Mr, Tom Turner and family
were in "this part recently.
Dr. and Mrs. 1 '. j. McDonald,
accompanied by Mr. McDonald, of
Jefferson, were out this way Sun¬
day. Dr. says the rats are very bail
in Cleveland and lie was given a
cat, a distant descent oj the Egypt¬
ian wild cat. lie lias a side line,
now and hopes to be sending cats
to Hamlin Town to relieve them of
their troubles,
Blackberry winter was more severe
than usual, accompanied by ram
and bail. There is no use to worr}
about the weather. We should Lie
thankful that everything is as well
as it is. Talking about the weath¬
er never grows old. Everybody
has an interest and especially the
farming class.
The flies are coining back and
soon will be followed by warm
weather. The best thing to do is
to clean up their raising places
Laying up for a rainy day in As¬
bestos has very near broke all out

The great dailies say that in
New York there is :t person run
over every 30 minutes. \\ e would
advise them to come to the moun¬
tains. But they sometimes mash a
toad and divide a black snake here.
The hog calling contest, which
was to have taken place on the 4111
of May, was called off on account
of the cold weather and John
Smith having a severe case of sort
throat.
Dock Adams has a new swarm
of bees that have been lying on the
outside of the gum lor a month and
every time the sun shines out, they
swarm again, but he soon gets them
to settle again by ringing a big
mouthed cow bell. Bees and sheep,
are very much alike. They in¬
crease very last but when they start
down lull they go at once. The
land of Canaan once flowed with
niik and honey but now the timber
is all gone and the climate has
changed. When the sun shines
the bee is very industrious. He
sings while he works and thereby
turns his work into play. \V hen
people sees a fellow extremely
friendly they say he is seeking po¬
litical favors and has a bee in his
bonnet, but it is not always so, it
may be a yellow jacket.

Forest Fire Season Closes.
The spring fire season, during
winch 43 forest fires occurred on
•lie Cherokee Forest, is drawing to
a close. Because of the recent
rains and because the foliage on
the trees is well grown, it is not
believed that there will be much
more danger from forest fires until
the tall when the leaves are on the
gjound.
,(The 43 fires burned over an area
oftabout two square miles or 1.475
acres, one-hall of which was Na¬
tional Forest land and the other
hfif land owned by private citizens
wlio live within the Forest bound*
a#i ten. To extinguish these fires,
i!^e Forest Service spent several
hundred dollars and used hendreds
•>t tools, several trucks, spray
pltmps, horses and mules and many
men,
Iv. enty-three of the 43 fires were
of incendiary origin, set for the
sole purpose of burning tfie range,
lit their efforts to slop incendiary
lores fires the Forest Service insti
uted seven trespass cases, five of
which have nlreadp been paid by
the offenders. If an offender re¬
fuse. to pay the full costs and dam
iges resulting from a fire he has
set, he is prosecuted ill either (he
Slate or Federal courts or both.
Both State and Federal laws have
severe penalties for starting fires in
ill® woods. One man was convict¬
ed by ttie shoe prints lie left when
setting fire and required to pay a
bill for damages and costs. Upon
irrival at tlie scene of the fire, the
Forest Officers always look tyi
clues and follow tracks if any cun
he found.
The number of fires on tlie Cher
okee Forest has steadily decreased
year after year because public senti¬
ment has been aroused against set¬
ting of fires. Due to the publicity
given to the damage caused by for¬
est fires, the travellers through tlie
forest and the people living in the
forest are much more carelul than
formaly. Jua good many cases
women and girls living on the For¬
est start work putting out the fires
before the Forest Ollicers arrive.
One fire was put out this year by
rain just as the crew arrived at the
scene of the fire.
On one of the larger fires 011 Big
Frog Mountain in Folk Couney
the entire community was at work
extinguishing tlie fire when ttie
Forest Officers arrived. The For¬
est Service hired thircy men to ex¬
tinguish this fire and not wit list.Hid¬
ing the large number of people at
work the fire burned all night.
Two hundred acres of land were
burned over before the fire was ex¬
tinguished.
Alter mi illness of several months,
Mrs. Sara Hanie died last Thurs¬
day evening, May 2 , 1929, at the
home of her son, Rev ' 1 '. J. Ilanie
of Mossy Creek district.
Mrs. Hanie’s home was origin¬
ally in Union county, Ga., but for
several years she has made her
home with tier son in \\ Lite C.
Mrs. Hanie is survived by two
sans, Rev. T. J- Hanie and J. B.
Hanie, of Tampa, Flu., and sever¬
al grand-children.
She lived to the ripe old age of
eighty-six years, leaving behind
her a long life of kindness and
noble deeds worthy of emulation

ducted at the home, Saturday, the
