A group of farmers from Winder visit
a number of farms iu White County
t Friday, to look over and study pas
es.
1 'Uey were interested and finding out
un farmers methods and how to estab
h some good pastures. It is reported
i; they were particularly in Ladine clo
r, they also thought well otlha grasses,
some of the members of the group
re here last year on a similiar trip and
.y wanted to come back to see how
# pastures were holding up.
[t has been estimated that 30 to 40
sups of farmers from adjoining ooun

thin the past 2 yeats to observe and
tdy tqe pasture work oj farmers.

Don’t you tmink: White county
needs an airport? Welt, then get
right on Ollie Turner to locate a
site.
Isn’t it surprising at the myan new en¬
terprises Cleveland has secured in -the
past year? Col. Pat Haralson, of lilairs
ville, terms Cleveland the fastest grow*
ing “little city” in the U. S. ,We can’t
stop if we are to continue to maintain
that cherished title. What are you ,doing
to keep Cleveland growing?
White County farms are not hopelessly
eroded and worn out as is well proven
by those who are following the Soil Con
servatiop, program. We cannot deny that
some of our soil has eroded and is weary
trim the wrong kiud of cultivation, but
the severdj hundreds of farms tiiat have
been improaed in the past years proves
coneulsively that we are doing k some
thing about it When all of our farms
placed on a high producing rate you will
see a more prosperous and contended
people.
When all the people of Cleveland be¬
come so aroused that they are really
proud qj their town then it will grow.
When people of their town they try ,dili¬
gently to sell visitors on the wonperfttl
possibilities of their "little city” (Cleve¬
land would be far betjer off if (people
wou[d move. We need eaery citizen to.be
a wa[king Chamber of Commerce, |who
will magnify our sc“niu wonderland arc I
that it will be in a few years |the huh of
tourists attractions of the U. [S.
No town in the United States has
telephone service that can come any¬
where near to comparing with Cleve¬
land. Sunday The Editor had an ur¬
gent call he wished to make with
Senator Russell in Washington, D. C.
The Senator does not have a perma¬
nent address and consequently being
Sunday was not in his office or in
the Senate Chamber and we even
called Winder to see if his brother,
Judge Robert L. Russell, could tell
us if he knew what hotel he would
be stopping. He did not know. We
even called Senator Georgia. How¬
ever, Mrs. Carney found him. Can
you equal that?
Sometime the Buford dam will be
built. This dam will back water to
near the White County line on the
Chattahoochee and Chestatee rivers.
Then Cleveland will be in the hub
of the lakes in this section. People
who can see knows what that will
mean. No town in all North Georgia
will offer anything compared to us
if we can have enough modern tour¬
ist courts and hotels to take care of
the people that will come to visit
with us.
Mr. W. H. Hulsey has a farm that
it will pay you to drive through.
Gus York will take Dr. Bennett,
Chief of the Soil Conservation Serv¬
ice, Washington, through it when he
visits White County August 22. The
corn in his bottom land is some¬
thing to marvel it. We don’t believe
any better can be found in Iowa. If
you want to see what soil conserva
tios program means you should see
Mr. Hulsey’s farm.
We need in Cleveland a spirit of
cooperation among our people like
that admired by us all in the peo¬
ple of Helen. When they go after
something for Helen ALL the people
fall in line and put their shoulder
to the wheel. Nobody in Helen ever
would think of trying to block or
in any way slow up a nimove for
some enterprise coming to their pro¬
gressive town. If any person should
start a move of obstruction in Hel¬
en he would be taken care of with¬
out notice or ceremony and given a
quick passage out of their town. They
simply won’t tolerate an obstruction¬
ist to live in Helen. That is the rea¬
son why they get what they go aft¬
er. Somehow Cleveland just can’t get
such a united and wholeheated spir¬
it. We have a few who want to block
and seem to get satisfaction from
keeping Cleveland from going ahead.
Maybe a little name calling would
help to expose them to the public.
If citizens won’t lend their full sup¬
port—time and money—in getting
more enterprises for Cleveland, then
certainly they shouldn’t try to block
the move of those progressive citi¬
zens who are working indefatigably
for Cleveland’s growth and progress.
Congress will adjourn Saturday.
Senator Russell is waging- a valiant
fight for restoration of the appro¬
priation for agriculture. The farm¬
ers should never forget him.
Is anything being done to get an
industry for Cleveland. Isn’t it time
for ACTION ? The business houses
in Cleveland should be willing to put
out plenty of cash to get an indus¬
try. We have talked long enough.
Hitler wanted to get to London
out he could not cross the English
Channel.
Many a farmer in the Western part
of White County wanted to come to
Cleveland in the winter to trade, but
the road sometimes is impassable
just as wet as the English Channel.
Why don’t the businessmen of Cleve¬
land get busy and see that no stone
is unturned until a contract is let?
This road will benefit the business¬
men as well as the farmers.
“Dear,” said Mrs. Blake, “I think
I’ll appear in the charity show. What
do you think people would say if I
wore tights?”
“They’d probably say I married
you for your money,” dourly replied
Mr. Blake.

