Just from the Mountains.
The CookBros. are mailing great
improvement!-' on tiie highway here
The people mav be done plant¬
ing and the berrv crops will be in
by the time the Georgia legislature
meets and then you will see busi¬
ness pick up.
Mr. Fiddler, of Helen, went
down to Gainesville Sunday and
from there he visited Buford by an
airplane He was much pleased
with his trip, and says he is now
going to buy him one as traveling
by place is much safer than on land
All should give him rigid of way
over their premises. Passenger
traffic is not so dangerous hut when
they get to carrying heavy freight
and if they should land on your
house some night they would not
leave a greasy spot.
The boom is now over in Florida
and it is now being followed by
the Mediterranean fruit ily. Land
was so high down there they push¬
ed the sea back and begin to build
more. It seemed as it they were
going to put the aligators out ol
business. The keen eyed American
eagle saw all this and he snatched
him a gator flew away to the
mountains which is tree from
galanippers and mosquitoes. He
has been reported to have been
seen flying from peak to peak with
that gator under one wing and a
grindstone under the other. He
was grinding his bill awhile and
then he would try to skin that
gator awhile, The old shall dream
dreams and t he young sir all see
visions. Selah.
On land, sea and in the sky
there is continually a change. On
Sunday the road, were fine but be¬
fore night they were muddy. \ ou
look out on the land and see every¬
thing clothed m beautiful green
you might think it was going to be
perpetual mid-summer nights
dream, but how soon will tae voice
of the firefly, the cricket and the
brown thrush will be hushed and
}ack Frost like a wolt in the night
will be knocking at the door of
your earthly habitation. Y ou see
the curtain raise there appears the
singing grasshopper, the green
tobacco worm and the Colorado
beetle. The old turkey gobblei
soon gobbles them and on Thanks¬
giving lie will be gobbled by some¬
body. You look out on the brim
deep, you see the ships come in
and go out. You see the billow
rise |which seem mountain high
but they override them all. \ ou
hear the sounding of the waters,
which seem to be weeping over
the dead which lie hurried at m
bottom to await the great resur¬
rection when earth and sea will
give up their dead. The sounding
of the mountains are quite different
It brings to you fond recollection
of childhood beautiful days, of tin
dinner horn at noon, of the moss)
bucket that hung in the well, of
the red strawberries that kissed
your lips and ot tlie Bob \\ bin
that spoke so often of loyalty,

I LAT CREEK NEWS
By your l tide Joe—Ad
The weather man might as well
just put up the sign WET “very
wet” and take a vacation.
We noticed our good friend, the
Asbestos writer, telling folks how
much they were worth. Now that
is (the thing. There is always
something to be proud of, or rather
thankful tor if we are still alive,
and a fellow can generally tell
pretty well whether her is or not.
Well, that beats being dead, es¬
pecially dead so long. If we have
a sore throat we ought to be thank¬
ful that we are not a giraffe; if we
have to go barefooted we wont
have any corns on our feet; we can
have false teeth extracted without
pain; if our head is entirely bald
our barber bill will be light ; a hole
in a poor man’s pocket never
causes him to lose much money,
and if he has nothing at all he
never has to have any bankrupt
proceedings. And, Oh 1 my, just
look at the pretty things that are
put here for the poor man to see.
Kiel) tools build fine houses, etc,,
for us to feast our eyes on, and all
the nice red paint that girls dob on
their Hap pets t hey grin with looks
pretty, if it lms not faded out by
sitting up too late with some boy
friend. Even a mean dog can be
praised for having white teeth.
Many of our senators and congress¬
men are noted men, some for being
very ole, some for being fleshy,
others for having had intelligent
ancestors, etc.
It looks now like it would not
be so very long until they begin
hard-surfacing the highway through
here. Well, if we have good roads
in any part of the country, ahd we
should,we should have them every¬
where. The better they make the
ones we already have the more ur¬
gent it is that we have better roads
all through the country. Properly
on the highways gets high and
over populated, while that farther
off decreases in value and unpopu
filed. So we say, build them now
even though the cost be greater
new the people can easier pay the
difference uy having roads.
See you all later.

Gentlemen :
Mr. T. 11 . Little, President of
this Bank, was on his farms in
Banks and Franklin counties yes¬
terday and found boll ^weevils. 1
don’t know whether the weevil
has ever invaded your county or
not. 11 he has he went into win¬
ter quarters there last fall on the
tail-end of tlie season and is there
ready to come out this spring and
reproduce by the millions. The
best time to kill him is when the
cotton is small. It requires much
less \* ork and trouble, is done
much more cheaply | and mote
ground can Ire covered in the pro¬
cess during a day. If §you have
ever had the weevil, get your far¬
mers on the job.
1 have enclosed an article which
will appear in papers in this and
Banks countv next week. It you
have ever had the weevil, I would
suggest that you get your editor to
publish something in his paper
next week. Kill him early in
order to get a good crop of cotton.
Y ours very truly,
F. M. Reeves, Cashier.
Eight The Boll Weevil Early
It is reported that boll weevils
have already been found in some
sections of Banks county. Tie is
appearing early in the season and
he can he fought much easier by
getting on the job and fighting
him before the cotton begins to put
on limbs and blooms. It is much
cheaper to kill -weevils
cotton is small and the old weevils
are destroyed before they begin
reproducing in squares and bolls.
Unless an early fight is put up, the
weevil will get: the start. The fol¬
lowing is recommended as the best
mixture for early application :
“A homemade mixture of one
pound of calcium arsenate, one
gallon of molasses (unfermented)'
and one gallon of water may be
used. A few drops of this mixtuie
are applied to the tip of the plant,
with a cheap mop made by tieing
a cotton cloth to the end of a com¬
mon stick.”
Let every farmer in tins section
watch his fields and get on the job
the first time he sees weevils. They
are in this section, especially 111
Banks county. They went into
winter quartets last fall, and there
was no cold weather to kill them
and they will get the crop, unless
they are poisoned. Let every far¬
mer, inercllant, and others be on
toes this year.
