these
progressive citizens work.

Two literary societies were or¬
ganized at Cleveland High School
Monday. These societies are an as¬
sistance to a boy or girl. They are
called J. W. Marion and Pioneer.
Mr. R. B. Miller held an exami¬
nation for the boys of White Coun
ty last week on farming. The
purpose of this examination was
that the two making the highest
mark wonld be given a free trip to
the Southeastern Fair School.
Ray Richards and Felix Stovall
made the highest mark.
The petition by J. W. Freeman
and others for a change on rural
route No. 3 was turned down by
the Post Office Department.
Mr. W. C. Marion visited rela¬
tives in Middle Georgia last week.
The families of Messrs. R. T.
Kenimer and J. H. Telford visited
Mr. Telford’s mother in Mnysville
last Sunday.
Mr. Bryant W. Smith, of New
York N. Y., has purchased the
R. VV. Ash place near Dukes Creek
school house. Mr. Smith is an
artist an a very fine young man and
we tender him a most hearty wel¬
come to our county.
Mr. Grady Henley arrived in
Cleveland last Friday..
Messrs. Ray and Frasier Miller
and Sam Allison spent from Fri¬
day to Sunday with home folks.
Sam and Frasier seem to like schpjol
but Ray doesn’t remark that way.
Mrs. Alex Davidson spent Sun¬
day with Mr, and Mrs. G. L.
McAfee.
Col. Marvin Allison, of Decatur,
spent the weekend with home folks.
Mr. J. B. R. Barrett was very
sick for a day or two last week.
Mr. George Davidson spent Sun¬
day with home folks.
Rev. Win. Greenway and family
J left Monday for a few days visit in
Atlanta. Brother Greenway will
get his second naturulizatiod papers
while there.
Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Bell and son,
William, have been on a visit to
Middle Georgia going as far as
Bartlesville. Mr. Bell sold 288
bushels of apples while he was gone.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carroll
visited their son, Charles, at Dallas,
last Sunday.
! A new “Morning Star” was put
on for a test Tuesday, It is much
larger and decidedly more conven¬
ient. The International people are
putting on this test.
j Dr. J. E. Norton returned home
Sunday. He did not undergo an
operation. He is doing fairly well
now.
j Mr. Albert Hambill, of Chatta¬
nooga. Tenn,, whs killed by a live
wire last Saturday, Mr. Hambill
is a cousin to Mrs. Frank Carroll.
Mrs. L. G. Neal returned Mon¬
day from a visit of several days
with her sister in Blairsviile.
Dr. W. E. Evans gave The
Courier a sweet potato that is cer¬
tainly a curiosity. It has an iron
band around it. He didn’t put it
around the potato but it grew that
way.
The memoirs of Wilhelm Iiohen
zollcrn, former Raiser of Germany,
that are appearing in the different
daily papers and magazines shows
how ironically he used his power
tind how he tries to lay the blame
of treacherous act or deed on some
on* else.
When White County citizens
voted bonds to construct a highway
through While County in a norther¬
ly direction and $15,000 to improve
the other roads of the county, they
selected a man in each of the sever¬
al districts to advise with the coun¬
ty commissioners in making
changes and spending this $15,000
on the roads of White County.
Now, it doesn’t matter so very
much, but the people voted for it
to be done that way and we can
see no reason why their wishes and
desires should not be granted, or to
say the least, they should be given
a hearing.
Whose fault this is we find our¬
self unable to say, but we do know
somebody should make an expla¬
nation.
If the men who were elected to
advise with the commissioners
would not serve, then it looks to us
some one else should have been ap¬
pointed in their place.
We may be wrong in this matter,
but we don’t believe we are, if we
are, we ask forgiveness and then
give the people an itemized state¬
ment of the expenditures of the
$15,000 and also the other road
money. This will clear up things.
The people pay the taxes and no
man has a right to say they are not
entitled to know just where and
how much has been spent.
The people were progressive
enough to vote bonds for the con¬
struction of a higliwuy and the im¬
provement of the other roads and
we think this report should not be
withheld from them any longer.
Other counties of the State pub¬
lish a monthly report of receipts
and disbursements and find the
people are very eager to get this
report. Why shouldn’t White
County fall in line?
Rev. H. H. Jones, of Lawrence
ville, preacoed a very clean and
splendid sermon at tne Cleveland
High School auditorium. Rev.
Jones speaks just exactly what he
thtnks and lets the chips full where
they may. The attendance was ex
aelleet.
