Ilarllee Branch, city editor The
Atlanta Journal, spent >.everal days
in White County lust week gather¬
ing information and tfie basis for
the story he will write of White
County.
Mr. Branch is a splendid Chris
tain genfleineri and a very inter¬
esting, capable and informed news¬
paper man and Cleveland and
White County were indeed glad to
have him here.
Mr. Branch has made a survey
of upward to a hundred counties in
order that Georgia might know
what she had and to carry the mes
sage to other states, and to enliven
the people of Georgia to have more
faith in Georgia.
Ilarllee Branch has done a con¬
structive work for Georgia. He
started at a time when it seemed
that Georgians had lost faith in
Georgia, but his work has counter¬
acted that spirit and has been a
most potent factor in showing
Georgians what they have and has
already generated a splendid degree
of wholesome optimism among
them.
The Journal is doing a most con¬
structive work by having this sur¬
vey so intelligently made.
The towns and counties of Geor¬
gia in order to travel along in an
orderly way must know itself.
Harllee Branch is telling them the
story and The Courier predicts
that his work will result in worth¬
while and needed improvements
and a better spirit among the
people.
The Journal had no ulterior
motive in inaugarating these sur¬
veys, but this great newspaper felt
a deep responsibility to be of bene¬
fit to the section it serves and they
could not have sent a better map
from their staff to do the work.
The senate and house have pick¬
ed their committees. White coun¬
ty’s representative, A. L. Dorsey,
is on some very important commit¬
tees.

coin? Get it at once.
Cleveland had a cleaning last
week, but there is still room for
improvement. The council are
men who believe in progressive
things and they will not stop un¬
til 0111 town is made to look good
and clean.
Capt. T. T. Orr, field organizer
and vice president of the Appala¬
chian Scenic highway, attended
t ie meeting of the Nacoochee
lliawassee Road & Recreation as
s iciation here last Friday.
Mr. Orr had charge of placing
the markers from Neel Gap to
Gainesville Thursday and Friday.
This office received last Friday
from two very energetic farmers of
White county the first cotton
blooms we have learned of in the
county. They are: iMr. W. B.
Parker, of Mossy Creek, and Mr.
B, L. McGItee, of Shoal Creek.
White county's cotton crop is
unusually good up to this time.
Corn crop is on an average.
The Couries is indeed thankful
lor the wonderful cooperative
spirit manifested and demonstrated
by the people of Cleveland and
Helen in assisting in raising the
money for the barbecue and taking
care of expenses incurred for the
annual meeting of the Nacoochee
Hiawassee Road & Recreation as¬
sociation at Cleveland Friday and
tbe wonderful meetiug at Helen
Friday night.

value.

same spirit continue and a brighter
hope will loom among us all.
W, T. Anderson has again ask¬
ed Governor Clifford Walker to
resign as a member of the State
Highway Board.
Mr. Anderson in a letter to
Governor Walker still thinks Mr.
Holder is “temperinentally unfit,'
but the people of Georgia think
differently.
Mr, Holder has announced some
necessary changes in the high
way department and if he is given
only half a chance he will put
them into effect,
