CIRCUIT NOTES
The Rev. Staton Howard will
be the pastor ut Smith Chapel this
year and he will begin his work on
Sunday Jan. 10.
Mt. Pleasant and Smith Chapel
hitherto on the Mission Work were
this year transferred to the regular
Cleveland Circuit, making 8
churches in all, but that is a little
too much for one man and so we
have enlisted Bro. Stanton in the
cause and he has consented to go
to work. The other churches for¬
merly on the Mission : Blue Ridge,
Pleasant Retreat, Oakes Chapel
and Monroe have been abandoned.
Any members of these churches
wishing to transfer their member¬
ship may obtain a certificate by
applying to Rev. YVm. Greenway,
Cleveland, Ga.
We congratulate the members of
Zion church on their progressive¬
ness. They have made quite a
change for the better in the looks
of the church and will improve it
still more later on. Go to it Zion,
you’ll weather the storms yet and
regain your former splendor.
The pastor will preach at Nu*
coochee next Sunday, Dec, 20th at
11 130 A. M.
Second notice to Golden Cross
ditectors, do not forget the Christ¬
mas offering.
As we expect to go away for the
Christmas season this year and will
have no notes next week we take
this occassion to thank Ye Editor
and all the readers of The Courier
for their patience and kindness
during the year that Inis pust and
wish them all “A Merry Christmas
and a Glad New Year.”
SHOAL CREEK NEWS
The school and community here
were shocked by the death of Mr.
Dock Ash. Mr. Ash was a good
man and a good teacher,
Mr. Morris and three sons and
B. M. McGhee, all of Gainesville,
were up this way last Sunday.
Reece and Wilkins at the
William Allison place seems to be
going after business with a vim.
It’s not so much which pocket
we carry things in, as it is what
we carry in our pockets.
We often hear the letnark :
“They say.” Well, what do they
say? They say old Mrs. So and
So is an awful old piece of creation
not nice enough about her cooking
and wears old style clothes and
they say “Old man what you may
call him” is awful slow about pay¬
ing his debts, is a bad manager,
and if he ever had any money he
made it unlawfully, and they say
the new family who has moved
into the community will bear
watching for they are of the same
name of some people. They say
once knew. They say the mer¬
chant cheats widow women and
children. They say the preacher
preaches to please his rich mem¬
bers. They say over in another
county that r.o one has to work
only just for exercise and that all
the men pay their debt6 before due.
The women all clean housekeepers.
The girls keep up with the styles.
And that you never see a mad dog,
or rattlesnake, nor have any car
trouble over there, over there.
That’s what they say.

Mr. Homer Westmoreland re¬
turned from Florida Monday and
reports that everything is alright.
Mr. Will Freeman, one of our
oldest World War veterans has
gone to see about the boom in
Florida, the land of (lowers, go¬
phers, oranges, mosquitos and gab
linippers. He will soon write
back and tell how many bears, ali
gators and missionaries he has kill¬
ed and how many hides he lias for
the fur market.
Some are looking for a dry
Christmas for the prohibition of¬
ficers got our community still late¬
ly, but a possum’s track has been
seen over in owl hollow and we
can have a race to make some noise
as fire works are costly and danger¬
ous. The most of us have our lives
insured but we can’t enjoy the
Yuletide with one eye or hand
gone. So boys get your license—
we mean your hunting license—
and get one-eyed Fido, one-eared
Bruno and pigeon-toed Trip and
let us have a real serenade and
catch that grinning possum for
meat is getting scarce. The most
of us can’t go on Christmas eve
night for we have but one pair of
socks and want to hang them up
that night and if our socks smell
like our feet Santa Claus may not
leave anything there. Some of us
are made wrong, our feet smell and
our nose runs,
The people of White are now
lpiving court again and as usual,
plenty mud and rain. When tiiey
now ask, what do you say? You
can say, it is muddy.
An ignorant man indead earnest
can make a more eloquent appeal
than a "great orator who is not.
One satisfaction in going back
to the old home town is that our
friends have either grown gray or
bald.
The old fashioned idea of being
economical and doing without un¬
necessary things of life works us
well now as it ever did.
Every person who springs a new
idea is reguarded as a crank until
other cranks see the wisdom of it.
Good old St. Nicholas visited
the Dutch children of Holland
several years ago and on Christ¬
mas and gave them gifts. Ilis
name has been shortened and he is
now called Santa Claus, who will
arrive here soon. He is now grow¬
ing very old with locks of hair as
white as snow, red cap, red smil¬
ing face and bright eyes. Ills
sleigh is drawn by two swift foot¬
ed reindeer. He generally comes
down the chimney just before day¬
light and no one has been able to
see hitn for he comes when you ate
asleep. Let us put on our nicest
rags, look pleasant, stay sober and
wish him much joy and happiness
on his wearysome journey.
The race for the governorship is
about to warm up and there will
be plenty of timber. It seetns that
it is about time that a man from
the mountains was filling the
gubernatorial chair. This section
has not been so honored since the
days ot Joe Brown, the plow boy
of Gaddistown, and Allen D.
Candler, the one-eyed boy of
Pigeon Roost. Well, little Joe
Brown was raised in Cherokee
county but had moved away to
Ailanta when he was called to the
executive chair. There should be
a man elected who has the interest
of Iiis great state at heart and know
Georgia from Rabun Gap to Tybee
Light and from the mountain wall
to the stormy deep.

MAY YOUR CHRISTMAS BE HAPPY!
The Christmas Season annually brings to
mankind the thoughtful hour of serious retrospec¬
tion and the importance of governing their affairs
in a manner befitting wise men.
The spirit of Christinas often brings us face to
face with our shortcomings and failures to build
structures of supply for those we love. If such is
your case, you need to change your course. This
bank calls attention to the essentials of peace and
plenty, Vision and Thrift. Vision is understand¬
ing. Thrift is common sence conservatism of our
talents.
We wish you all a happy Christmas.
