Habeas Corpus Case
Heard by Ordinary
A writ of habeas corpus to de
termine custody of two minor
children sworn out by Mrs. Es
ther Spears against her husband,
Noel Spears, was heard by Ordi
dinary John King Saturday aft
ernoon. Mrs. Spears was repre
sented by Mose Brinson, while
Ted Rosser represented Mr.
Spears.
It developed at the trial that
Mrs. Spears had separated from
her husband and left home, and
the suit was to obtain custody of
two minor children, both boys,
age 11 and 12 years. Ordinary
King ruled that the father should
have custody of the children un
til one week before school begins
next fall, then the children be
returned to their mother during

term ends next spring, they are
to be returned to the custody of
the father.

Cemetery Fund
Still Dragging
The fund for cleaning the local
cemetery has received a few more
donations. Twenty-two dollars
has been received since our last
issue which, with sl7 previously
reported, brings the total to $39
This is just a little over one-third
of the amount need—sloo. The
News again appeals to our local
citizens, especially those with
loved ones laid to rest in the cem
etery, to mail or send their do
nations for this worthy cause to
our office, marking same for
cemetery fund.
The young, the old, both white
and Negro, are sleeping their last
sleep there —the ones we loved so
well in life. The least we can do
is to make the little mound over
them as presentable as possible.
They shared our joys and sor
rows, helped us bear life’s bur
den’s while they could. Let us not
forget them now that they are
gone.

and the university would like to

State Game and Fish
Face Worst Pressure
In Georgia History
Georgia game and fish are now
up against the worst rod and gun
pressure in the history of the
state, according to Charles N. El
liott, director of the state game
and fish commission.
Elliott asserted that during the
past year, considerably more
hunting and fishing licenses have
been sold. He pointed out that a
record number of nimrods will be
stalking the state for game dur
ing the hunting season coming
up.
Referring to the record of
sharp increases of sportsmen
after the last war, Elliott said
that all indications are that the
coming hunting season will find
a record number of returned
veterans and weary war workers
turning to field and stream for
recreation.
Although it is true that permit
sales have and will result in in
creased income, the increased ad
ministration and protection costs
would more than eat up the in
creased revenue, he informed,
adding:
“It will theerfore be more nec
essary than ever if we are to
have a reasonable amount of our
game resources available to hunt
ers in the future for sportsmen
and landowners to cooperate
with the state in its efforts to
hold what we have and wherever
possible to increase the game
crop of the state.”

Legionnaires Win sth
Victory of Season
The Legionnaires won their
iifth victory of the season last
Sunday by romping over LaFay
ette by the score of 9-5. “Buck”
Rich did the hurling for the lo
cals and was in trouble only once
but nice fielding pulled him
through.
Bill Cavin, local backstop, led
the hitters with three for five,
one of them a tremendous three
bagger over the center fielder’s
head. J. L. Alexander had two
hits and a nice day afield- Drum
mond also played airtight base
ball at third. Jack Cash made a
nice running catch of a pop fly
back of third to take fielding
honors for the day.
This contest, scheduled for La-
Fayette, was transferred to Le
gion Field, and in some way the
league umpires got their wires
all crossed up and did not put in
an appearance. After delaying
the game for approximately SO
minutes, Hubert Cash and Roy
Alexander called the game, with
Cash behind the plate and Alex
ander on the bases.
Next Sunday Flintstone comes
to Summerville for a double
header starting at 2 o’clock. Gro
ver Jackson will probably start
in the opener with Buck Rich in
the nightcap. This promises to be
the best games yet seen in the
local park. Even though Flint
stone has one loss to their cred
it, they have a much better team
than Hixson. If Summerville can
take this double-header they
stand a chance yet to take first
half honors. Fans coming out to
this affray can rest assured that
they will get their money’s worth
of good baseball.

J. S. Cleghorn
Passes Away
Here Friday
By WILSON J. CULPEPPER
John Storey Cleghorn, member
of a prominent pioneer Chattoo
ga County family and postmaster
at Berryton, died at his home in
Summerville on the afternoon of j
Friday, June 7, of coronary
thrombosis after an illness of a I
few weeks. He was 65 years of
age.
His father was the late Capt.
John S- Cleghorn, of the Confed
erate Army and for years a
prominent merchant in Sum
merville.
Mr. Cleghorn was preceded in
death by a son, John Storey
Cleghorn, Jr., and by a daughter,
Adalaide Martin. Cleghorn.
Surviving him are his widow,
the former Miss Nona Reese, of
Rome; a son, Reese Cleghorn,
and a brother, C. C. Cleghorn, all
of Summerville; a sister, Mrs.
Powell Glass, of Lynchburg, Va.;
two nieces, Mrs. Josephine Pat
ton, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and
Mrs. S. L- Knight, of Lindale;
nephews, John, William and Rob
ert Pitner, of Chattanooga, and
John Storey, Collins and William
Cleghorn, of Summerville, and
Powell Glass, Jr., of Lynchburg.
Funeral services were held at
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, June
9, at the Summerville Methodist
Church, conducted by the pastor,
the Rev. Wilson J. Culpepper. In
terment was in the Summerville
Cemetery.
Mr. Cleghorn attended Emory
College at Oxford, Ga. Early in
his young manhood, he became
identified with the mencantile
business, as was his father. For
17 years he and his family re
sided in Lyerly where he had
business connection. After retir
ing from the mercantile business,
he served as postmaster at Ber
ryton.
Mr. Cleghorn joined the Sum
merville Methodist Church, and
had been active in religious work
practically all of his life. During
his residence in Lyerly he was a
member of the Lyerly Methodist
Church, serving as a steward in
the church and teaching a Sun
day School class.
Upon returning to Summer
ville, he moved his membership
back to his old home church here
and remained an active member
until his health became impair-
I ed, serving as Sunday School
teacher, Sunday School superin
i tendent, trustee and steward in
his church. At the time of his
death, he was both a trustee and
a steward.
John Storey Cleghorn was a
man of high ideals and of intense
activity. Whatsoever his hand
found to do, he did it with his
might. “With every grace of
heart a friend” has been truly
said of him. In business, he was
a man of the highest honor and
integrity. He did not hesitate to
stand for what he conceived to
be right, even when it meant fi
nancial loss and other suffering
for himself and family. Because
of his high character, he was
greatly esteemed and highly re
spected. After he passed away,
a person in meager circum
stances said, “I have lost my best
friend.” His name is beyond re
proach and his influence for
good will live on through his
loved ones, his church, his
friends and his community. A
true man has gone from us. May
the Lord raise up many more of
like quality!

Game Law Violators
Pay S6BB in Fines
For Month of May
During the month of May, 48
persons paid a total of $688.25 in
fines for violations of game and
fish regulations, according to
Fred Brewer, assistant director
of the state game and fish com
mission.
The offenses ranged from poi
soning fish to hunting doves out
of season. Two people were con
victed for poisoning fish, eight
for shooting doves out of season,
two for hunting without a li
cense, one for hunting with an'
unplugged gun and 35 for fishing
without a license.
Brewer stated that violating
the law was not only an unprof
itable pastime, but that individ
uals so doing were only depriving
themselves and others of their
legitimate game crop.
Further. Brewer pointed out, it
is far easier and less expensive
to obey the law than to violate it.
For example, Georgia’s fishing li
censes for state residents cost
only $1.25 per year. The money is
used for the benefit of all to pro
tect the fish and better condi
tions for all fishermen.
The violator, however, not only
must purchase his license but
must pay a fine as well.
