As March h:is come in

down now to to degrees below
zero. You may look ior a
spring as it is a late Easter. 1 he
seasons have changed. W
formally began in November ami
in February the fruit trees would
bloom and as a rule there would
be plenty ol fruit and
would plant corn the last of March.
Mr. \Y. R. Ledford will make a
good road supervisor. He was
raised to work and lias not forgot
it yet. lie knows how to handle
a woodeti-fortted plow stock all the
wav up to a road scrape. There
were two kinds of wooden stocks.
One was the smily kind and the
other one had a foot that came up
to between the handles.
[t is now understood that Morse
Bros, have bought the Vovel tim¬
ber tract just north of the
Ridge. It is their intention to
move their saw mill from Helen to
Ilayesville, N. C., but it is to the
interest of \\ hite county to let it
stay at Helen.

thought by some that the lellow
that plows and hoes his own row is
fit for that and nothing else. li
was not so in past days. Elisha
was plow inJJ seven yoke of oxen
when he was called to be a prophet
of Israel, so in those old days they
did some good work too, jsreat
Butman left hi? oxen to the plow
and hastened to join the patriots
when he heard the guns of Bunker
llill that were heard aronnd the
world. CincinaUus was ^plowing
when he was called to be a Roman
dictator. Cincinatti, an inland
city, a great railroad center likeAl
lnnta, was named for him. When
Joe E. Brown ran for governor he
was known as the plowboy ofGad
disfown, just as Allan I). Gaudier
was known as tlie one-eyed plow
boy of Pigeon Roost. Mne people
heard him gladly for he pleased the
country people and also the city
people for they had once’ lived in
the country. Joe Brown was cold
and calculating, but Howell Cobb
was hot headed and impetus and
was ready to criticise the plowboy
of Gaddistown and tried to leave
ttje impression that it was a dis¬
grace to the bull he plowed.
There is a depression in business
about every ten years. Busines
was very Hood along about 19J9
and I p JO, but this was followed by
a panic and all things seem to be
on a stand-still at this time.

carried much news. Dick Hawes,
the murderer in Alabama, and Tom
Wolfolk, the murderer in Georgia,
was given much space when they
were on trial. folin Coffee, near
Gainesville, was an outlaw, and
the Chief of Police, (another Tom

given a great write-up. Dr. W.
U.Felton was prominent in politics

been inspired by her husband, or
he was inspired by his wife, as
both are immortal in Georgia’s his¬

should be encouraged by those two

boys handicap themselves when
they choose the wrong girl. Any¬

Fastest Thing on Legs
“The fastest thins: on less” is the
title deserved by the whippet, Hie
featherweight, long-legged racing dog
that is rapidly becoming popular in
America. Over a 200-yard course the
dogs will outdistance a race horse,
reaching the finish in from 10 to 12
seconds. That is half the time Hie
fastest man would require!
Tn thp Farm Journal, Werner P.
Meyer tells how the whippet originat¬
ed in England. “The breed was built
up,” he relates, “chiefly by mixing
tlie blood of the greyhound with the
terrier family. The result of this 1n
terbreeding was a dog rcshmlilirig tlT
greyhound in physical features, but
smaller and tighter of btiild; and, (9
the speed and Stamina bt the grey¬
hound we’re added, the daring and

Washington, March -1
—Congressman Thomas M.
<>f the ninth Georgia district,
introduced a bill under the
vision- of which federal
judges would be able to
sentences or fines after flic term
court in which a case had
heard.
At present tfie law does not
mit of tiie changing of a
alter the conclusion of the term
in which the case was heard,
many cases. Judge Bell feels,
results in hardship to
people and their families, since
newly discovered evidence, or
other matter that might
would justify the reduction of
sentence, could not be acted on
the court unless i) developed
ing the current term of the court.
It is understood that the
ment of justice will support
gressman Bell’s bill provided
constitutional objection is found.

The mass meeting at the
school building Monday
which was called by the trustee
lor the purpose of informing
patrons and public of the school's
financial condition, was indeed
timely aiid most interesting.
Messrs T. \ . Cantrell and J. H,
felford carefully and verv plainly
presented the situation. It is not
possible for us to go into the matter
j es they very ably did at this mect
J | ing, but we do wish t<> give y ou
the financial status.
To make it clear to those who
are not familiar with the source of
the school’s revenue, which is
staled in the assets below, the
pays to one high school in each
county *1,000, which ts state aid,
and $500 tor a school being con¬
solidated with another school,
which accounts lor the $ r ,300 in
H)2y and 1930 by the Tesuutee
school consolidation with Cleve¬
land school. G. & N. VV. iv. R.
has not paid any taxes to the coun¬
ty in a number of years and it is
estimated that this will amount to
$800 to the school. The trustees
approximate that they will be able
to get $2oo I rout the bondsmen of
J. II. Campbell.
The figures we are giving vary
some from what Mr. Cantrell had
on tlie board Monday night be¬
cause he has received since then
some monies and made payments,

Mr. Cantrell tells The Courier
that the indebtedness of the school
is less than it was six years ago,
which was around *3,000, but the
state money is not coming in as
prompt is it was then, which
means that loans must be carried
linger, hence more interest accu¬
mulates and ot course the debt in¬
creases.
As a matter of informal ion). ’the
County school board pays for the