One of the signs of the last days,
according to the Word, is that people
will be loves of pleasure more than
lovers of God. There is nothing in
the Word of God that would rob men
of that which pleases. God gave us
eyes not only that we may see to get
around, but also that we may behold
that which is beautiful in nature. He
gives us ears not just that we may
hear so we can act intelligently, but
also so we can listen to that which
delights us. He gives us tongues and
a sense of taste so we may enjoy
what we eat. When we enjoy our food
we digest it more easily than we
would if we ate food without any
sense of enjoyment. God wants His
children to have a good time. He
does not, however, wish for us to per¬
vert the appreciation of pleasure so
we will sink to the low level of that
which is sensual and sinful. God does
not wish to have us put too much
emphasis upon pleasure. We may
over indulge ourselves in music and
it is possible to overindulge in that
which pleases the eye. The trouble
with our day is not that men love
pleasure, but that they love pleasure
more than they love God.
When the writer began his evan¬
gelistic career as a boy, there were
no picture shows. In the average
sized town there was an opera house
where there was an occasional the¬
atrical performance and once in a
while there was a musical concert or
a lecture. It was a great event in
the average town when some famous
lecturer or some great singer was
in the opera house for a lecture or
for a musical performance. Now in
this day the average small town has
from one to a half dozen picture
houses where there is a daily the¬
atrical performance and in every the¬
ater the performance is repeated
from two *has to five or six times a day.
Our age gone amusement crazy.
The genius of unregenerated man is
straining itself in an effort to amuse,
entertain, and delight a distracted,
disturbed world which is in spite of
all of man’s boasted greatness, al¬
most scared out of its wits. Certain¬
ly when we look around us we who
believe the Bible are driven to the
conclusion, since in the last days men
are to be lovers of pleasure more
than lovers of God, that we must be
living in the last days. This is not
the only sign of the close of the age.
It might be possible for all these
signs to be aborted by a great world¬
wide, spiritual revival, but unless we
have a world-wide revival soon this
world is headed to chaos. It is not
possible for the inventive genius of
man to produce enough amusements
and to divert the attention of man
sufficiently from his troubles to hold
the world steady. We are headed to
doom unless God comes down and
saves us. .....

