Mr. Martin, of Helen, was down
this way one day last week hunting
employment. He tells that he now
is missing his wages th it the Morse
Bros, paid him for the last six
years. They have never dodged
behind a little technicality in the
law to defeat justice. The Red
Cross has given him some 11 mr, bat

here too are missing their pay.
Along about 1919-20 they worked

The commencements are now on
hind. They used to call them ex
hibitious. The reason they changed
it is because they generally begin
to find out about this this time how
little they know. The old time
schools only taught the three R’s,
reading ’riling and "ritlimetic, but
t my taught them well. They had
line upon line and precept upon
precept less they forget, and here a
little and there a little. Some com¬
plain they are not turning our good
spellers as in former day s. The
reason is easily determined. I he
cuiri'culum is now crowded by
many studies and they have no time
to devote to it. Knowledge comes
veryfslowly. We are sometimes
surprised at the dull student who
after school days far exceed the
genius. They are like the tortoise
they have kept plodding on. The

the best. We live and learn

The body of Mr. William A,Mc¬
Gee was iterred in Shoal Creek
cemetery a tew days ago. Mr.Mc¬
Gee was horned in 1851 in Lump¬
kin county and joined the church at

Catoosa county tor several years.
Mr, McGee was a carpenter by oc¬
cupation and a man of choice
habits. At tiie October court in
Lumpkin, Mr. McGee at the age of
80 served mi the Grand Jury. Wil¬
liam A. McGee was the father of 9
children, 41 grand children and a
number of great grandchildren. He
was an old time singer. He was
buried by the aide of his wife who
preceeded him to the grave 6 years
ago.
Mrs. Bill Parker is very feeble
and Mrs. Turner is yet on the bed.
Both ladies are in their nineties,
and each one is not expected to
live long.
Sunday was feet-wasliing day at
Zion church in Lumpkin and that

Health Unit In County
The Mobile Health Unit, of the
State Department of Public Health
which moved into the county on
May the eleventh is now at work
carrying out its health program.
Clinics have been arranged at
places over the county as conven¬
ient for the people as was found
possible and it is hoped by the
director of the Unit that the people
i will take advantage of the treat¬
ments offered at once and cotne to
the clinicf at the time set by the
nurse, Miss Arnold, in charge of
the work. The treatments offered
by the nurse are all lree and are
treatments j.tluit everyone should
have now if they have not already
1,ad them. Pile diseases of typhoid
fever, diphtheria and smallpox
should be stamped nut and this is
the only way that is practicable in
this section. \\ e must take these
preventative teatments if we are to
get rid of the diseases and now
that they are offered without cost
is the time to take them. They
still are reported each year cases of
typhoid fever, diphtheria etc., over
every section of our state and each
year from four to five hundred peo¬
ple die in Georgia from typhoid
ind from a hundred to two hundred
children from diphtheria. Thest
ire useless deaths when tiiese sim¬
ple treatments now offered by the
naallh unit will prevent them. Ii
you are in doubt us to the value of
these preventive measures ask the
advice of your family physician
tnd take them from „him or from
the nurse in your community at
once. Summer and fail are the
seasons of the year when typhoid
fever is most prevalent so protect
your family and yourself now. The
clinics are open each day from.four
thirty tn the afternoon and all of
each Saturday at the Court House
foj treatment of those who cure to
have them there.
CLEVELAND. GEORGIA. MAY 2 <>, 1982.
From The Sublime
I'o The Pediculous
Effective May 1 . the Georgia
Railroad will take off two more
passenger trains, the noon and the
afternoon trains, leaving Conyers
with only two trains a day, one in
each direction, according to per¬
mission of the Public Service Coin
mission.
It seems that the public is hell¬
bent on destroying unto the utter¬
most, all tilings orthodox, and
adopting bootleg methods as a new
standard. We want our liquor to¬
day, but want it Irom a bootlegger
—just anything to be different and
irregu lar.
They say Conyers is a self-made
community—that is not exactly
1 rue, but it is true that our people
are practicing self-destruction. We
have heard of many self-made men,
but never of an entirely self-made
woman or community. The weed
will grow unassisted and is self
sustaining, but there is no fruit.
Did you ever take not ice of a’‘com¬
munity” of weeds? Nothing pro¬
gressive about them, fact, retro¬
gression is their outstanding char¬
acteristic and they perish in their
fruitless effort to .-.tifie the progress
of all standard methods of life
producing 'ervice.
That is what the tiuck and bus
is doing for Conyers and most |di
Conyers is standing by admiring
the retrogression and there is no
who can say this is not tme. (Jtur
population has decreased from
more than two thousand to less
than fifteeu hundred. Iiv spite of
our merchants “saving the freight”
our mercantile establishments have
decreased more than fifty percent,
Conyers is not growing nor pros
pering at the hands of the truck
and bus. If “saving the freight”
was as claimed, our merchants
would all be able to retire today.
When the railroad retires from this
community as it is being forced to
do and to do rapidly, the Milstead
Mfg, Co., will complete the exodu
and wi'h more than half of the
public income gono, you will see
Rockdale County itself fused with
some other county and then Con¬
yers and Rockdale County will
have become as the “man without
1 country.” Can you people not
see what "‘saving the freight” will
do and is already doing for 0111
community? The truck and bus
are as fruitless to Conyers as the
weeds—merely stifling tire lifeblood
of Conyers as a unit.—Editorial m
Lit hullist Journal.
