Dear Sir: I read in the Atlanta Georgian of Sept., 19 a very interesting arti¬ cle written by Mr, Browulow Sams lhat should arouse the people of Georgia what they are missing by not setting out apple orchards, es¬ pecially the people of North Geogia and White County. Mr. Sams states in his article that the fruit stands of Atlanta are filled at this season of the year with apples grown in Oregon and Washington but should be filled with Georgia apples. I agree with him that the peopie of Georgia should furnish ail local markets at all seasous of the year, and that White County should furnish her portion of them. It is interesting to know that we could ship apples from Cleveland to Atlanta and have them on sale the same afternoon of the day they were shipped. Most people think it too big a proposition to set out apple orchards. They say it is too long to wait for returns. This is a mistaken idea. Five years is not long for a tree-for a tree at this age should pay its way, and up to that time the orchard can be cultivated in profitable crops, such as potatoes, peas and beans. There is always something of interest in an orchard. When you set out the tree you soon look for the leaves, later the bloom, and then the apple. Think about forty apple trees to the acre bearing 3 bushels per tree at $1. per bushel. Then think of an acre by the side of your apple trees planted in corn making 35 bushels per ucre at $1. per bushel; then on a third acre planted in cotton making about one-third bale per acre at .25/ per pound. Which one of these acres would you choose for the future ? Respectfully, W. H. Bell. SCHOOL NEWS The school is progressing fine at present. Up to date we have 332 enrolled. Don’t forget the “Carnival” Fri¬ day night. Mr. Faith Adair, of Gainesville, will start teaching music soon. Rev. [ones talked to the pupils again last Friday morning and we regret that he could not be with us more. One of Vas Hefner's girls went home Tuesday with symptoms of tbyphoid fever. It you should have a mad dog scare, do oot kilt the dog if tt can be cap¬ tured and put In confinement. This U the sate way, the bedt way. It the dog is mad it will die ot rabies within a week, then all who were bitten or scratched should immediately take the treatment; it is time enough. Ot course if the suspected animal is kill¬ ed or cannot be safely taken and kept in captivity, then the brain should be sent to the State Board of Health. Do not beat the head up or shoot it through the head, but preserve the head as best you can that tt may be packed In ice and reach the Labora¬ tory in good condition. The span ot human life has been considerably lengthened within the peat tew years. It can be greatly lengthened if the people will only give heed to the advice of the phy¬ sician and the 8tate Board ot Health. Bvery county should have a commie •toper of health whose duty It would he to see that the people remained Ft ! 1 _______ 0ood sound advice of the physician end the health officer is so often aered by our peopie.

He was candidate for Congress from the Ninth District at the last election, against Tom Bell. He will be buried at Murtin, Ga.. Sunday i County Commissioners ol Floyd Indicted The Floyd County grand jury, according to a news report from Rom*, under date of Sept., 11 to the Atlanta Georgian, have indict¬ ed two county commissioners of Floyd County charging malfea¬ sance. “The indictments grew out of an alleged misappropriation of public funds wherein the two commission¬ ers are said to have collected per diem not due them, to have made exhorbitant charges for the use of their automobiles, to have used gasoline from the county’s tanks and to have in other wnys obtained money or commodities not due them.” The presentments are said to be the most lengthy and exhaustive ever returned by a grand jury in Floyd County, which included an audit of the counties finances. Tewnatee Valley Newt* Rev. Stele Miller will preach at Tesnatee the fifth Sunday in Sept. We attended meeting at Tesna¬ tee last Suturday and they called Rev. J. G. Young, pastor, for the coming year. Most of the people of this section are almost done pulling fodder. Pea picking and syrup making will soon be the order of the day. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Reece gave the young folks a singing lust Fri¬ day night which was enjoyed by all present. Mr. J. E. Wheeler has been very sick for the past few days. Best wishes to The Courier and all its readers. Homer, Route 1 Pulling fodder and picking cotton is the order of the day in tin’s section now-a-days and the farmers are getting in earnest about their work. The Revenue Officers are kept busy in this section the past few days. Mr. John W. English is now making his home with his son, Mr. Noah English. Many years ago English bought the farm now own¬ ed by Mr, John C. Wood. The place was all grown up in bush, a* an Englishman would say. Mr. English paid $1.50 an acre for it. He cleared tnudh of the land and sold it to Mr. Wood about 17 years ago and moved to Texas, where he bought a place and has since re¬ sided. His children have all mar¬ ried and left, so he came back here to make it his home. Mr. Flech Thurmond has install¬ ed a corn mill at his lower store, which was tlieS. S. Chambers’ old stand, and is making some first class meal. A large crowd of people ed the Banks County Singing vention and report some good iog. CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEPT. 2l, 1921 ?. ASBESTOS BUZZING Mrs. Mattie Westmoreland and daughter, Bonnie visited Mrs. Jess Westmoreland who is at Doivney Hospital, Sunday. She was very ill following and operation but is now improving. Several attended the meeting at Cleveland last week. We should not go “hog wild” over roads and autos for the educa¬ tion of the children and the pre¬ serving of the morals are far more important. Ancient Rome had great roads but they failed to main¬ tain a standard of morals. They have made two surveys here. One goes out over Crawfish Hill thence up Pipe Clay branch thence up over Buzzaid Kuob close to the Miller Orchard. Nobody lives on this route nor expects too. The other way follows one of the main streets of the village on which 3 families have always lived and hope to die there. We understand they are going to follow the old road. Mr. John White is grade work from the West field to Helen on the highway. .. OAKES CHAPEL NEWS After being absent for some time here we are again.
