White County Entertains
Georgia Editors Royally
Cleveland and Helen entertained
a few of the Georgia Editors
Thursday, July 19th with an auto
trip from Cornelia through White
county to Tallulah Falls and a din¬
ner.
At Cleveland a most sumptuous
dinner was served by Mrs, Anna
Kenimer given by the progressive
men of Cleveland. This was a
real dinner—enough left to feed
five times the number present who
greatly enjoyen this splendid din¬
ner.
The auto tour embraced “Reser¬
vation” to Helen, where Mr. A.
P. Perley conducted the party
through the big mill. The editors
that attended were greatly amazed
at the tremendousness of the lum¬
ber cut each day and the unique
way it was systematically handled.
Mr, Perley took special pains in
conducting the editors through the
mill and explaining to them its
various workings.
The party them proceeded to
Tallulah Falls, where they joined
tlie rest of the editors.
White county was very much
diiappointed at not more of the
editors taking the trip. Every
thing was planned in great style
for them. Anyway we are so
proud that the ones that did come
told the others what they missed
and that our people left no stone
unturned in makidg their tour
a most pleasant and happy one.
Ialant Passes Away
The little son, Lester Herbert
McAfee, of Mr. and Mrs. Lester
McAfee died at the home of his
grandparents, Mr, and Mrs, J. W.
McAfee, near Cleveland, Monday
afternoon about six o'clock after a
short illness from whooping-cough
and dysentery brought on by teeth¬
ing. He was only a little over
nine moths old and was particular¬
ly a quite and pleasant child, re¬
quiring but little attention from its
mother. Was it because he was
too good in his disposition for this
wor d that it was removed so soon?
The paths of earth grow weary
For many tired feet;
Then—Silence deep: We fall on Sleep,
And then Heaven’s Morning meet,
And God to bless the later day
With benediction sweet.
—Frank L. Stanton.
Everpthing possble was done
for him in his sickness but to no
avail, except that he was given all
the comfort and nursing possible
during his sickneis.
The sympathy of the whole com¬
munity went outfoa the bereaved
mother as she so devotedly attend¬
ed to the needs of her babe in the
borne of her husband’s parents for
the first time.
The remains were tenderly laid
to rest in Cleveland cemetery Tues¬
day afternoon after the arrival of
the father from Detroit, where he
had returned hut a few days before
Rev. Wm. Greenwae attending
the funeral services.

CHURCH NEWS
Life is uncertain. Death is
certain. Most everything in life is
uncertain, too. We ought to be
old enough to know this by why
we mean the writer of these notes,
hut we must confess that we begin
to feel pretty certain that the steps
at the church would be built this
week, but too the lumbers there,
the sand’s there, the rock’s there,
but the workmen refused to the
last moment to go to work. They
tell us to have patience that Rome
was not built in a day. But old
Rome ain’t got a thing on Cleve¬
land Methodist Church. We have
heard, however, that Mr. Frank
Jones is coming to our resciie.
Come on in, Bro. Jones, the water
is fine.
The Epvvorth League program
will be held Sunday night at the
usual time. That is if the church
is dry enough and the scaffolding
removed. If there is S. School
tliare will be League, and vice
versa.
Woman’s Missionary Society
and Prayer meeting had to be
called off this week on account of
painting the church.
We congratulate the ladies on
getting the church painted, or
started at any rate. We are cer¬
tain it will look a great deal better
wheu it is finished. ,
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Norton’s
entertainment of the young peo¬
ples S. School class was an un¬
qualified success.