It was Mrs. Herschel Evans in¬
stead of Mrs. Frank Evans who was
with William Dorsey and family at
our place.
Once they had a combined Teach¬
ers Institute at Dahlonega. All the
teachers kicked out of traces and
wouldn’t go, except J. D. .Underwood,
Frank Evans and myself. Mr. Albert
Henderson carried the aforemen¬
tioned and Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Kytle
in a two mule wagon. Before this I
had attended an institute at Tal¬
lulah Falls and had eaten a big mess
of pepper. Ask Frank Kenimer how
much. When we got to Yahoola
bridge we met a dark man. They
put me up to ask about pepper.
‘‘Have you any pepper’“Pepper,”
he says, “Yes.” “Black pepper?”
“Yes,” he said, ‘‘he had some at the
house.” They all laughed. That let
the cat out of the wallet. But the
native of Darked was hacked. Have
always been glad I went, I spent the
week with Uncle Me and girls and
heard Prof. G. R. Glenn tell about
his father’s “little mule.” Saw Prof.
B. P. Gaillard make electricity and
heard Prof. J. H. Gaertner lecture
on the digging up of Troy.
Messrs. James Davidson, Grady
Carpenter, Ollie Turner, Fred Free¬
man, Lewis Hightower and Mr. “Old
Taylor” wanted to buy me out lock,
stock and barrel last Saturday, but
l didn’t have on my trading clothes.
Hear they bought the Bell Mill prop¬
erty.
Ervin Ledford’s girl, of near As¬
bestos Buzzing, and Mr. Delos Prince,
of Hiawassee, a pole cutter for Mr.
Crane and Company, were happily
married July 12. We extend to them
our best wishes for a safe trip.
Leo Gilstrap and Miss Runa Bra¬
dy, of near Fred O’Kelley’s Store,
paid Fred Gilstrap and this Scribe
a visit Sunday.
Messrs. James, Jack, Brookton and
Horace Hulsey, from down in the
Valleys of Hall, gave me a call here
recently. They had been up in the
Chattahoochee National Park where
each paid a dollar to fish. They fished
out Chestatee river and Baggs Creek
then came to the beautiful Nacoo¬
chee and fished out Santee Creek.
They caught not a trout, but only
about three little minnows. Pve not
wet a fishing line in 27 years. When
a boy I worked hard to get a few
baby fish. Caught one mess with a
seine, patched up with hickory bark.
They tell you to go fishing and for¬
get all things, but as for myself I
don’t want to forget a blooming
thing.
One day last week Mr. and Mrs.
Will Slaton, of the State of Cali¬
fornia, and Mr. and Mrs. Columbus
Abernathy and daughter made a
short stop with me. Hadn’t seen Will
in some thirty years. Knew his voice
but not his jacket. He is doing well
in the Golden West. They are holding
their own and each draw $60 per
month as an old age pension. They
like California and tell it’s a beau¬
tiful state. Will and T attended the
rural school as taught at Yonah by
Albert Bell and others. We studied
the old “Blue Back Speller,” San¬
ford’s arithmetic, Derry’s history,
Peter Parley’s Tales, Harvey’s Eng¬
lish. One sore toe, one thumb card,
one sty on the left eye and one lit
tie pomegranate in the right hip
pocket.
At noon we played town ball, bull
pen, base, cat and rolla holla and
also had many battles with the yel¬
low- jackets and drank water from
the muddy spring that had a heavy
coat of buttermilk. That house and
spring is gone. Dear Tom, what a
change in the last 40 years.
Will’s father, George Slaton, would
bring nails, a hammer and a saw
and help us to build the stage for the
exhibition, which was then a great
event. Then he would bring his fid¬
dle and make music for us. He could
play half of the night and never tune
his fiddle. Sometimes Sherman Riley
w-ould join him with his banjo. Mr.

Slaton could almost make that fiddie

the World, and a Child of the Skies.”
Several states and cities have been

In memory of our son, Grady Sto¬
vall, killed in car wreck July 28,
1946.
A solemn year has ended
Filled with grief and cares
When others seem so happy
My eyes are filled with tears.
You left when life was sweetest,
Went away in thy early bloom.
Now thy little form is lying
In the cold and silent tomb,
i And your hands are gently folded,
Quiet now your dainty feet.
Brightest eyes are closed forever,
Gone are smiles that were so sweet.
No one knows how much I miss you,
No one knows the silent pain
I have suffered since you left us.
Life has never been the same;
In my loneliness I ponder
O’er days passed and gone
With misty eyes and broken heart
I’ll try to carry on.
God knows my heart and answers
prayers.
His promises all are true
So I pray to him each night and
day
To meet again with you.
His Mother,
MRS. EDGAR STOVALL
