He* Development
For White County
Congressman Thos. M. Bell is
the sponsor of a new development
in White county, near Cleveland,
of what will be called the Cherokee
Colony.
This new development is to con¬
sist in the making of the organiza¬
tion of an exculsive club of fifty
members, maintenance of a club
house, construction of homes, cab¬
ins or tents for the members, de¬
velopment of eletricity for lighting
and stocking the proposed lake
with fish. Two hundred hojse
power can be developed with con¬
sequent creation of the lake.
This property is now owned by
Mr. O. C. Bell on the Atlanta
Asheville Highway, and the site of
of the colony is ideally situated for
business men who have only a
short time for recreation. The
state highway department will
soon begin the construction of a
bridge 12o feet long and 149 feet
high over the goige in this proper¬
ly
The eight-room house Mr. O. C.
Bell now lives in will be converted
into a club house. The saw mill
and planning mill makes it handy
for the construction of homes for
the colony.
Plans call for swimming pools,
team is courts, u rifle range and a
golf course.
An atlempt will Se made to have
the colony ready for members by
this fall, although improvmeiUs
will continue for a number of
months until all the plans have
been carried out.
Members will be admitted for
the sum of $1,000, one-third to be
paid in cash and the remainder as
the directors may instruct.

WHITE COUNTY'S AGRICULTURAL
‘ OUTLOOK FOR 1923
Mr. W. J. Allen, of Blue Ridge
District, gives the precentage of
crops in his section
Corn crop 75
Small grain 5 o
Cotton crop 60
Syrup cane 60
Irish potatoes 100
Tobacco loo
Beans 00
Cleveland, Ga., Aug. 20, 1923.
Mr. Jas. P. Davidson,
Editor Cleveland Courier,
Cleveland, Ga.
Dear Sir :
In reply to your letter of Aug
1 Sth in regard to the crops in my
community, while our community
is small crops are reasonably good.
Corn crops are especially good
and better than they have been for
years and will make an average of
20 bu. per acre. This average is
good taking the land into con¬
sideration.
There is no small grain raised in
this section, but the farmers are
planning to sow next year.
Garden stuff is reasonably good
Most everybody had beans in spite
of the bean bettle.
Cane crops are only fair, while
everyone will have enough for
their own use and some to sell.
Most everyone has peas, soy
beans, velvet beans, mung beans
and forage sowed.
Only a small amuunt of cotton is
planted in this section, but what is
here is growing well and I think
will open reasonably well, being
between Yonah and Sul Mts.
The apple crop is short. There if
5 orchards in this community and
the trees are looking good and are
in a thriving condition.
White County in the future will
be one of the leading apple coun¬
ties as there are 25 orchards now
in the county.
1 would be glad if everyone who
has an orchard would take the
American Fruit GroMer so as to
keep familiar with the different
diseases,
I feel that this move of yours
will be a help to the farmers of
the county and you are to be con¬
gratulated in your undertaking.
Yours truly,
W. II. Bell.
White county is one of the agri¬
cultural counties. The principal
crop is corn. In Nacoochee and
vicinity this crop is quite promis¬
ing, though much of it is late, we
expect an average yield.
The small grain was not up to
the usual average on aocount of
the excessive rains in May and
June, though fall season oats were
good.
The Irish potatoes are good and
so are sweet potatoes.
An encouraging feature of this
year’s farming is that more peas
are being raised than ever before.
If this crop should be utilized, as
it should be, it would be worth as
much to us as clover is to Kentucky
When we raise more peas and
hairy vetch we will improve the
land and make better crops than
we do now.
I took a trip to Highlands, S. C.
last week and was very much im¬
pressed with the wonderful strides
made iu Rabun and the Tennessee
Valley. I never saw better corn
and hay. Owing to th# work of
the county agent three car loads of
grass seed were used in one year.
I was also amazed at the many and
large cabbage patches.
The watchword for all farmers
should be diversify and intensify.
Raise hairy vetch and more peas
and increased prosperity will surely
be the result.

CIRCUIT NOTES
The Camp meeting at Mossy
Creek has once mote come to a
C|ose. we believe that it is the close
of its 91st year, nearly a century.
The spiritual tone, we believe
was higher, and the average at
tendance at the meeting certainly
better than last year and some say
for the last ten years.
The preaching was done by
K vs. R. M. Dixon, Ileisler, Alli¬
son, Hughes and Cash and was
really good. We wish not to make
comparisons, but we would like to
especially mention the sermon of
our own White county boy, Her¬
man Allison. It was great and
we hope he will be a bishop some
day.
The Loudsville Camp meeting
will commence *011 Wed. night,
Aug. 29th, and the P. E. tells us
that there will be an array of good
preachers amongst whom will be
the Rev. W. F. King, pastor of 1st
church Gainesville.
The protracted meeting will
convence at Mossy Creek Sunday
night Sept. 2nd, at 8 F. M. and on
Menday Sept. 3rd, the preacher,
Rev. L. B. Linn will be there.
The protracted meeting at
Nacoochee will begin Sunday
night Sept, qrh at 8 F. M. Rev.
Marvin Franklin, of Lawrenceville
Ga., will be the preacher.
CLEVELAND METHODIST

Time Hies or as the scholars say
“Tempos Fugits” and it will soon
be time for our protracted
iii Cleveland. Time : 3rd Sunday
night, Sun. Sept. 16, at 8 I’. M;
Preacher, Rev. Henry Hart Jones,
pastor of our church at Jackson,
Ga. Campmeetings, all day
ings and so on will be over by
then, so let’s try and have our S.
S. and League in good shape by
then, so that we will have the
whole church at work in the meet¬
ing.
What’s the matter with the W.
M. Society? Ladies, are you going
to let it die on account of a little
wet weather, or because the beli
does not ring? There are folks who
would like to see it die an untime¬
ly death but let’s disapoint them
by keeping it alive.
We would like to see every mem¬
ber of the Epworth League present
next Sunday night. There may be
a change or two in its official ranks
and we would like to see another
council meeting and maybe a
social or two. The God of doubt¬
ful pleasure’s is most tempting and
alluring at this time of year and if
the cl.tnch wont entertain its
young folks he will.
Don’t forget preaching at Cleve¬
land next Sunday morning at 11 ;
night at 8 P. M. Sunday School
and League at the usual hour. Lets
make next Sunday a great day for
Cleveland Methoodistism.
We are glad the Prayer meetings
are still going and are very proud
of the folks who have been so
faitnful.

Detroit, Midi., July 30.—Henry
Ford, maker of automobiles and

Twenty yeass ago, oil his fortieth

salary of $125 a month, Ford was
spending his nights and holidays
working on bis “horseless car¬
riage.”
Thus he established the found., -
tion of his success in becoming the
world’s richest man with a person¬
al fortune of #750,000,000 arid
head of the world’s largest uuto
mobile industry capitalized at
#100,000,000.
