ASBESTOS BUZZING
The people have their crops clean
and were thankful for the rain this
week.
The medicine man was here the
other day, but what we most need
just now is meat and bread some
flour and coffee. Also some shoes,
for there are plenty rattle snakes.
The slogan was once : “Go West
youdg man and grow up with the
country.” A little tater it was:
“Go to South Georgia.” It now
is : “Go to Florida.” Every coun- j
try has its advantages and disad-i
vantages. A ship was on the
ocean and its crew was famishing
for water and they were signaling
to another ship for help and they
were told to let down their buckets
wheie they were for they were in
the fresh waters of the Amazon.
It sends the waters from the Andes
Mountains 200 miles into the ocean.
So let down your bucket here in
tile fresh waters.
The Spaniards settled in Mexico
and Florida, the English settled
along the Atlantic coast and the
French upon the St. Lawrence and
around the Great Lakes. After
awhile there grew up .a dispute
about territory in the valley of the
Ohio between tfie French and Eng¬
lish. Tnis brought about the war
between these countries. This war
cost money and England, on whose
land tlie sun never set, claimed that
as the war was waged for the good
of the American colonies they had
the right to tax them. This tax
brought on the American Revolu¬
tion. The thirteen colonies were
first fighting for their rights as
British subjects for they still had
some love for the mother country.
In Mecklengburg County, N. C.,
the people met and declared the
first declaration ot independence.
So this spirit began to spread like
fire in the stubble until they beard
Henry say in that memorable
speech : “Our chains are forged.
I do not know wlrit course others
5
may take but as for me give me
liberty or give me death.” So
soon af the delegates from the col¬
onies met at Philadelphia and
made the famous Declaration of
Independence. Walton, Hall and
Gwinnett signed for Georgia.
Next Saturday will be this
nation’s birth duy. It will then be
149 years of age. Rome stood for
500 years and long may this nation
stand.
Let us try to make it a sane
Fourth and cherish and hold in
deep gratitude the valor of our
forefathers who suffered for us.
Our little world was very small
at first. It was bounded on the l
North by fear,on the East by hope,
on the South by grandfather’s pig
pen and on the West by the Horse
Range mountain. Tesnattee Creek
was the principal river and father’s
house was the capital. This was
before they had geographies.
A negro preacher talking to his
congregation remarked: “When
dem chilun come to de Red Sea da
come a cold spell and froze de
water on both side nnd de chilun
went through dry shod, A youth
there spoke up and said that the
geographies taught that it was
near the equator and was hot.
Then the parson remarked : “Just
like some of you young smart
Alecks. But that was before da
had any geogrefers or quators.
Prof. J.W. West, dean of math¬
ematics of Oglethorpe University
Atlanta, was unanimously elected
president of North Georgia Agri¬
cultural College, of Dahlonega,
last Saturday at a call meeting
held in Gainesville. Members of
the 1926 faculty will be elected
soon.