NEGRO ASSAILANT OF 14
YEAR - OLD GIRL
APPREHENDED
Macon, Ga., July 15.—J i m
Lundy, a negro wanted in Monroe
county for an alleged criminal as
suIt on a 14-year-old white girl,
has been located in Cleveland, Ga.,,
largely through the efforts of Bibb
county deputy sheriffs.
Sheriff Carey Bittick, of Monroe
county, has gone to White county
for the negro, and he will be re¬
turned to this section of the state,
although he probably will not be
taken to Forsyth.
The alleged asstilt took place
sour weeks ago. A posse im¬
mediately formed to search for the
negro, who made his escape.
Through relatives and a tailoring
shop m Macon, where the negro
iuid placed an order for a suit of
clothes, it was learned that he had
fled to north Georgia. He was
finally traced to Cleveland, Ga.,
and his arrest was effected.—At
lanta Constitution.
Jim Lundy came herewith other
negroes from Atlanta and has been
at work on the highway with Mr.
Armisteadon the grade north of
Cleveland. The Monroe county
sheriff arrived in Cleveland where
the prisoner was delivered to him
and the deputies accompanying
him.
One of the most enjoyable oc¬
casions of the season was the coun¬
ty meeting of the Farmers’ Edu¬
cational and Co-operative Union
of America, with the Roberts
town Local, on Saturday, July 21.
The attendance was usually good
and a great deal of interest was
manifested at the meeting. The
forenoon session was devoted
receiving reports from the various
locals from Over the county, and
also to speaking and discussion of
questions of importance to the
Union.
The meeting was opened with
that splendid old hymn “Nearer
my God to Thee” with music
furnished by Miss Mary Curtis,
after which Bro. G. M. Vandiver
rendered devotional exercises, after
which the meeting was turned over
to Bro. B. J. Wooten, State
Organizer, who dispatched the
business in a very able manner. We
had some very interesting talks
by the representatives of the vari¬
ous locals, after which we had a
splendid short talk from Mr, Jos.
Stover, of Shoal Creek district,
then came a speech from Bro. B. J.
Wooten that was a good one and
was enjoyed by ail present.
After Bro. Wooten’s speech the
good men and women of “Old
Chattahoochee spread one of the
finest and best tables that hands
could prepare. We had pork,
beef, mntton, pies, cakes and
everything good to eat. Bro. S.
R. Vandiver would have furnish¬
ed us with squirrel, if he had got¬
ten tip early that morning. We
sure had the dinner you have been
hearing about.
The afternoon session was an
executive session and was very
interesting and beneficial. Several
timely resolutions were passed
relative to asking our Senator and
Representative to push certain
measures that are to the interest of
the fanners of the county. This
meeting would have shown you
if you had been present that the
Farmers’ Union is here to stay,
and is destined to do its good work
Our next county meeting will be
held with Tesnatee Local on the
third Saturday in Oct., next. Come
out and help us to do good.

Veteran Seeking Job Told To
Get G. 0. P. Endorsement.
How Republican Congressmen
are attempting to make political
pawns of sick and wounded veter
ons of the World War is revealed
by A. J. Cobbs, a former soldier,
who applied to Senator Pepper for
help in obtaining employment and
was told to furnish Republican
endorsements, Cobbs served in a
Pennsylvania regiment during the
war.
“Unable to obtain employment
and my money exhausted 1 walked
the streets of Washington hungry”
Cobbs relates. “Accordingly I
wrote to Senator Pepper apprising
him of my condition and expressed
the hope that he would aid me to
procure some kind of employment”
Here is a copy of a letter Cobbs
says he received bearing the name
of Senator Pepper’s secretary,
Charles P. Swope :
“Before effective consideration
can be given to this matter (of
Cobbs’ request for help in getting
work) it will be necessary for you
to file .with Senator Pepper the
endorsement of the political leaders
in your community.”
Cobbs subsequently made appli¬
cation for admission to a veterans
hospital in Washington to undergo
treatment.

So far Georgia has made no at¬
tempts to expoit its natural scenic
beauty. Other states are making
millions out of the beauty—or sup¬
posed beauty—of their landscapes.
Tourist travel is a recognized* in¬
dustry in Colorado, where in 1922
visitors spent $42,000,000 accord¬
ing to a canvass made by the Den¬
ver Tourist Bureau. It’s the only
known business wherein the pur
clmserjliterally uses the scenic goods
then pnts it back, satisfied.
Denver has u system of ninteen
mountain park areas aggregating
5.01H acres in the Colorado Rockies
thru consent of the state legislature
These areas, connected by toomiles
of scenic drives, begin fifteen miles
west of the city limits. In 1922
they were visited by 750,000 tour¬
ists.
North Georgia is just as wonder¬
ful scenery as any country in
Ameoica. It possesses many at¬
tractions not found elsewhere.
There are many thousands of acres
of wild mountain region which
would attract the tired summer
tourists if we only had the roads
over which one could travel and
find any kind of living accomo¬
dations.
It is a shame that a state so rich
in natural beauty is not able to ut¬
ilize it in any wav.—Di Kill) New
