Facts on Highway

Mr. Jas. P. Davidson
Cleveland, Ga.
Dear Jim :
Your letter to hand in tegard to
the highway between Andrews and
Bryson City. Will say that it is
not closed. We have heard that
same thing here, but we have been
able to get all the tourists straight
to Bryson C'ty after a little delay,
caused by the machinery being in
such a position that it could not be
moved just at that time. Of course
you know how road work is.
They can’t stop every minute to
let someone go by. Some times
the delay is as much as an hour.
They have been mighty nice about
turning them by.
We also have another good road
now to Franklin, N. C- It is just
about finisned. I am sending some
of the travel that way, und so far
the people that have gone that way
like it fine. I have had letters
from some of them after they
arrived back home. Lt is about the
same distance to Bryson City.
I’ll get the tourists into Bryson
City if you will send them to me.
Whatca say? good Davidson. I
appreciate your letter very much
and will do everthing I can.
The concrete from Andrews to
Murphy is now open. There is
only a very short detour just be¬
side tne concrete between here and
there.
Let’s do our best for tiie motor¬
cade.
Very sincerely yours,
W. I). Whitaker.

Dr. Hardman Gives
Cleveland Recreational Grounds
A dream by a number of Cleve¬
land’s most progressive citizens has
been made a happy realization
through the kind generosity of Dr.
L. G. Hardman, of Cemmerce,
when he announced last week,
after purchasing that desirable tract
of land on tbe highway at “Little
Niagra,” which embraces the
springs, that lie would commence
at once to develop the tract and
make it a desirable and attractive
location for recreation and camping,
A land-scape gardner will design
the tract in a most appealing and
attractive way. Roadways will be
made for convenient travel, the
branch will be wali drained and
tiled, and all the marshy land will
be drained, toilets for men and
women will be erected, camping
sites will be laid out. In this tract
are several springs, which will be
and laid out in a pleasing
and artistic manner.
This site is the most desirable
location for a recreational and
ground in this section.
In the words ot Dr. Hardman,“it
is so noticable to tourists goir.g to
Helen or 011 the Appalachuin
Scenic Highway, and no more
desirable site can be found.”
A large force is now at work
preparing this site so that it may
be used at once.
Dr. Hardman made jt possible
for Hie Baptist Church here to he
built by contributing one-half the
of the cost of construction.
The principal spring on this
iract will be named “Martha
arid is deeded to itself,
which is a distinction not known
to any spring on record. On this
will be inserted a bronze
with this inscription :
“My name is Martha Francis.
of this spring was given to
by Dr. L- G. Hardman, of
Drink and quench
thirst. This typifies the
living water of the Lord, of which
when you drink you shall never
(hirst again, hut live forever.”
The Dawsonville Advertiser an¬
nounces that it is being rumored
that Solicitor General Robert
McMillian, of Clarkesville, wil Ibe
in the race for Judge of the North¬
Circuit.
A bill has been passed by the

Sunday.
ASBESTOS BUZZING
Rev. D. S. Grindle spent a
while with Mr. A. M. Allison
recently,
Mrs. Guy Thurmond and chil¬
dren spent a few days with Mr.
and Mrs. J. \V. Thurmond last
week.
Mr. J. P. Hefner was spending
some time with his son here and
says this dry weather is a good
sign of rain.
Mr. W. J. Freeman returned
last Saturday. The people here
did not know him for lie had been
gone some time.
This world is the stage and we
are the actors. “Honor and shame
from no condition rise. Act well
your part for there all honor lies.”
We hurry here and there hunting
tor thrills hut we are already in the
great show that is free for all. The
wild animals are nearly extinct bill
the clowt.s are growing more
numerous day by day in every way,
This world is a fleeting show and
we sing and strut like the grass¬
hopper until we are swallowed by
the turkey gobbler or frooze by a
blizzard from Greenland's icy
mountains.
Ichabod was a comedy of errors
who has acted in the show. He
left home one morning in te n
time to go to llie teachers’ institute
at Talullah Falls. When he arrived
at Clarkesville he heard the train
rambling (brought the land. He
was told if he would t un he could
catch the train. He made the
mile dasli when the thermometer
Was at blood heat and arrived at
tiie depot about the time the train
did. lie secured a ticket aiid
hoarded the train. This was his
first ride on the iron horse, ll
traveled very slow and then burned
cord wood and stopped for the
passengers to pick huckleberries.
It seemed that it would never get
there and when they did get there
they did not know what to do.
Ichabod had bought a new shirt
and he went out near the mighty
calaract to put it on and when lie
had put Ins head in and his arm in
one sl»eve he stumbled and came
near falling into llie mighty chasm.
Me then would have made a funny
looking corpse.
He was fold that lie could get
board at (he Gletibrook Hotel and
all went well the lirsl day. On the
second day they had bean and lie
asked for the pepper to go over his
beans. The box was the old
fashion kind made of glass and you
see what was in it, not like
the kind that they make now
which you can not see if they are
full or not. I'he pepper would
not sprinkle fast enough and he
began to work with the lid and the
whole business came out into his
plate. He was told to pass his
plate and have it emptied but lie
please pass the beans back.
So be ate tbe mess and that night
he dreamed he was sleeping near a
volcano. On ||ie next day he
reached the climax. They served
desert that day and Ichabod did
not know that it was to be eaten
last, lie ate his then reached over
got Laskley’s, then Smith’s
then lie asked Bill White to
pass the pie and he was told that
was bis, lie then saw the point.
This was not his last comedy ot
lie has made many since.
