“Yonah and Tray mountains, near¬

chief, who eloped witli
member of a rival tribe.
story is that the two lovers
were found by Nacoochee’s

If you don’t approve the creation
of a board of commission now is
the time to howl and don’t wait
until it is done and then kick like
a bay steer. This is a small county
and one man can look after her
interest as well as six. We are
connected up with Hall,Union and
Towns counties and will soon be
connected with Lumpkin and
Habersham by a system of fine
state highways arid this will leave
only a few roads under county
control. We have been traveling
in a circle thus never getting any¬
where. One representative creates
a board of revenues and the next
abolishes them. If you don’t want
to be made the laughing stock of
other counties let well enough
alone. The legislature could do
lusting good by appointing a large
committee of their body help us
kill red nose briars and pass a law
to have competent drivers on our
highways—see that they have
qualifications to drive an auto.
On last Saturday there was a
mighty rumbling in tire air. On
first sight it was thought to be a

proved to be an areoplane flying
very low. It must have been sur¬
veying an air route. If you have
any interest in the air naw may be
your time to sell at a very good
price. If you own any land of
course your title reaches for above
the clouds. When located most
everybody will want to live on that
route, but they will soon have to
return to the soil. Back to the
soil will be the slogan, it was a
