VOL. XXVJIII, No. 30 .
HISTORIC LANDMARK
TO BE
V. R. Hollis
White county complains of
landmark which has been
in the way of good livestock and
vehicles, from ox-cart to
bile, and hindering the march
prosperity, for years.
Much thought and energy
some money has been expended
for road betterment, and with some
remits; but, the good citizens
White, particlarly in the neighbor¬
hood of Nacoochee Valley, are re¬
joicing that a new day is dawning.
A real road is promised.
Through the activities of the
Nacoochee Womans’ Club, the
material assistance of Gainesville
and other friends and a splendid
assurance of co-operation with our
own Ordinary by our Habersham
neighbors, headed by Judge
Brown, encourages us to expect a
very decided improvement in our
road situation and in the near
future.
At a recent meeting of a com¬
mittee of Nacoochee and Helen
citizens Judge Logan, who was
present, authorized certain mem¬
bers of this committee to arrange
for the application of convict labor,
due by Habersham County, on the
road leading through Nacoochee
Valley from the county line.
Subsequently, however, the
Grand Jury, composed primarily
of citizens residing in the lower
part of the county recommended
that this labor be used on the most
direct route frotn Clarkesville via
Cleveland to the Lumpkin County
line.
judge Logan, therefore out of a
desire to keep his promise to the
citizens of Nacoochee Valley and
at the same lime approve, as far ns
possible, the recommendation, ar¬
ranged with Judge Brown, for a
conference in the presence of two
Nacoochee representatives. The
result of this conference was a mu¬
tual agreement that all work which
could be more effectively done by a
road machine, from Mauldin Creek
bridge to Nacoochee Station, would
be done as early ns possible and
the amount deducted from lubor
due. The balance of convict labor
due our county by Habersham was
then to be applied on the route
specified in the Grand Jury recom¬
mendation. Judge Brown also
very kindly agreed, in response to
Judge Logan’s request, to permit
the use of the Habersham equip¬
ment, for a cash consideration, for
a time sufficient to complete the
road from intersection wilhClarkes
ville road to Cleveland, in the event
the balance due for convict hire
was not sufficient for said con¬
struction.
We heartily commend our Haber¬
sham neighbors and Judge Brown
in particular for their desire to
settle this obligation of long stand¬
ing and his willingness to equitably
divide the labor.
With the assurance that our peo¬
ple will gladly supplement the
machine work with teams and
labor, we rejoice in the prospect ol
an early and decided improvement
of the roads in Wiiite County.—
Gainesville Eagle.
Some of the Georgia press boys,
while in Boston, ate ice cream and
clain chowder. It made ’em sick.
Our grandmother warned us 50
years ago, never to drink milk and
eat fish at the same time. The
modern youth has a great deal
learn. Later in life, friends warn¬
ed us never to mix atchohcs and
water rnellon.—Greensboro Herald

ASBESTOS BUZZING
The refreshing showers have
been falling for the last few days.
This cheers all creation and is a
good time to transplant. If we do
our part fuithfully the wheel of
fortune will come around to him
who patiently waits. The duck
wants it to rain every day.
Messrs. Henry Davidson and
Panl Westmoreland were out this
way Monday looking at our good
road. Henry has a warm place in
the northern hemisphere of our
heart for on one Christmas he gave
us a store-bought doll. We had no
use for the doll under the heavens
for we did not know how to dress
and care for it, so we gave it to a
little girl who did and thus was a
small ripple of happiness started
which has not yet reached the
other shore.
Mark Anthony told his friends
and Romans to lend him their ears
so today let us lend the Confeder¬
ates our presence as well as our
ears. All aboard for the reunion

plank.
White county stw a new and
better day last Monday. It was
the convention of the rural letter
carriers of the Ninth Congressional
district. This was the first meet¬
ing of its kind ever held in our
county and of course a new thing
takes like wild fire. If you were
not there you missed a treat.
These carriers have done more for
the common people than any other
class of people. The speakers and
musicians did well. The blind
men sang about strawberries ac¬
companied by the saxophone.
These representatives of the 18
counties are a great advertising
medium for our county and will
help get us on the map. The old
time fiddler was there and when he
played some thought of good days
of long ago. The fiddler is the
poet laureate of music It has
pleased the peasant in bis hut and

Rural Carriers Enloy Greatest Day
In History Here Monday
My, My ! you never saw so many
rural letter carriers at one time in
all your life, unless you have at¬
tended a national convention, as
was in Cleveland at the Ninth Dis¬
trict Rural Letter Carriers’ meet¬
ing here Monday. There were but
very few carriers in all the eight¬
een counties of this district that
missed this great gathering. And
the people of White county turned
out in a large number to greet
these mail men.
Mr. W, R. Green, of Canton,
the retiring amiable and efficient
president, informed a representa¬
tive of The Courier that never had
lie witnessed a larger attendance al
a state convention, and certainly
nothing like that many at any pre¬
vious district meeting. Possibly
they expected to see and get
“moonshine” every time they
turned. That is the general belief
that people a little lower down in
Georgia think of the mountains.
But instead they were given a
spirit of hospitality, good fellow¬
ship and plenty of good things to
eat. You talk about plenty of
good things to eat, why it was
there in abundance. The ladies of
Cleveland certainly never spread as
much or as good food before. This
sumptuous repast was served in the
school auditorium, owing to rain,
which prevented it from being
served in Hardman park.
Early in the morning clouds be¬
gan to gather over this little moun¬
tain town and it was thought that
the.4Jt tendance .would Be small, Jau 1
as these mail men are accustomed
to travel in all kinds of weather
they didn’t let that keep them from
leaving their homes early and com¬
ing to Cleveland to attend their
association’s regular meeting.
Mr. W, R. Green, of Canton,
Ga.. president of the association,
called the meeting to order, after
wljich America was sung by tlie
lai^je audience. Rev. J. O. Bur¬
ned, pastor of the Cleveland Meth J
odist church, gave the invocation.
Co). C. II. EdwardB gave toe wel¬
come address for the town of
Cleveland, and Alex Davidson,
Cleveland’s postmaster, welcomed
thf mail carders on behalf of the
local post office force. E. J. Ham¬
rick, of Orange, responded to the
welcome addresses. Rural Letter
Carrier J. W. Pickens and Mr. A.
S. Ilardy, postmaster of Gaines¬
ville, made addresses,
A special feature of the occasion
was music, rendered by Messrs.
Coopei and Richardson, which was
immensely enjoyed.
The wives of the carriers organ¬
ized an auxiliary, Mrs. L. W.
Eberhart, of Maysville, being elect¬
ed president ; Mrs. Guy Fitts, of
Dalilonega, vice-president; Mrs.
Clyde Benton, of Commerce, sec¬
retary-treasurer.

tion wi'l be held in Commerce,

dent; Otto Hudgins, of Flowery
Branch, secretary-treasurer.
