SHOAL CREEK NEWS
We have had some heavy rains
and we understand that the water
courses have been mighty high.
Mr. Ernest Nix has had an attact
of pneumonia.
Dr. Neal seems to be having
great success with the many cases
of pneumonia he has been treating,
but don’t mention mud to Dr.
We sometimes think it was a
tougli life old father Adam and
mother Eve had to live, but after
thinking over the matter we decide
different. Think of the pleasure
of not having to wear leaky shoes
or buy burrying permits when you
are dead. Neither did they have
to get up in'the night to answer
the telephone nor be bothered with
the neighbors coming in to bear
the radio. They were not bother
witli the chickens from across the
street. There were no bill collec¬
tors, book agents or candidates in
those days. We guess Adam never
bad a shampoo nor Eve a bob, buf
it would seem mighty natural to
read of Adam fussing about His
collar buttons and Eve complaining
about wearing the same old fig
leaves so long. We bet one thing,
old Adam managed to stay out of
debt. Of course. Adam had no
money,but be had lots of live stock.
There seemed to be very few horse
Uaders in his day to swindle the
old fellow. We imagine if the old
couple were living today and were
to look out from under their favor¬
ite brush arbor and see some of
their decendants coming to show
them all the pretty things “we’ve
made,” we guess old Adam would
say : Yes, you are mighty smart,
but I bet you don’t live as long as
1 and the “old ‘Oman.”

Dear Sirs :
I greatly appreciate the assis¬
tance the State Highway Board
has given this county. Hence, 1
feel rather reluctant in bringing to
your attention for immediate con¬
sideration the continuance of the
paving on route No. 11 to Cleve¬
land. This is vitally imperative as
you have been informed by your
engineers, to travel during all,
seasons of the year.
This highway will be one of
Georgia’s most traveled arteries as
sobn as North Carolina completes
a short stretch of paving which
should be around January 1st next.
Certainly the Appalachian Scenic
Highway is one of Georgia’s most
widely advertised highways. Then
can it be possible that it will suffer
the wrong ;iiveiiising >11; account
of a short stretch north of Cleve¬
land which gets almost impassable
during winter?
Your prompt action in this mat¬
ter will be appreciated.
1 further request that you advise
me by letter of your action.
Very truly yours,
Jas. P. Davidson.
Dec. 17th, 1925.
Mr. Jas, P. Davidson,
Cleleland, Ga.
Dear Sir :
Your letter of Dec. 7U1 is before
me. I regret that I have not an¬
swered it earlier but was in South
Georgia all of last week. I wish
to advisfe that the State Highway
Board approved extending the
macadam paving to Cleveland.
I will have prepared for you a
copy ot the map which 1 had
before the Board at their meeting
Friday when you were present.
From this map you saw that the
Appalachian Highway entering
the state at Biairsvilie ar.d passing
thru your good town and continu¬
ing on to Gainesville, had been
selected as one of the highways to
he marked with a standard Federal
Highway Marker which will carry
a continuous number thru out its
entire length.
This further places before the
traveling public this highway by
having it selected from the entire
State Highway System to be dis¬
tinguished by a continuous number.
Yours truly,
State Highway Board
By W. R. Neal.
State Highway Engineer.

Mr. Barnett Blalock left for Fla.
Monday. It looks like all of North
Gaorgia will get there yet but they
all do not stay very long.
Hon. Thos, M. Bell, who has
been in Washington, D. C., lor

Up on the Potomac is the great¬
est place for debate in the world
and when ihe Republicans and
Democrats lock horns you may
think there is something rotten in
Denmark. You might imagine
they make more noise than the con¬
fusion of tongues at the tower of
Babel.
It is a great priviledge lor ,a
fellow to get away and spend just
one night at the foot of old Yonah
which was crowned with ice and
snow.
The Morse Bros. Lmbr. Co., is
now taking up the steel on the
Blood Mt. line which is being
transferred to the tram road near
Helen.
The branch here which was so
small last summer looked like an
inland sea last Sunday night. It
was the largest rain in five years.
Mr. Joe Powell,who is an engineer
on the tram road, now living in
two shanty car. Was compelled to
take up his bed and flee for the
hills for safety. The aufos are idle
now and it is most too cold to ride
in airplanes. Tne roads are no
good now lor who can expect good
roads during such weather as ht
been recently. The so,l and , hc
high grade fertilizer that was
soluble last summer ,w.\
somewhere.
But we can plow up some soil
like it next spring. This will help
grow canes in (he brakes down
about Leather’s ford for they will
need fishing canes when they go to
Burton Dam next fall.
When you study the best litera¬
ture you come in touch with the
kings of earth. They art the best
kings who write the great poems,
histories, works of fiction and
essays. Your education brings you
in .touch with these. They talk
with you; they give you the very
best they have; they never chide
you for being ignorant, but en¬
courage you to become their
friends. Thus they make them¬
selves kings of your-tnind. This is
what it means to be truly a king.
No other kind of a king could rule
so kindly, royally, powerfully and
intimately. The only true king is
the king of the heart and whose
welcome words inspire you. You
are their subjects hut they make
their subjects free. You are glad
to follow them; their service is
your highest choice. In respond¬
ing to their words you are emanci¬
pated from many a petty prejudice,
narrow view vulgar usage; you are
thinking new thoughts, living in a
new world in which life is noble.
You follow the king as members
of his household where you can
hear his words. You can read the
works of Homer, Isaiah, Milton,
Bacon, Wordsworth and Tenny¬
son. These are your true kings
and directors of your liberal edu¬
cation, whose companionship en¬
riches the world and a deeper
world within.

Inspiration Vs Perspiration
=
A visitor to Thos. A. Edison’s great plant once
asked Mr. Edison if it didn't require great inspira¬
tion to plan and carry out the wonderful inventions
such as he has perfected. Mr. Edison answered
that it required more perspiration than it did in¬
spiration.
Nobody has a monopoly on perspirkion. It
requires perspiration and lots of it to attain business
success. You can do it. If Mr. Edison had waited
for the inspiration he would have never attained
the greatness that he has in the world of inventions.
He toiled throughout the days and into the nights
while his neighbors slept.
This bank wants to help you take care of the
dollars that perspiration brings to you. It offers
you every aid and co-operation.
