THE CLEVELAND COURIER
yOL. XXVII, No. 84, l
Hon, Jas. A. Hoilomon Writes
Of Georgia Mountains
We are reproducing below ex¬
tracts from an article in the Atlan¬
ta Constitution June 8 from the
gifted pen of James A. Hoilomon
which is of particular interest to
The Courier readers.
••Hot weather is a good time to
think about the great outdoors—the
Georgia mountains especially.
I hope you—1 am talking to the
reader direct—will read the edito¬
rial on this page tb«t bears very
directly on the subject.
This state has an asset in its
national forests, and in all of its
great mountain county, that is in
calcuable.
We ought to appreciate it. We
do!
Thousands of people are going to
the Georgia mountains for vacations
or recreation and health this Sum¬
mer who did not realize two or
tiiree years ago that we had moun¬
tains in this state.
Last Summer broke alt records.
Fact is. more people have flocked
to the Georgia mountains, in all
sections, since The Constitution
government tour put them on the
map in 1922 than had gone there
ii\ the ten years preceeding all told.
And they are building roads in
the mountains.”
The vvsy to get people to come
into a section where they know
nothing of is to tell them that they
can travel over good roads. Mr.
Hoilomon fully emphasized this in
the extract below.
“In northeast Georgia most sat¬
isfactory prog.-era is being made.
The Atlanta-Asheville highway,
crossing the Blue Ridge at Neel's
Gap, and extending as a solid
water-bound macadam streamer
from Cleveland, in White County,
to the North Carolina line just
north ol Blairsville, in Union
County, is one of the mo6t beauti¬
ful scenic highways in America.
It will he officially opened on the
Fourth of July, and thousands of
people from Georgia and North
Carolina will pilgrimage to the gap
to participate in the celebration.
Barbecue will b e prepared for 15,
ppp, and !)ie Georgia legislators
will be special guests of the ho6l
counties.
There lias recently been graded
a j_ood road across the mountains
from Helen to Hiuwassee, in
Towns County, over Unicoi Gap.
This road must be made a state
federal aid project and widened
and paved and carried to the North
Carolina line where it will link
with u main interstate paved high
*. w^y at Hayesville.
no more beautiful valley
in tester ft America than the Hia
wassee valley, nor a more beautiful
mountain country, or a finer people
populating it;”%

Davis, colored, of Gainesville,

Company's steel camp, spot J.

ford, Jr., son of Tom Ledford, the

Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Chairman Calls Meeting o! Citizens
A meeting of tlie citizens of
Cleveland was called by Mr. H. A.
Jarrard, county chairman of White
County, last Friday afternoon to
raise money, make arrangements,
and devise plans for the mnmouth
barbecue to be given near Neel
Gap July 4. A good attendance
was present and plans were dis¬
cussed for the entertainment of our
guests, raising money for the bar¬
becue and other matters of impor¬
tance.
The barbecue near Neel Gap is
to be financed by several mountain
counties embracing the work being
fostered by the Nacoochee-Ilia
wassee Road & Recreation Associ¬
ation, so as to bring the people
from other sections to see our coun¬
try. nnd also to unite the people of
these mountain counties into closer
union.
This is a big undertaking—so
big is its scope that no other section
ever attempted such a plan—
with suah emthusiasm as is
by the various counties
it certain to be a real success.
The barbecue is following the
meeting of the Nucoochee
Roud & Recreation As¬
at Cleveland July 3rd,
where Governor Walker, Governor
North Carolina and big officials
Washington will be present to
the gathering, and it is
fitting to have the barbecue
put over by the several countiei,
which will demonstrate the splen¬
did co-operation of our mountain
people to these officials.
Committees have been appointed
each district to take money for
this barbecue. It is hoped interest
will be so great that wheti the so¬
approaches each citizen they
respond.
The committees for the various
are:
C. W. White, Helen; Jr. J. K.
and S. B. Logan, Sautee ; T.

ASBESTOS BUZZING
Messrs. James and Clifton
Davidson and A, L. Dorsey were
passing through on tlseir way to
Burton last Friday. They may
have caught a draught or maybe
three or two, or probably one may¬
be not as many as that.
Mr. Eugene Elliott, who is now
employed by the S. A. L. R. R.
Co., spent last week-with his par¬
ents, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Elliott.
Little Ray Robinson who has
been sick for several days is now

The floods may bear us far but
we wisli to return and see old fa¬
miliar haunts when fond recollec¬
tion presents them again. The
roads have been changed; the
cedar, poplar, walnut, china trees
and the cluster of vines are gone.
We long and sigh for the days
gone by as we swung in the grape¬
vine swing. The fence where
urgus-eyed cuff ran the big ones
over and the little ones through the
cracks, have long disappeared.
The old house, the spring with the
holiy tree near, and only one of the
a pp| e trees are still there
land • of other days.

Mr. Smith has ordered neighbor
Jones to keep up his bees as they
were gathering nectar from his
rose garden. He kept them in for
several days and they soon began
to say : “Give us liberty or give us
death.” So lie told his children to
tie them with small threads and
graze them down by the nook.
There were plenty of wild straw¬
berries on tlie other side and so
tLeir wandering feet carried them
there and they forgot the bees.
They became tangled and lie now
has a prize to offer. lie will give
2 plugs of Brown’s Mule tobacco
to the one who can untie them
without getting stung.
Dewberries have begun to ripen
and they will help some. A few
years ago people were afraid to eat
berries for fear of appendicitis.
We never heard of them hurting
anyone until Gov. W. V. Atkinson
was operated upon several years
ago. They use to tell us not to eat
them for they would get in the ap¬
pendix and make a large vine. But
times have changed.
Messrs. Harper and Galloway of
Cornelia have brought the laage
steam engine at the White County
gold mine. It has been idle for
the past 25 years but will be put to
use at Cornelia running a planer
and grist mill.

The man who pusses up the bank when he has money
will stop and linger longingly in front of the bank when
he hasn't money. He will wish then that when his wad
of wealth caused his poekets to bulge he had stopped at
the bank and opened an account instead of hurrying on
to spend it—perhaps unnecessarily.
Call and let us show you in figures how a small sum ygjjj
deposited in this bank, and increased regularly with
what you can conveniently save, will grow from year to
