Mr. James P. Davidson,
Cleveland, Georgia.
Dear Mr. Davipson :
Your letter of November 3 would
have been answered sooner had it
not been for the delay in running
down the status of the case about
which you inquire.
Only today I have learned that
the crew of Forest Service survey¬
ors have completed their work on
the tracts in Tennessee and recent¬
ly have moved back again into the
territory in which your land is lo¬
cated. The crew has a consider¬
able group of offerings to locate
and survey in that territory and as
quickly as possible, with our limi¬
tations of resources which we are
permitted to apply to surveys,work
on these small Georgia tracts will
be completed.
As soon as the surveys are finish¬
ed, the description swill go to Title
Attorney Awtrey in Franklin, N.
■C., who will investigate the valid¬
ity of the titles. This procedure is
necessary because it is not possible
for the Title Attorney 10 identify
possible overlaps, a number of
which usually are encountered m
lands in your territory, until he has
tlie survey descriptions at hand.
In case the land can be acquired
by direct purchase, that is, in case
the title is good, there will be no
delay in making payment after the
Title Attorney submits bis report;
iiowever, in case it should be found
that the title were blemished, it
may necessitate condemnation pro¬
ceedings, In this case,, title would
have to go through tlte Federal
Court and some greater delay
would he occasioned,
1 am sorry indeed that it is im¬
possible to move faster in our sur¬
vey work, but after exhausting
every possibility, we find that, at
best, the work moves slowly. The
fairest thing is done, that is, as a
rule work is initiated on pending
tracts in the order of their priority
of offer. You see, we are con¬
fronted with two difficulties in this
work; ffrst, our funds are limited
and second, we must so organize to
insure continuing employment of
the survey force, otherwise we
would have to contend with con¬
stantly shifting personnel. This
would cause even greater delay in
the final analysis, because of the
skill required in the work, which
comes not only by long experience
in surveying as such, but even
more through an expert knowledge
of land grants and other obstacles
which stand in the way of easy
identification of tract ownership in
all our original thirteen states. In
your territory, we have encounter¬
ed particular difficulties in this re¬
spect in recent work. But, as I
have said, we will do our level
best. Ranger Woody, undoubted¬
ly can keep you advised of progress
it you will get tn touch with him
from time to time.
Very sincerely yours,
Evan W. Kelley, Dist. Forester.

Mr. Loniiie Lawson has moved
to beautiful Nacoochee Valley.
Our best wishes go with him.
Early in the Fall there seemed to
be more apples than they could
dispose of. But they have been
going toSoutli Georgia and Florida
in a hurry and by the ides of
March they will be scarce and a
rarity. The citrus fruits are very
fine, but give, Ob! give us the
us North Geoigia apple blown upon
by Fall winds and kissed by the
Summer sunshine. Tney do not
need to be peeldd like the orange,
but only give them a gloss and you
will see the seven colors of the
rainbow. They are very pleasing
to the eye and tempting to the ap¬
petite then if you would live long
and be healthy eat an apple.
Cotton is cheap now, but by
April it will take a rise. There
will have to be some inducement
tor us to plant another crop and
.buy high grade guano.
The greatest event in all history
will soon be here. This event is
1927 years old, but is ever now on
the horizon of hope. The inspired
phropets old foretold this time for
thousands of years. The people
who sat in darkness saw a great
light. It was the star of Bethlehem.
The angels announced to the shep¬
herds by night the great central
event and peace on earth and good
will toward all men. He was one
of the common people and they
heard him gladly—not one of four
hundred. lie taught as one having
authority and not as one of the
Pharisees, -lUvtif* inspired Queen
Isabella to pledge her jewels that
Columbus might find a city of
refuge for the poor outcast of con¬
tinental Europe. It guided the
hand of John Bunyau ia Bedford
jail and wrought the great refor¬
mation led by Martin Luther. The
winds of Galilee obeyed his voice
as be said, peace be still.
We hope Santa will give you all
a very pleasant call and not dis¬
turb your pleasant dreams as you
sleep very soundly. If be happens
to not get around to your place
don’t get all ruffed uj> like a por¬
cupine and snapping at everything
you see for if ycu do you will ruin
the spirit of Xmas.
The record of 1926 will soon
close. Ring out the old, ring in
the new. Many have crossed the
great gulf who were far better than
any of us by nature and far better
by practice. Then let us be glad
we are still in the land of the
living. Then let us have the true
spirit by taking our feet out of the
inirry clay and placing them on the
rock of ages.
We wish the Courier and all of
its readers o Merry Christmas and
a Prosperous New Year.

Mr. E. R. Mixer, of Ne-.v
publisher of Mixer’s Road Maps
and Guides, was in the city a shot”
while Friday en route to Atlanta,
from whence be goes on into
da in tiie interest of his house, ami
on an Inspection trip of the
palachian and other noted high¬
ways in this section.
“You have the most
highway in the country in the
palachian,” said Mr. Mixer in tin
interview, “not alone in scenic
granduer but in its splendid travel¬
ing condition in all seasons, I
traveled 80,000 miles over (be Itigh
ways of the country since 1901 in
my business, and 1 am frank to say
. t }
1. iiave never seen anything
equal it.
“From its southennosf point,
straight on through to Quebec,” be
continued,“it is the same—a fine
roadway bordered with scenes of
natural beauty unsurpassed* any¬
where. Any man who passes
through the South and dorsn’t
by way of the Appalachian misses
the finest trip of his life.”
Mr. Mixer stated that he;
ieature the Appalachian on
maps, and stressed the need
more publicity regarding this great
highway, lie stated that the Ap¬
palachian only needed to be known
to more tourists from the North,to
recognized for its true worth, and
to become the leading artery
travel through the South.
Besides publishing the Atito
Blue Book, Mr. Mixer* house
a TAo published' about a million toad
folders and a million card strip
maps this year alone, and they
have proved of invaluable help to
motorifts all over the country.
Mr. Mixer, who is a genial and
pleasant gentleman, will through
Ids publications do much toward
bringing the Appalachian more
prominently to tlie attention of
motorists the country over.—

An Oklahoma editor tells of an
old Indian who came into 11 is office
to pay for his paper. The editor
took the money; then the Indian
wanted a receipt. Mr. Indian, in
tact insisted. After making it out.
the editor wanted to know why
was so persistent about, wanting a
receipt. The Indian said :
die sometime. Go to big gate and
St. Peter ask if I have been good
Indian. L say yes. He say, ‘Did
you pay editor for paper!’ I say

It is particularly regrettable tlwit
the old custom ot “burning off the

We need to be educated more to
the value of trees, then that nib
custom would speed! v pass with
