The article below iy from the
led of James -i
git pen A.-’l Billomiqi,
assoceflv editor of Tin Ainu.I i
Constitution, which appeared in
The Conslltu!ion several clays ago,
whicti is of particular benefit and
interest to this section :
“A private letter from Repre¬
sentative Gordon Lee, who is a
member of the United States for¬
estry commission, conveys the in¬
formation that the commission Inis
just concluded the purchase of
39,624 additional acres to the Geor¬
gia national forests, for total con¬
siderations amounting to $152-
405.80.
The added acreages are in Union
Fannin, White and Lumpkin coun¬
ties
These purchases involve some of
the important point® in the moun¬
tains of north Georgia, including
Great Bald, Little Bald and Grassy
mountain.
The commission also, while it
lias not made any purchases, made
recommendation of a purchase aera
which ill include the headwaters of
tiie Conasauga, Etowah and Coosa
rivers.
The purchases ju >t made include
the headwaters of the Chattahoo¬
chee.
This runs the total acreage in the
Georgia national forests to more
than 200,000 with large additional
acreages to be acquired.
With such progress on the part
of the government in rounding ont
its Georgia forests, and with [ Ians
for developing recreational features
that surpass even those of the
national parks,this state will short¬
ly have in the mountains a govern¬
ment park that will attract hun¬
dreds of thousands of visitors each
season.
•The federal forestry service is
cooperating with the state high¬
way dep:vtment most acceptably in
the building of roads, and in pre¬
paring the Toccoa basin, which
will become one of the outstanding
scenic areas in eastern America.
In the meantime congress has
authorized surveys of several
national park sites, including the
proposed Smoky mountain site in j
Tennessee and North Carolina.
After ail Georgia will beat them
to it!
LEV ELAND, GEORGIA, MARCH. IB, 1925 .
ASBESTOS BUZZING
Mr. Jim Turner, who has just
returned from Akron, Ohio, spent,
last Saturday niglvt with Mrt Buck
Dyer.
Several from here attended the
Quarterly. Conference at Cleveland
Sunday and heard an impressive
sermon.
Mr. Editor that radio party will
be just tine. We believe' it will
make a hit. What a boon this new
invention is to the shut-in, to the
tired housewife or to the weary
business man. Was it prophetic
foresight that led the poet to say :
••'The night shall be filled with
music.”
And the cares that infest the day
shall fold their tents like the Arabs
and as silently, steal away.
Some here will soon celebrate
their golden wedding. It will be
quite interesting to hear them tell
of the firing line of life’s battle for
these many years.
During the inauguration of Cal¬
vin Coolidge at Washington I), C.,
there was falling the first snow
of the season here. They brought
in the the wood, wood, put put up up the the cattle,
made the. little pigs a bed and fixed
for a big snow. It looked like it
would be a suitable time to
Whittier’s Snow Bound and the
account of the sufferings of
men at Valley Forge. But lhe
next day the sun shone .out nmi the
flakes soon disappeared and the
grasshoppers, the cooing dove am*,
the Spring birds were on the wing
again. ;
The people are phimibg then
gardens again. The talk is now
getting Inn k to the soil. The 'res¬
urrection of all nature will soon
take place Then why should we
have that tired Spring feeling. It
should give, us a thrill for the vio¬
lets and the trailing arbutus will
bloom soon.
If the Pope of Rome makes a
visit to (lie U. S. A. he will prob¬
ably pass tin (nigh here. But if he
does we will not run over anybody
to get tosh -in: hi- hand, lie is
just a man hke fhe rest of us mor¬
tals and a bachelor too.
The Sons i Rest have suspend¬
ed for the plowing season. Now
there will be : >me real work done
and business will begin to pick up
again.
A citizen of Huckleberry Ridge
found a pocket book belonging to
a woman. When (lie contents
were counted there were 73 cents.
Gosh, that was the most money we
ever knew a woman to have on
hand at one time.
After the income tax agony is
ended one won’t have to lose time
hunting for something else to
worry about.
President Coolidge is to he con¬
gratulated for that splendid speech
Too, that statement that the best
way ‘‘to serve our own country is
to be {openly, candidly intensely
and scrupulously American,’’should
be well received in this great na¬
tion. The last sentence of that
splendid. candid and forceful
speech is well worthy of your sober
consideration : “America Cherish¬
es no pnrposes save to merit the
favor of Almighty God.”

The Reason Why*
The reason for the immense popularity
of Charlie’s store is not hard to find.
Charlie always carries a fresh stock,
has the best that money can buy and
meets his patronage with a pleasing
smile and a word of good cheer.
Fastidious people, too, are attracted by
the cleanliness and sanitary condition
of Charlie’s place.
Come to a country store for wholesale
prices. If you doubt this come and see.
Keep Charlie in mind.
