Leflers Io lhe Editor
Dear Editor:
During the month of August
I had the pleasure of making a
visit to the old home county of
Chattooga, where I spent my
boyhood days. It was good to
meet the good old friends I left i
in Trion and Summerville when
I started out for myself on the
last day of December, 1903.
On my visit I saw many chang
es had taken place.
When I left Trion there were I
only two churches the Baptist,
of which my mother was a char
ter member, and also the Metho
dist. In passing the above men
tioned places my mind went back |
to sweet memories of years gone
by. Though I have lived in three ;
different states since I started
out to make my way I still have
and always will have a warm
feeling for the people there.
I have a brother, Mr. G. W.
Rose now living in Summerville.
I trust at some future time I will
have the pleasure of coming back
again to visit him and the good
people of Chattooga County.
If any of the people I failed to
meet, on my visit if you don’t
mind drop me a card I would be
very glad to hear from anyone.
Very often in the letters of the
News I see where names are
mentioned I used to know.
So. far this time I will close by
saying good luck to the News and
the people of old Chattooga.
Respectfully,
William Rose
Dear Mr. Editor:
Until a few years ago I was a i
citizen of this county and I shall I
be interested always in every-

J thing that means a better coun
\ am delighted to have heard
an elderly gentleman and his
wife, Michigan people, compli

Southern States for their friend
)! liness and courtesy, even after
> j they had plunged into the back
water of the nearby stream on
U. S. Highway 27, just a few
paces north of Tidings on last
i Sunday night.
The above incident took place
: I along with another driver who
■ | ran into some dangerous water,
and almost turned over on the
shoulder of the road before the
car came to a stop. A good citi
i zen of Atlanta, Ga., saved us
>■ (my daughter and myself) from
.' the same experience, for which
: we shall always thank him.
I should like to see placed, in
advance to such dangerous
places some sort of warning, an
officer, or a signal in times of
such rains as we had which may
have taken lives further along
down the highway. One other
things which would make our
highways safer—especially dur

Thank you.

In The News Office
Correspondent of the Week
Hail to Mrs. S. H. Self, of Sub
ligna, who says she started writ
ing the news because there was
no one writing from her “little
country villiage ”
“I felt it should be heard
i from,” she declared.
Mrs. Self went to that com
munity 42 years ago this Janu
ary, as a bride, and has spent
most of her married life there.
She says that “of course, I love
; this place, it’s been home so long.
But when I look back it doesn’t
seem long.”
Mrs. Self, a home- loving
house-wife and mother, was born
I and raised in Chattooga County
and has lived here all her life,
1 with the exception of about six
years in another State.
This is the first time she has
■ ever written the community news
j although she or some members of
her family has taken the news
j for several years.
“We like it very much,” she
says, “and miss it so when we fail
■ to get it.”
“When I first remember that
newspaper, it was called the
Chattooga Nev s, and I believe
Mr. Cain was the editor.”
Mrs. Self grew up here in Sum
merville and went to school here
when Professor John King was
principal and during the time nis
brother assisted him and when
Miss Mary Hemphill and Profess
or Flanders took over the duties.
“I have friends from other
places who know Subligna, and
the people her*' They write me
and ask me to keep on writing as
they enjoy the home news so
much.’
Thus, Mrs. Self is contributing
a great deal to community life
by writing the news in her spare
time. She has been a faithful
correspondent, having sent in
news almost every week since
