If The Courier does no more
good than keep the family home
long enough to lead it, then it is
worth while.
Cleveland will become the kind
of a town all good citizens |want it
to be,less the proportions by which
it is held back by those who don’t
give a rap what becomes of it.
The Editor thinks you can catch
more customers with advertising
in 'Plie Courier than you can by
st anding out in front of your store

I wish to give you an account of
the fish fry given by Will Hell at
Bell’s Mill on last Thursday even
mg, July 9. It was one of the best
fish fries I have ever attended. Tile
fish were fried by an expert, whose
name 1 do uot recall, however he
lives at Chicopee. We all enjoyed
he fish and other good tilings that
go well with fish. Will saw that
each was served and enjoyed seeing
them eat. I will give the names
of those l knew present: Fred
Beil and family and Rev. Jones ot
Young Harris church, Athens,Rev
T. L. Rutland Jund family, Rev.
II. 1 ’. Slokes, and Rev. Morris,
■ ister and daughter gave the music
and Rev. James Clark, the boy
preacher, undWill’s private pastor
Allan ja j raid and family, C. C
Jarrard and family, II. A. Jarrard
and family, Mrs. Wallace Bell and
many others. We wish Will and
tamity a successful and long life.

To whom this may concern :
In fixing tile salaries of teacher
for this coining school term tin
board of education was forced ti
reduce salaries us follows: Teach¬
ers who received $55 per month
last year will receive #50 and those
who received $45 per month will
receive $40. This cut in salaries
was made tor the reason that the
county wide school tax will be re¬
duced more than one thousand dol¬
lars and the state appropriation
aiso will be reduced and there will
be insufficient funds to pay greatei
salaries.
Also for the reason above assis¬
tant teachers have been cut in
several instunces. The board and
myself very much regretted to havi
make these reductions in salaries,
but could not do otherwise.
Teachers who teach in the coun¬
ty will please take notice of the
above in order that we may havt
no misunderstanding in tlie future.
Respectfully.
C. H. Edwards, Supt.

Natural Cat Not for Autos
The bureau of standards says that
automobiles could be run successful!}
on natural gas, but the gus would have
to be compressed into steel cylinders
which would add considerable weight
The amount of natural gas equivalent
to five gallons of gasoline would re
quire enormous containers if it were
not compressed.

electric service to Georgia homes
under which they have eetved

ELECTRIC SERVICE
JUST WOULDN’T DO TODAY!
; T WAS simply great, years ago.
when electricity was a novelty. A
few light bulbs, dangling from the
ceiling by twisty bare cords, made
your home the envy of all the
neighbors.
Lighting was about the inly job electricity
could do then. Now, it does a better job of
lighting, cooks the food, oercolates the coffee,
toasts the bread, puts a cool breeze right where
you want it, makes the ice and preserves the
food, washes and irons the clothes, sweeps
the floor, and does most anything else you
aak of it —even bringing the world’s finest music
and entertainment rignt into your living room!
Women all over Georgia have equipped
their homes with electric refrigerators and
ranges and the other appliances which let elec¬
tricity really help in the housework. And they
could not he induced to part with them!
A bill now before the State Legislature
threatens to break up that arrangement.
“Bare cord ’ electric rates were put into
effect in the early days when “bare cord” serv¬
ice was the rule.
The old rates were designed for fighting
alone, because the modern electric appliances
had not then been invented. Now. modern
rates have been put into effect, just as the
service itself has been modernized.
The present household rate — a two-part
rate combining a service charge with a kilo¬
watt hour charge—is the best rate this Com¬
pany has ever offered its customers and the
most advantageous front the standpoint of
the customer.
Except for this rate, only the rich could have
electric appliances in their homes, simply be¬
cause the cost of operating them would be
prohibitive to others.

Messrs Frank Carroll and Ben
Allison were fishing mt Tugalo
Wednesday but report the fish were
not hungry.
But with this rate, the poor man and his
wife, who cansot employ servants to do the
housework, can afford to turn over much of
the home drudgery to electrical servants—
and many of them do! The farmer's wife can
cook—electrically — in a cool kitchen. She can
have an electric refrigerator to provide ice for
the table and to keep the food fresh.
There are more electrical appliances in
homes in moderate circumstances in Georgia
today than ever before — simply because the
present rates were designed to make this pos¬
sible. Instead of “oppressing” the poor man,
these rates permit him to enjoy advantages
that were denied to all except the wealthy un¬
der the old rates.
The bill before the Legislature proposes to
abolish the service charge, faking it out of the
rate structure without regard to the effect this
would have on the rate as a whole.
If passed, it would force a return to the old
fashioned "bare cord” rates.
If all anybody wants out of electric service
is a few lights here and there, nothing else,
just plain “bare cord” service, then the pid
style rates might do.
But if you want to really use your electric
service, then you are opposed to this bill,
